Foodie Stuff Fit For a King – Yarra Valley Preserves King’s Birthday Party Food
Once a King always a king…. I can’t remember the next line, but you probably get my drift.
Firstly, I don’t know about you, but I’m struggling to say King’s Birthday Weekend instead of Queen’s Birthday Weekend.
But then, that doesn’t mean I won’t be having a gathering of friends with lots of fab King’s Birthday Party Food.
I own a food factory afterall
– it’s expected!!!
AND…
For one, it’s darn cold in the Yarra Valley, Australia, in winter as the snow falls close by onto Mount Donna Buang. That works as a good excuse to eat to keep warm.
For two, it’s nice to curl up by a fire with a noice cordial, mulled spicy drink or an Espresso Martini – with a platter of Yarra Valley Preserves Chutney, Relish, Mad Dog Chilli Jam and Piccalilli Pickles – with cheese and bickies of course.
For three, it’s a bit crowded, but you can still have a foodie menage a troi of sorts (unlike the traditional type – that we won’t go into). I’ll leave all that alone and just let you use your imagination on that one.
For Four, you could plan a dinner party and serve up a gorgeous slow-roasted beef, basted with our new Saltbush & Black Garlic Mustard, served with a fresh lettuce mix sprinkled with a Balsamic Salad Splash, a side-serve of crunchy chips and Mountain Pepper Tomato Ketchup (that’s Aussie for posh tomato sauce), and end the night with an Apple Daiquiri Dessert featuring our yummy Apple Sauce with a hint of cinnamon.
For (after) Five, you could wear something flash or your birthday suit (like leave your hat on – or don a tie at least) and break out some fresh King Prawns (for the King’s birthday – get it?) with our tangy Seafood Sauce, or cook a whole King Fish (I’m on a roll).
For (after) Six – you can get a little flushed by tucking into some Hot and Spicy Mad Dog Xtra Bite Spicy BBQ Sauce on a Hot Dog or a sausage in bread – and no, I am not a Kiwi with one of those funny accents, so don’t feel I’m alluding to something naughty 🙂
For Seven, it’s about time to serve up the horses douvers (I make no apology for the spelling) – maybe some croutons with Caramelised Balsamic Onions and fetta, some corn chips with Mad Dog Chilli Salsa and a sprinkle of shaved parmesan, or some lamb koftas dipped in 
Tomato Relish.
For Eight, it’s a great time for the main course – featuring Stir Fry Vegetables with Wok Toss, Chicken Wings with Sticky Glaze and our Black Garlic & Wild Thyme Worstershire Sauce as a shellfish or poultry marinade.
And for nine – maybe add some vodka to your Pine Lime Cordial, watch a movie on Netflix and just have a snooze!
I reckon that little checklist is a ten out of ten.
