Cold Cut Platter-Opinions Needed

I'm having DD's 1st birthday party on Saturday, I opted to do a cold cut platter rather than a hero.

I'm having 27 adults, 6 kids.

What kind of cold cuts would you get? Condiments??

I don't want to go too nuts, but I want to give variety as well. I am not ordering a platter...I am buying the cold cuts I want and making the platter myself!

Any opinions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Cold Cut Platter-Opinions Needed

Are you serving anything else?
A hero would be cheaper, right?

Standards for me...Turkey, salami, roast beef, ham
American, prov, Swiss.

ETA: when I make my own I also roast my own peppers (so easy if you never had & better & cheaper than jarred), olives, peperocinis, pickles.

I also do roasted veggies too (asparagus, zucchini, eggplant, onion, mushrooms)

Mustard, mayo, oil/vinegar

Ah, yes. I am having Sausage and peppers, eggplant parm, baked ziti, chicken wings and salads!

I decided to do a cold cut platter because a lot of the family parties we've been to lately have all been heros! I love hero, but I wanted something slightly different!!

Re: Cold Cut Platter-Opinions Needed

when we have parties I order from ben's and get a cold cut platter with turkey, roast beef, corned beef and pastrami and then it comes with mustard and russian dressing, cole slaw, macaroni or potato salad.

Re: Cold Cut Platter-Opinions Needed

My standards are turkey, ham, salami, roast beef and bologna. Then I have American, Swiss and provolone cheese.

Condiments I like to have mustard, mayo, oil & vinegar, horseradish sauce (for the Roast beef...I like the Boars Head one), lettuce, tomato, and pickles.

Re: Cold Cut Platter-Opinions Needed

Cold Cut Platter Essentials in my opinion include Turkey, Ham and Salami. With Cheese: Provolone, Swiss and PepperJack.

Additional Items: Pickles!!!! lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, mayo, mustard, some sort of spicy sauce option.
