I knew it was going to happen at some point. My girlfriend made a light joke about us getting married. Rather than the stereotypical male response of leaving the room or changing the subject, I had one thought. What would we serve at the reception?
That makes me think of a country farm style wedding on picnic tables and a hootenanny in the barn once the ceremony was over. Nothing like down home farm cooking.
I know shrimp cocktail is played out, but I still like it. It could easily be replaced with a shrimp civeche.
I would also like an Asian themed flaming hibachi style setup as seen in some Japanese restaurants. Some folks don't know how to use chopsticks, however a set of His and Hers for the bride and groom would be kind of interesting.
The first time I heard of the baked potato bar, I thought it would be interesting. Unfortunately, with all the fixings I would pile on my baked potato I can imagine my mother screaming at me from across the room with a look of horror on her face. Some meals aren't meant for social gatherings.
In this MSNBC story, they talk about 10 wedding food cliches and how to avoid them. What is a twist or a new idea you would have for a wedding reception?
