Olympic party ideas, menus.


Now the hard thing to do is you are thinking of doing a party on the opening of the Olympics is to think of a theme.  The easy ones are stick to making everything in to the Olympic rings, use onions rings, apple rings, pine apple rings, burgers with a hole on the middle and doughnuts with the right colour of icings on each one. Or do you try and go for a theme of a Greek night , London night, International night or just use the gold, silver and bronze in you decoration and food. Personally I would try and do all of that. Here is my attempted at a Olympic menu, you will note there is no cheese cores as I think the menu is cheesy enough as it is.

Chef Wise Olympic menu.
Starters orders  ‘On your marks….’
The Olympic flame, deep-fried prawns in tempura batter with a wasabi dressing
From mount Olympus itself   Greek salad, dressed salad leaves served with Mediterranean cous cous, mixed olives, cherry tomatoes
Going for gold , Thai chicken meat balls, home made with fresh coriander with sweet chilli sauce and garlic mayo
Mains ‘…get set, go!’
100m sprint, quick pan fried fillet of beef  with a red wine jus, green vegetable medley and  new potatoes
Boxing Duck, marinated sliced duck  in chilli, garlic, and oyster sauce, with mushrooms and crunchy asparagus

Free-style swimmer, oven roasted salmon fillet with a classic lemon butter sauce .

Heptathlon veg, a mix of chargrilled Mediterranean vegetables, with slices of goat’s cheese and a pesto dressing.

Desserts, ‘… and to the finishing line’
A hope skip and a jump, a tripe chocolate mousse.
A G4S mess, summer berries with whipped cream with meringue, and a sour candy for a bitter after taste.
Vanilla vela dorm ice-cream, homemade dairy ice-cream served in a brandy snap basket
The closing ceremony
Coffee with gold, silver and bronze medal pet fours  


Out of all of them I think I am actually proud of the G4S mess , why not have a little satire in your menu.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then...
