I'm having a house warming/birthday party BBQ and wondering what type of food to have for the buffet?

fatening kind

Use savoury finger snacks like mini sausage rolls,quiche's, chilli bites, chicken wings, peanuts, spring rolls etc. Savoury snacks are more "filling" so your guests will eat less thus making it go a lot further without putting you out of pocket. And make everything small bite sizes, the more times you put food in your mouth the more your brain tells you that you're getting full.

A great idea is to have a theme, my dad did a greek themed buffet which was amazing!! just bought lots of pita breads and humus and tzatziki for dipping. There was a giant greek salad, some filo pastry rolls filled with spinach and feta with pine nuts, he also made a huge amount of lamb and apricot pialu rice which went down a treat!! you can also buy a selection of traditional greek desserts such as baklava :) hope this helps!!

this salad always goes over big, and since it has not mayo, can sit out all day. Thai Salad 2 packages Ramen noodles – crushed – do not use seasoning packet ½ cup sunflower seeds ½ cup slivered almonds ½ cup (I stick) butter/margarine Saute all above until golden, set aside to cool Chop 1 head Napa cabbage Chop 1 bunch green onions Dressing: Mix together: 1 cup oil 1 cup sugar ½ cup white vinegar 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon garlic powder Combine all ingredients just before serving

Fingerfood! lil smokies, pigs in a blanket, chips & dip, subway has giant subs... and!!! have all the guests bring one dish of their choice for a variety!
