Buffet for National day (17th of may)

[glennbech]

Hello friends,

It's been a while, I think maybe years since I posted. I was very active some years back, and I probably have hundreds of posts on Sourdough baking :-)

Now I am catering for 12 people for a celebration of our national day. I have decided on a buffet for simplicity and logistics. The traditional Norwegian buffet usually contains foods like

- Scrambled Eggs

- Chicken

- Roast-beef

- Burgers on bread with browned onions.

- Smoked salmon

- Fish

. And so on

I really, really want to make a twist on this, and I am now seeking inspiration for amazing buffet food. I also want to challenge myself on this and use it as an occasion to learn something new. I also want to pick a “theme” so that the tastes are more or less coherent. No Tacos, Shusi & Pasta buffet 

Ideas?

Ok Glenn

I'll take a stab at this one...If I was doing a 4th of July meal that included all those elements I might go with -

Quich or Frittata

Chicken cut into 8 or 10 pieces (breasts can be cut in half)

prepared with a dry seasoning of Paprika, Salt, Pepper, Garlic powder...etc

Grilled or baked and topped with BBQ sauce

Flank Steak or a cut known here as "London Broil" a top or bottom round steak

Seasoned and grilled...the carmelised onions would be great with that

Burgers would be...burgers

Salmon baked with a mixture of Apricot Preserves and Dijon

Pasta and Veg Salad

Green Salad

Potato Salad

Assorted Breads
