a simple sixties party ..........for your entertainment >>>

 

 

and there's even a piccy

ritz crackers were the order of the dat by the sound of it !!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

They did have things like Cheddar cheese on ritz crackers or water biscuits and sometimes with a bit of gherkin on top of the cheese.

Small sausage rolls,

Fondue savory with vegetables or meat to dip .

Quiches were in then too.

Nuts, crisps (ready without  or with salt (remember those little blue packs of salt? ) and some plain olives.

Pickles of various kinds.

Vol o Vents with eggy or tuna  stuffing

Cold Sliced cooked meats including tongue

Mixed salads

Melba toast with various toppings

Then there was the obligatory  centre piece which consisted of cheese and pineapple chunks on cocktail sticks stuck into either a Half melon turned over onto its flat side or big fat potato which was covered in tin foil hahaaaaaaa then you stick the cocktail sticks into this to make a something that  resembles a demented hedgehog.

IN fact 90% of the food was finger food in the 60s .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drinks around the 60s were thingslike VCinzano, Babycham, Snowball (made with advocaat) Cherry B , Harverys Bristol Cream Sherry,  anything and tonic There were not many tinned lagers in those days but you could but those big tins of beer or lager which held about 6 pints or the like.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Puddings were Lemon Meringue Pie, Pavlova, Chocolate  Fondue  with pieces of fruit to dip, Mixed fruit salad with ice cream and wafers,

hope this helps
