Is anyone doing an "October fest" theme dinner
I need menu ideas for an October fest theme dinner for 10.
Brats/sausage, sauerkraut, maybe rolls and/or dark bread. German chocolate cake?
what else? salad? potatoes(but not necessarily German potato salad)
Re: Is anyone doing an "October fest" theme dinner
What a great idea! What about an appetizer of beer cheese and pretzels?
No, but now I want to!
Great idea.
Found these fun party ideas that might offer some additional suggestions for your menu and general party planning:

I have never had an Oktoberfest dinner but I have thrown an Oktoberfest party. We supplied different sausages (grilled), sauerkraut, sauerkraut balls, pretzels and beer cheese and other people brought things as well. A Black Forest cake or Bavarian Cream Puffs would be a nice dessert. One friend brought a german soup (can't remember the name). If I were doing a dinner I'd probably do a pork roast or beer chicken. Rye bread, pickles, etc... I did order a beer mug and pretzel chocolates mold and made small chocolates for everyone. That was a hit. Ohhh...cheeses. There are many German cheeses (butterkaise is my favorite). Provide a good/quality German beer and some German Rieslings (yum).
As for German Chocolate Cake...that's not German. Just google it's "history."
