why are you trying to impress with the food? it's hardly as though thats the reason people are there.
As previously said, go with the audience and what they would expect i.e traditional. Get a local caterers to do something a bit more professional if you want.

Not that this is real but just contact a local caterer who will put together something for £3-10 a head.

Funeral Potatoes
Originally posted by gricerboy View PostI've been entrusted with the catering arrangements for the funeral of a recently deceased elderly relative and I'm looking at injecting a little pizzazz into the occasion with something a little above and beyond the usual funeral fayre which normally seems to consist of a few strategically placed trays of limp cucumber sandwiches.
Now, I must confess to being a little stuck for ideas so, as usual, it's over to my dear friends at CUK to pique my imagination with some inspirational suggestions.
Nothing too spicy mind you, I don't want a repeat of the last family gathering at which my great aunt Hilda sneezed her false teeth across the church hall after being overcome by Malc's wasabi peas.
I also want something that can be eaten with the minimum of fuss and mess. Damage limitation to the our Axminster shag pile is of prime concern and I don't want my cheese slipping from its cracker worrying about it all through the event.
Any ideas from our resident epicureans would be most appreciated.
Try these.

Made them a few times, without being a funeral.
They are sooo tasty, should put a smile on a few faces!

Of course, if the deceased died of a heart attack, you might want to go light on the cholesterol.

I'm going to have to keep it a private function owing to the potentially anti-social behaviour of some of the attendees.
I have one uncle with wandering hands, especially when it comes to Trainspotters and another whose party piece is to stand on a table and say "the Bishop of Bath and Wells" in a belch.
FTFY twice...

Don't forget to have 'Coffin Fodder' by 'Cradle of Filth' on the PA, it's really quite beautiful....
