    Here's the menu we've worked out with our caterer for a 7pm heavy hors deuvres reception.

    We'll have over a dozen vegetarians out of the 150ish guests. 

    Have we covered enough of the food spectrum to make everyone happy?  Anything glaring that we've left out?

     

    Stationary Cocktail Hour:
    Cheese, Olives & Fresh Fruit
    Fresh Vegetables & Dip
    Hummus & Taboolie w/Syrian Bread
    Grapeleaves

    Hand Passed Appetizers:

    Shrimp Cocktail
    Coconut Chicken
    Filo Cups
    Franks under Cover
    Spanikopita
    Soup Shooters (tomato basil, clam chowder)
    Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Dates (brought from Regal Beagle)

    Buffet:
    Mashed Potato Bar (cheese, wasabi, scallions, bacon bits, sour cream, broccoli)
    Beef Kebab
    Mini Sliders (beef/turkey/veggie)
    Kibbeh Nayeh
    Veggie Sushi (avacado and sweet potato rolls)

    Desserts:
    Cupcakes (provided by SL)
    Chocolate Covered Strawberries
    Coffee (Regular & Decaf)
    Tea

    I would love it with the mashed potatos, kebabs and sliders!  I'm by far not a vegetarian, and it looks like there is enough to make the veggies happy along with carnivores like myself!

    Um, that sounds totally awesome. And I have never even conceived of avocado and potato sushi before, but now I want it so bad.

    Oh, and I'm veg, and I would be more than happy. A flexible vegan would probably even make it through and be well fed.

    @TankGirl: thanks... good to know, I think a couple are vegan- I'm going to make little placards to mark veggie vs non veggie stuff - I know its annoying when you have to ask or worry...
