The starter for your buffet

Christmas Meal:A Chic and Cheap Buffet.

Your buffet can mix both traditional and more original dishes. Here is our menu idea...

As a starter, in addition to the traditional assortment of oysters and smoked salmon and verrines of prawns and grapefruit, add a whole cured ham to be cut or a country buffet.

Cutting the ham all together will add conviviality and allow you to reduce the quantities of more expensive dishes such as foie gras.

The dish for your buffet

As a dish, a stuffed turkey served cold with good seasonings will easily satisfy the whole family. You can add homemade chestnut purée, it's not expensive and it's right in the Christmas spirit.

So you offer both quality ingredients, but in lesser quantities. If you prefer to offer a hot dish, you can opt for a rabbit stew with mushrooms and bacon at €2.99 per person.

Here's a money-saving tip:

chic verrines that combine a quality ingredient, salmon, with less expensive ingredients such as fresh goat cheese, enough to save money without skimping on quality.
