Have friends from all corners of the political arena? Well you’d better have the proper foods for each end. There is a general trend in the preferred foods of people in each group. I believe this is due to the tastes that have evolved in each group over time.
To your Left: Chicken, Assorted Vegetables, Tortellini, Caesar Salad, Spinach Dip, Vanilla Cake, Small Pastries, Decaf Coffee and Latte.
To your Right: Steak, Potatoes, Lasagna, Chef Salad, Stuffed Mushrooms, Chocolate Cake, Pie, Columbian and Espresso Coffee.
If you like, you can take a little from each list and I guarantee that everyone in your circle will be pleased or reasonably satisfied even if the conversation turns to the big P. Holding your gathering outside may be something to look in to, especially for guests with very strong feelings on the events of the day. The cool breeze reminds everyone that they are there to have some fun. I have noticed recently that politics is becoming a very big part of the conversation at most gatherings. I strongly recommend that as host, you stay out of it and focus on your objective (to throw a great bash) and most of all; keep a sense of humor.
