With only a couple of weeks until our gorgeous girls turn 1 we had an peacock themed early birthday tea party today ‘Up country’ (when you’re Cornish this defines anywhere north of the Tamar River 😋).
Platter 1:
1/2 a pear cut into slices for the body
Quartered grapes and blueberries for the tail
Blueberry bits for the beak and eyes
Platter 2:
Cucumber for the body
Slices of mozzarella topped with slices of tomatoes and 1/2 a small black olive each and a leaf of basil for the tail feathers
Platter 3:
Avocado for the body with olive legs, beak and eyes
Slices of steamed courgette topped with cottage cheese and quarter of a cherry tomato each for the tail feathers.
Platter 4:
Sliced pear for the body
Slices of kiwi fruit topped with half of a quartered blueberry and a slice of strawberry each for the tail feathers.
All served with some sweet potato wedges (par boiled then baked in the oven with a little olive oil and a sprinkle of Italian herbs) and pitta bread fingers.
These were enjoyed by all ages. In fact I liked the savoury combinations so much that I will make them again as canapés or snacks 😍
