a large chicken and rice platter,
50 Cheese pies
50 Beef kibbeh
40 Bacon wrapped dates
Hummus platter
Babganoush platter
4 lbs Grape leaves
4 lbs Tabouli salad
40 Falafels
Large platter of Baklava and homemade chocolate chip cookies for dessert
Pita and pita chips

I’m sure it’ll be tasty but I probably wouldn’t eat much. This menu means pretty hard toward non vegetable vegetarian options so if that’s your group, that’s great. I’m more of a protein and vegetables person and this is all pretty carb/grain heavy. [/quote]

I’m just curious what would be your ideal menu? Like a barbecue spread? We just wanted Mediterranean tapas and I don’t eat lamb as many other others in the party our vegetarians so it works but I am curious maybe I should have added more meat options.[/quote]

It’s just that the protein options are combined with other ingredients. Like kibbeh has wheat in it, which I don’t eat. The cheese is in dough. The only salad is tabbouleh which again has wheat you can’t remove. The babaganoush I would eat but I don’t eat pita (wheat) so it wouldn’t be great unless you have crudite. I personally would have been happier with a few skewers, the Greek salad, I do like lamb, etc. But I would not be upset at all if I showed up at your party. I’d happily celebrate. The food sounds delicious. It’s just really designed for people who have different dietary requirements than I do. It sounds like you know your guests and for most guests this would work. [/quote]
