White Party Suggestions, Please!

[Haven]

I''m going to throw a white party in my home for all of my girlfriends so we can put on our wedding dresses one more time and not worry that they''ll get stained!

Anyone have good suggestions for white food to serve? Appetizers seem to be easy--cheese, popcorn, white wine, but what about real food that is white, and delicious?

Thanks for your help!

Great idea!!

You could do white cheese fondue, vanilla bean creme brule, white asparagus, rice krispie treats, white sangria, chicken, alfredo sauced pasta, white chocolate ice cream, etc.

I''ll see if I can think of other stuff!!

Yum!

How about Coquilles St. Jacques a la Parisienne? [scallops in white wine sauce]. Served with a nice Champagne or sparkling wine and a crusty French bread.

Or you could do a Cod or Sole Meuniere [fish is dredged, sauteed topped with melted butter and lemon].

Or a Chicken with Cream Sauce. I make this with white vermouth instead of port [Julia Child recipe].

For dessert you could do a banana split with vanilla ice cream, white chocolate fudge sauce, etc. and a lychee nut on top.

ETA Hmmmm . . . I must be hungry!

 

[musey]

Oh, you are all making me hungry!!!!!!!!!!!

OOhhh some of those sound delicious!!! I''m hungry all of a sudden!

 

[mayachel]

Love the idea Haven, how about an almond and chickpea gazpacho. It is especially good with a dollop of ikura, if that''s your thing.

Ooh and white fish sushi could be pretty and delicious!

 

[Haven]

Oh my, these suggestions are all fabulous! And mouthwatering. I''m so excited to try everything over the next few weeks and put a menu together.

Now I''m really excited to have this party! Can you imagine the pictures--a bunch of women running around in their wedding gowns? Eeeh! I can''t wait.

I suppose I''ll have to paint the pets white, too, huh?

Don''t forget the Legal Seafoods New England Clam Chowder.

Volevants (sp?!) I used to love it when my Mum had parties when I was young, I used to eat mountains of these things! They are lovely flaky pastry cases, with ham and chicken in white sauce inside - so good!!!!!!!!

 

[CaliCushion]

What about an endive salad with white asparagus and shaved parmesan or pear?

White pizza

Crepes (possibly with bananas flambee or white chocolate sauce)

Rice Krispy ''popsicles'' (on a stick, covered in white chocolate. Can also be dipped in white sprinkles! If you don''t want to make rice krispies, you can just skewer a marshmallow, dip in white chocolate, and coat in sprinkles.)

Roasted cauliflower or white asparagus

Cheese blintzes

Risotto with mushrooms and/or parmesan

shrimp and grits

shrimp and/or chicken satay

white bean bruscetta

Those are the ideas off the top of my head!

you could also have pasta carbonara, chicken or white fish with butter bean mash made with olive oil, cauliflower puree and dauphinois potatoes and for pudding, don''t forget that cheesecake is mainly white, especially if it''s a white chocolate one

. or blanquette of veal made with rose veal (more humane), leeks, celery and cream served with a parsnip / potato gratin...

as an aside, my masters psychology dissertation looked at cognitive processes of creative people and there''s this standardised questionnaire that asks respondents to name as many white foods as they can...needless to say, the creative people came up with some interesting ones including, I seem to recall, chalk. Yes, I guess that''s technically a food (certainly calcium packed) but maybe not for your party, eh?

What about marshmallows with white chocolate fondue? (I know that''s dessert, but that''s my favourite part of the meal so it came to mind first.)

Tilapia with olive oil and a sprinkle of lemon juice could be good.
Hummus is kind of off-white, but in that general colour range.
Baked potatoes and sour cream?

Sounds so fun! I would love to do this with my friends, but I don''t really have anyone nearby, so I can live vicaroiusly through you!!!

 

[Haven]

Ha ha ha, Blu! I''ll have to order that!

These suggestions are so wonderful, everyone, thank you! I just promised a friend of mine that I''ll wait until after her March wedding to throw the party so she can attend, so now I have a lot of time to plan!

All of these delicious white foods are getting me super excited to plan this party!

trinity--Chalk, huh? That sounds like a creative person, indeed. Well, a creative *eater* in the very least . . .
