Hi all - asking for help for ladies better able to cater than me.
We're having a Grand Final day BBQ and I hate the thought of running out of food. We're expecting 18-19 adults inculding DH & I plus 3 kids (10, 4, 2). People will be coming at different times of the day, but we're expecting most at 1pm, with others coming about 3pm. We have a Webber BBQ, so DH will be in charge of that (in the rain & hail, poor thing). Have we organised enough food? We originally thought there'd be 15.
We've ordered from the butcher:
20 lamb sausages
15 small steaks
10 lamb back straps (which can be cut smaller, say 2 or 3)
10 hamburgers
We'll also make a salad, though I'm thinking of just buying 1-3 different ones.
DH wants to make bruschetta to start.
I've also bought:
2 lots of savoury mixes/nuts
1 large packet of Toobs
2 cheeses (vintage cheddar and blue) and a large packet of Arnotts cheese board biscuits
We'll also buy some baps (soft buns) on the day, for the sausages/steaks etc. Do you think 24 will be OK? And bread for the bruschetta - would a bread stick be best?
A friend is bringing a cake, another some rum balls, another some soft drink. We have a case of beer and loads of wine.
I'm not sure it's going to be enough and I get embarrassed if we run out of food, but I also historically over-cater. I was thinking maybe we should get some party pies & sausage rolls from the bakery (it's good quality stuff). Also need some vegie bugers for the vegetarian. I want to get dips from the market on the day, maybe with some more cheese. Oooh and maybe one of those long spinach and fetta pastry things.
