Mangia Monday: British Invasion!

Take Your Wedding Menu Inspiration from Across the Pond!

The outstanding blog of Authentic Flavors Catering claims that while we love local food, one of the coming year’s big catering trends is to take inspiration from some British favorites.

  • Bangers and Mash: This mainstay meal of sausage and mashed potatoes, can be given a gourmet twist. Locally reared sausages and fabulous root vegetables can make this a worthy wedding menu item.
  • Fish and Chips: For a main meal or a cocktail hour, battered cod and fries are a delicious treat. You can serve them in the traditional newspaper cone for a fun hors d’oeuvre.
  • Pies: Another hearty menu option is pie. Steak and ale or chicken and leek pies can be served with a flaky pastry crust. Other pies, such as fish pie or cottage pie replace the pastry with creamy mashed potatoes.
