A Classic Woodstock Party With 70s Menu Party Favors

A party at Woodstock is a great way to introduce your guests to hippie days, the meaning of protest music, and of course some delicious’ 70s favorites. Those were the days of casseroles and pop rocks. Your Woodstock guests better come on an empty stomach.

You can start your Woodstock buffet with some very healthy hippie food favorites, like your own homemade granola or brown rice and tofu. However, not all guests will accept it, so it’s time to look for more classic ’70s dishes. Some common appetizers were deviled eggs, stuffed celery, and popcorn. You can also find some Bugles and Fritos for guests to nibble on. Salad bars were quite popular in the 1970s, so pair a little salad mix with dressings like the classics, sunflower seeds, alfalfa sprouts, and avocado. Popular dressings in the ’70s were French dressing, Russian dressing, and Ranch. Continue the classic Woodstock party with Monte Cristo Sandwiches and a tasty cheese fondue. The dessert is the traditional jelly mold with pieces of fruit.

Monte Cristo Sandwiches

You will need the following items for the entrée at your Woodstock party: 2/3 c. water, 1 sm. Egg, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. white pepper, 1/8 tsp. yellow food coloring, 2/3 c. all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 tsp. baking powder, 8 slices of white bread, 4 slices of turkey (1 oz), 4 slices of Swiss cheese (1 oz), 4 slices of ham (1 oz), oil for frying and powdered sugar.

You can start your tasty sandwich for your Woodstock party by mixing the batter. Put water, egg, salt, pepper, and food coloring in a bowl. Mix well. Add flour and baking powder while mixing until dough is smooth. Cool.

Use the bread, turkey, Swiss cheese, and ham to make four sandwiches. Make sure to place the cheese between the ham and the turkey. Cut into quarters and place a toothpick in each quarter.

Heat about 6 inches of oil to 340 degrees in a deep fryer. Dip sandwiches into batter to coat all surfaces. Fry the sandwiches until golden brown. Remove from the oil. Take out toothpicks. Sprinkle with sugar.

The Monte Cristo sandwich is a very tasty treat for your Woodstock party, but it is quite good with a current sauce. You definitely might want to balance this with a lighter salad bar.
