Teenagers' Party!

[Barmaid]

Help, I have around 20 teenagers descending at the weekend for a 13th birthday party. I need a few inspirational ideas on what to feed them.

I was thinking of doing a barbeque for mains - other than the ubiquitous burgers and sausages - is there anything that teenagers might like?

What about dessert? I was thinking chocolate brownie, millionaires shortbreads and ice creams.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Unfortunately, every suggestion I put to birthday girl results in a shrug of the shoulders and a curl of the lip. She is a fussy madam, so I am hoping not all teenagers are the same............

BarmaId! jack daniels has done well, I didn't think of Argos, but you can get a Chocolate Fountain at your local store, stock permitting, for under £25!..............bargain!...............

my kids love bananas stuffed with choc too.
Are you near a cadbury shop or oulet? I bought a chocolate fondue thingy for 12.99 and the kids love it.
Or you could melt some chocolate the day before, half dip stramberries, grapes, pineapple and marshmallows, and then leave to set in fridge.
You could make fruit kebabs.

Ice cream parlour... about 5 different flavours, sauces, sprinkles, choc flakes and matchmakers to stick in cones and plastic sundae dishes and those little sparklers you get for cakes etc. regularly do this for barbecue parties also with some syrups and icecream thick milkshakes

You can also get a fountain for your non alcoholic cocktail just need to keep topping it up,, also keep checking any fruit punch for illegal additions even at thirteen there is a good chance that some parents drinks cabinet will be raided

Thank you all so much. Argos have a chocolate fountain in stock so I reckon that is "dessert".

As for any illegal alcohol, that will be confiscated (and possibly consumed by me), God knows after this lot I shall need a pick me up!!!

barmaid, you have to get p!ssed it will be the only way to get through it, i was made to go to a 13th party (it still makes me cry now...)

buy a selection of food, give it to them and tell them its a do - it -yourself party and sit quietly in the corner sipping from a mug of "tea"
