Do you love nothing more than asking your friends to come around for
dinner parties? Are you getting a little bored serving the same old dishes all
the time? Then maybe you should perform some research and think outside of the
box? There are hundreds of thousands of cool recipes online, so there is no
excuse for cooking steak and fries at every gathering. Best of all? some of the
tastiest and unusual meal ideas are the easiest to prepare. You just need the
right information and ingredients to get things underway. Below, you will find
a couple of suggestions to get those taste buds tingling.
Bird’s nest soup
Everyone loves tucking into a bowl of soup at the beginning of the
evening. It’s probably one of the most popular starters in the world. However,
there’s no need to stick with tradition my serving tomato or pumpkin recipes.
You could try something entirely different if you’re feeling brave and you want
to wow your friends. Bird’s nest soup is a staple for many people living in
South-East Asia - maybe your group would like it too? You just need to buy edible bird nest ingredients from specialist retailers. Don’t worry
too much if you don’t have any Asian food stores in your hometown because there
are plenty of online sellers you can use.
Frog’s legs
Believe it or not, there is nothing in the rule book that says only
French people can enjoy frog’s or toad’s legs. However, many people cringe at the
idea of putting something like that in their mouths. That’s a shame because
they taste pretty fantastic. That is especially true if you cook them at home in your deep fat fryer with batter.
Again, there are many different recipes online that you could follow. Just do
yourself a favour and try out various methods before the big day. The chances
are you will find a cooking and seasoning process that suits everyone’s tastes.
Also, if you’re worried about where to purchase frog’s legs, there is no need
to stress. Once again, there are plenty of online retailers who will deliver
the product to your home.
Jalapeno ice cream
If you like the idea of surprising your guests with something hot and
exciting, you need to consider this dish. Jalapeno ice cream certainly isn’t for everyone, but it’s
very popular with people who enjoy the heat. Just ensure you make everyone
aware of the contents of the ice cream before you serve. The last thing you
need is for someone to have a panic attack and beg for milk the moment they
take a mouthful. With that in mind, it’s wise to prepare some plain ice cream
too for anyone who doesn’t enjoy jalapenos (yes, those people do exist).
At least one of those ideas should seem appealing for your next big
dinner party. Maybe you could start a new trend that your friends will follow
too? If you pull it off, you might have some surprising food in store the next
time you visit one of their houses. Unusual food helps to make the evening more
enjoyable, and everyone will applaud your efforts. So, start making your plan
today!
