Before I even start sharing with you food ideas that people share with us for bonfire night – let me tell you a little story of one bonfire night at me.
This was before Jamies was born and Oli and Tom were about 6 and 4 and I decided to invite both their classes over for bonfire night. – Daft? yes! Especially when it started raining and we had 50 people inside while the dads were outside under umbrellas tring to light the fireworks. We didnt have any problem with the fireworks – it was the tomato soup. One of the mums (who shall remain nameless) spilt hot soup over a few kids while passing it over their heads to the dads. Needless to say my days of big firework parties are over.
We either go to a local organised do, or do something very small at home with 2 or 3 other families. Either way if we are out or in – when we get back we start with Mulled wine.
Mulled wine
We always serve soup either pumpkin soup or tomato soup and then its either burgers and hot dogs and for the adults warming bowl food. The most popular amongst our members seem to be chilli, curry or winter stews.
baked apples
We have asked people if there are favourite desserts that people serve on bonfire night and again it is ususally warming desserts like baked apples, hot apple crumble or using up the halloween pumpkins with pumpkin pie.
