VIDEO: Typical for the 1970s
Depending on how old you are, you will probably still remember one or the other highlight on your parents' buffet in the 70s. Ready meals or convenience products were not yet the order of the day, crabs and salmon were hardly available and so it was more typical to conjure up a successful buffet with a funny and appealing presentation of the dishes. Counting calories was not very important in those days, which is why many things were prepared or decorated with mayonnaise.
Typical for the cold and warm buffet
- Stuffed Eggs: Hard boil eggs, cut in half and hollow out. Mix the egg yolk with majo and press it back into the empty egg halves using a pastry syringe. Garnish each filled egg with a few leaves of fresh parsley.
- Mettigel: Season the mince in a bowl with salt and a lot of pepper. Then form an elongated lump out of it. Insert pretzel sticks and put an onion ring around each one.
- Cheese hedgehog: Cut a grapefruit in half and lard it cocktail-Piksern, on each of which you put a cheese cube and a grape or a silver onion on top. Add salted pretzels.
- Ham rolls: Place an asparagus stick in half a slice of cooked ham, roll it up and garnish the rolls with mayonnaise. Is typical for this asparagus to use from the glass.
- Toadstools: Hard-boil eggs, peel them, and cut a flat slice at the bottom to let them stand. Halve small tomatoes, scrape out the seeds and place one half of the tomato on each egg. You can decorate the tomato hats with polka dots - what? - mayonnaise.
