(Have a lot of 'old school' attending, plus us young ones kinda like it too :0) ) However it cannot be FISH, SOUP or FUNGUS (Mushrooms - yuckkky yuck yuck....) Any ideas girlies?? Kxxx

hmmm what about mini pastys or pork pie or similar - tricky one avoiding fish/soup/fungus
Or maybe my fav garlic bruschetta with tomato/onion/cucumber

What about prawn cocktail? Or does that count as fish ? lol x
CommentAuthorKarlie1976
lol, fish I would jump at the chance of having something like that, or avocado etc, but Stu hates it with a passion and some of the guests do too. I cant stand fungus.. And to be honest I am not paying £84 a head to have a bowl of soup as a starter, lol! The menu the venue provided is a bit toooo much... So maybe a parma ham, asparagus, poached eggy kinda thing... Liking the pot skins/wedges idea too! In fact liking them all....
Kxxxx

Helloooooooooo The catering lady is in LOL
I hear what you're saying about £84 a head for soup. A few of the girls have said cheeseboards, traditionally they are offered as an alternative to dessert OR as a post meal nibble.
Melon is always a good bet, but instead of just galia melon (which is probably what you'll get offered) how about a trio of melon with a raspberry coulis - basically that's galia, honeydew & watermelon with runny raspberry jam
Terrine of duck with a caramalised red onion confit
or for a cute little slant how about mini fish and chips served in a paper cone. I know you weren't keen on the fish idea but it's fish & chips!! *yum yum* :)
hope that helps xxx
It's right what they say
"The course of true love never runs smoothly"
But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D
CommentAuthorKarlie1976
thanks Kerrylou.. (catering lady :0) )
Its such a pain... they just will not entertain the idea of fish, even though I love it... Melon - I cant do it... thats a dessert to me, lol.. Love the cheese idea but will be too heavy for a starter... I guess mini quiche or something along those lines.... arrghhh... I am spot on with all the other dishes, lol! They are also serving home made fudge with coffee etc after!
mmmm

Ok you are making me hungry now! xx
CommentAuthorKerrylou
You're welcome Karlie :)
Mini quiche could be good, if you want something a bit zingy there's goats cheese and red pepper - I don't like goat's cheese but I could eat that all day long :P (yes, I'm strange LOL)
If you like I could go through the new wedding menus of the venues I used to work at and see if I can get a flash of inspiration for you, there's bound to be something somewhere that all your guests will love. xxx
