Snowy Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 What is traditional for bonfire night food? I've invited some friends for supper on Friday, post bonfire and fireworks. Apart from jacket potatoes, parkin and toffee apples, what else is usually served bonfire night? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Definately some sort of soup. Pumpkin, chunky veg, tomato? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Pumpkin Soup, sausage and caramelised onion in baps and cinder toffee. Don't forget the games apple bobbing and our favourite - strings of marshmallows hanging from a broomstick, see who is the fastest to eat them all.

Snowy Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Oooh, good ideas thank you! Soup it is (followed by buttered baked potatoes in foil - It's years since I've eaten them like that! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Chilli and Parkin. Not on the same plate. Oh, and Cinder Toffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 We normally do a chilli / a stew. I also make parkin, toffee apples & treacle toffee. I've decided this year though that it's always us that puts in the hard work & enough is enough. So if we are going to do anything, it will be bangers on skewers with bacon wrapped round. Put them with some barbecue hp sauce & some curly fries & that will do. Easy & the curly fries, just bung them in the oven. Hot chocolate with Tia Maria & squirty cream if wanted - very warming.

Cinnamon Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I usually do my 'Halloween Beanpot', which is a curryish mince mix with baked beans & butternut squash - easy to eat & totally delicious. I have posted the recipe up before. Oooooo - just had an email from BBC Good Food, with this link: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/recipes/occasions/bonfire-night/?utm_source=Week%20206%20-%2003/11/10%20-%20bonfire&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Browse%20the%20Bonfire%20Night%20recipe%20collection&utm_campaign=Week%20206%20-%2003/11/10%20-%20bonfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 My pinny is on and I am cooking up a storm! Jacket pots in the oven; chillied bean stew on the hob (no recipe, just a hotch potch of various ideas, but including minced beef, toms, onions, mushrooms, baked beans, chilli, peppers and whatever else was to hand!); ginger cake just come out of the oven (left it too late to make parkin, but this recipe is a close second!). Ordered a pumpkin via Ocado and got one the size of a very small melon so the pumpkin soup has been supplemented with parsnips and swede Am just about to attempt toffee apples Thanks for all the ideas!
