Lurker needs your help. Havana Nights Themed Party
Hello ladies, I'm a lurker here, and I'm I was hoping I could get some suggestions for a Havana Nights Themed Party I'm throwing for my husband's 30th Birthday Party. It will be about 40-50 people. This is what I have so far:
Ham Croquettes
Plaintains and mojo sauce
Cheese pastries
Fruit Tray
Ham/Cheese Tray
Mini Cuban Sandwiches
Guava and Cheese
Artichoke Dip
Seven layer dip
This is what I have so far. Does that sound llike enough food for a heavy appetizers party? Any suggestions you can think of would be truly appreciated. TIA:)
Re: Lurker needs your help. Havana Nights Themed Party
My only problem with this menu is that there is a lot of ham and cheese dishes. As someone who doesn't like ham or cheese, it really limits my options.
I don't really know much about Cuban food, but I stumbled across this site and I think there are some good options here:

You could add something like a spicy sweet potato fry or mixed green salad. Like PP mentioned, there's lots of ham/cheese on there. I know I've said this before, but I have lots of vegetarian & lactose-intolerant friends (and some who are both!) so I try to make sure there's at least a few good options for them as well.
Have you thought about a bar menu? Rum drinks are a must -- Cuba Libre and Mojito come to mind first.
