after the enormous success of my eurovision night last year we've desided thats what our house warming is going to be this time but i want to make it more themed than "lets watch eurovision, take the mick and get drunk!!"

i am going to make food, so can anyone make suggestions (i am desperate for filling recipes for pierogi if anyone likes their polish food?) and suggestions of other european food?

also i have a map and was thinking we could do our own scoring- suggestions for silly categories?

I used to have Eurovision parties - lol.  Food wise the choice is endless - just party food or proper grub?  If finger food then sausages cover most euro nations, you could do a baklava for dessert (Greece, Turkey, most of the Balkans), ice cream (Italy), Chocolate (Belgium) etc.  A cheese from every nation might work with the wine from all of 'em of course :D

For categories you have to have a Best/Worst dressed one!  Best dramatic interpretation, Best Hairstyle, Most Political Scoring Country (difficult one that).  You could do a sweep on the winner, if you have enough people to cover all the countries with a prize of the naffest sourvenir from one of the competitors. 

I'm getting all excited now! :D

top ideas :D i particularly like "most dramatic interpretation"

for food i was thinking baklava (oh i love them so!), cheeses, pate, biscuits, olives, yorkshire puds, garlic bread, black bread, i might do meatballs and jam and pierogies- i've a polish friend who says he will be so impressed if i can make these. i really need filling ideas though!

i do have a top notch italian ice cream recipe actually...

Here are some ideas for fillings.. Never heard of them before but they sound lovely..

yeah they look yum! ta for that

sounds like fun, I like the idea of a cheese from each nation. Don't forget a tapas dish for spain, yum yum paella!

oh, good plan
