[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what do you serve a crowd, OP (and all of you who put "ready to eat" "food" in "quotation marks")?

Are you all growing organic blueberries and transforming them into nutritious not-too-sweet quick bread whilst straining your own organic yogurt and lightly roasting organic kale into chips?

Honestly. It's a party. Have some baked beans and a hot dog. It won't kill you.[/quote]

I know you're being sarcastic, but I'll answer.

For a BBQ, we do high-quality hamburgers, hot dogs and buns. I make my own pulled pork BBQ, baked beans, potato salad. Huge fresh vegetable platter, huge fruit salad, plus sliced watermelon. Fresh corn on the cob. Tortilla chips, salsa, homemade guacamole. Homemade brownies and Rice Krispie treats (which are just fun, I know they're not fine fare).

The quality of dogs/burgers/buns matters. Making the items I make vs. buying at grocery = far less sodium! preservatives, etc. Fresh options are great to keep it all balanced. [/quote]

OP, if I am grilling I absolutely will NOT buy those premade burger patties (they use them when they occasionally grill for the employees where I work and they are horrible), I make my own potato salad and jack up canned baked beans. But I don't require other people to, particularly people who like getting together but are also dual working couples with young children and whose goal is a good time with friends as opposed to expecting a restaurant experience of food.

OP here and I didn’t write that reply above.[/quote]
