Hi :)

I'm organising a buffet for a wake and would like some food there that I can eat, and my uncle is also T2. I low carb, and I think that my uncle follows the NHS's advice, as last time i saw him he was telling me that I can eat what I like, so long as i have it in moderation.

I've asked for chicken wings, cocktail sausages & cold meats, but is there anything else (easy finger food) I could ask for? I doubt that I'll want to eat vegetable sticks. I dont usually want to eat them normally lol. I'm ok preparing my meals but when it comes to buffet/finger food i'm a bit stumped. I witght ask for some wraps, cut up into slices as well as sandwiches as they will be filling and feel like you're eating a decent amount for the 'cost' of one wrap.

I can't take the mick either cost or preparation wise as the pub we're holding it in have said they will do the food for free.

Thank you :)

Thats what I thought, I cant be doing with salad after hanging about outside etc so I think i'll just stick with the kebab shop a few shops along. If i eat a shish as soon as i get there, hopefully i wont be tempted to nick things from the buffet :oops:

yeah, i could make them myself and take them with me (so i know its gonna be decent ham - i cant stomach ham with gristle in it). I suppose its gonna be packed lunch or chicken shish for me. Packed lunch will be better as i'll have things to eat throughout the day if needed, its gonna be a long day and i'll be there for the whole thing, we'll be last to leave as its our 'do'.
