XP: Menu Critique

Tayrusso

I posted this on WC, but of course I need all of your opinions too!  This is the menu I've drafted for C's party.  There are approx. 40 peeps attending.  Thoughts or suggestions?

Appetizers:

Mango salsa & chips

Veggie tray (boring)

Teriyaki chicken wings (or should I do meatballs?)

Fruit tray with pineapple dip

Main:

Pulled pork sandwiches

Breaded chicken tenders w/ some kind of dipping sauce

Ham & pineapple skewers

Veggie quesadillas (I'm debating btw veggie quesadillas and veg. skewers)

Sides:

Cole Slaw

Macaroni salad

Hawaiian ambrosia salad

Banana bread 

Hawaiian fried rice (recipe courtesy of Branny) 

Dessert:

Birthday cake

Megamuffin

Yum!! That all sounds so good.

I would do the veggie quesadillas instead of the skewers so that there is something substantive for any vegetarians to eat.

And now I'm craving banana bread.

I would definitely do the quesadillas instead of the veggie skewers.  I would also do meatballs instead of the wings.  But that's just because I find wings very frustrating to eat at a party, and party meatballs are the bomb!

Sounds very yummy though!

i would do dillas and meatballs too - wings are hard to eat in front of others.

Oy, I read this, but forgot to reply!

Thank you for the feedback ladies!

I'm going to toss the wings and do the meatballs.  They'll be easier to prep and eat.

Seeing the whole menu together kind of freaked me out, b/c I've never cooked for that many peeps before.

ETA:  I think I'll do quesadillas.  Maybe chipotle style?  (If I wrap them in foil, I can just toss them on the grill to melt the cheese)
