Back to the 80's theme 30th Bday!

[STARRYSKY]

my big 30 is coming up in march and I am having an 80s themed Bday party!

Everyone has been advised on their invites to dress accordingly, invites have gone out.
BUT....
I am struggling a bit coming up with food and drink ideas that are 80s inspired.
I have been suggested to put little flags in everything, aparantley a BIG thing to make food look more exotic then...

I am planning on having 2 types of ****tails available to guests, one is going to be pina coladas (of course!) but the other I cant decide...

can anyone help me with some inspiration?
TIA!

Are you going to have West Coast coolers and that peach wine in a cask? Those were always Mums staples in my 80's childhood LOL. One thing I remember is sliced devon with mashed potato rolled up in it and held with a toothpick and ****tail onions, there were always those tiny green, red and white ****tail onions.

ETA - google 80's food and you get loads of sites

Yes fritz LOL. I know always grossed me out too because it was served cold and who wants to eat cold mashed spud but nearly every time we went out to a party as kids the they were, all arranged nicely on a plate LOL

Fluffy ducks were a very 80's thing...but they do taste gross.
