Thread: Foods and Desserts That Were the First to Disappear and Those That Didn'

Tweet

Tiny eggrolls
Pigs in a blanket
Macaroni and cheese - I only made 4 Kraft boxes worth and it was a hit. I should've just made one big vat of this
Witches' finger cookies
Rice krispie cakes
Chocolate mice on skewers



Was barely eaten:
Meathead (no one even touched him, but they ate the cheese I arranged around him)

What are Chocolate mice on Skewers?

I posted a couple recipes that everyone loved at our party here:

Hit recipes everyone loved

Also a hit at our party was:

Chili
Rice Crispy Treats
BBQ Meatballs
Layered Mexican dip
Margarita & Cosmopolitan Jello Shots! (found the recipe here in the jello shot thread)
and this stuff that looked awful that a guest brought in a crockpot:

nacho cheese sauce, with salsa and cooked ground beef mixed in. (It looked like puke, and I think that was her plan because she came dressed as Malibu Barfy.) Everyone loved it.

Had a lot of veggies and dip and cheese and crackers left.

Everyone at the:
Ribs
Mr. Meathead meat
peanut butter eyeballs
brownies
rice crispy treat crosses (all gone)
cheese and crackers
beef jerky (all gone)
salsa and chips
garlic chicken wings
people chow
gingerbread cookies

didn't eat much:
cheeseball
cream cheese w/cranberries
black chicken wings
beer can chicken (this was the best thing too!)
the funky cool really expensive cheese from Whole Foods (about $40 down the drain)
punch

think I'm going more simple next year, though I get tons of compliments on the food, sick of wasting my money!

The deadman's meatloaf is always the first to go. Every year I make him bigger but he still disappears before my hubby gets a chance to grab some of it.

An Indian friend of mine brought spicy chicken patties. They went quickly as well....along with the chicken wings. I think dutchies are meat lovers lol

I had alot of the hand paté leftover and the eyeballs I made. My friend made them last year and they turned out much better for her lol Mine turned out yellow...so I just called them hepatitis eyeballs haha

this is a good thread! any other ideas hf's?!?!

Last year I had my party catered since it has gotten so big, but still had a lot of food left. I think my guests drink way more than they eat. They killed the chicken wings, small roastbeef sandwiches, I made my own sausage, velveeta cheese, rotel peppers dip in a crockpot(two of the biggest crockpots were totally scraped clean), chips and cupcakes. I had lots left of spinach artichoke dip, kitty litter cake(love how it works but it never gets eaten), sliced cheese, vegetables, and crackers. My husband thinks we should just fix the food ourselves this year since I am taking Thursday and Friday off and the Party is on Saturday night. We will def. keep it low key with mostly dips in crockpots, wrap sandwiches from Restaurant Depot, chips, and cupcakes. Oh and my husband makes his famours Caramel Crack (popcorn) that is addictive and gets eaten up. He has to make tons cause everyone wants to take it home.

what went quickly: wings, pizza, mac n chz, pumpkin roll up, veggies, crackers, queso, diff chips, we had all lot of sweets left over . I think people skip on dinner before the party and grub when they come............ its a party not thanksgiving dinner.

At our Boo Bash last Saturday, our crock pot items went very fast.

1.) We did the classic recipe of meatballs (we used frozen turkey meatballs), with a bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce and and equal amount of grape jelly. The combination sounds weird, but makes an awesome sweet & sour sauce. We made three pounds and they were gone by 10:00 pm. I was hoping for leftovers too.

2.) We also did a crock pot of pulled pork. This was used for pulled pork nachos or sandwiches. It was accompanied by a small crock pot of queso (Melted Velveea with Rotelle tomatoes and peppers). Everyone was going back for more. Again, no leftovers for me...

I'm getting hungry reading all this !!!! We don't usually have many sweets...and we've been lucky we don't have hardly anything left over....chili, meatballs, cheese dips, mac & cheese, taco dip, cheese ball, chips , little sausages weiners...my drunken friends eat it all up .....LOL

No one ever touches:
The meathead
Kitty litter
The black Martha Stewart cheese log
cookies and candy

What goes fast:
Snot-chos (nacho cheese with green food color)
meatballs in bbq sauce
tequila lime wings
Ham-spread brain
mummy dogs

I think the drunks like the savory food. It sounds like you all are making mac n cheese. Do you do anything to keep it warm, or do you just put it out as is? My mom has some chafing dishes I could probably borrow, I might try some mac n cheese.
