I have done the Lord's work and sampled an obscene amount of Party Food, all in the name of research for next year of course 
Halloumi Fries - All I could taste was the breadcrumbs, wouldn't buy again
Brie & Cranberry Tartlets - Gorgeous!
Tempura Prawns (Frozen) - Lovely, came out the oven nice and crispy which oven cooked tempura often doesn't, very impressed
Camembert Wedges - Was really looking forward to these, but like the halloumi I found the breadcrumbs over powering, texture wasn't as nice as the McDonalds ones either!
Cheesy Profiteroles - SO GOOD! The person who compared them to melted Laughing Cow isn't wrong but we absolutely loved them, gooey deliciousness
Sticky Asian Style Chicken Lollipops - I absolutely hated the texture of these, I can only describe as like a chicken meatball
I know these are a fan fave though, they were a bit too spicy for me also
Burger Spring Rolls - Pleasingly similar to the Disney version, and our dipping sauce was fine. These rated highly until...
Duck Spring Rolls - Probably the overall winner, and not something we would usually try. Only picked them up because some of you had mentioned them so thank you! Next year we'll not bother with burger ones but still get these, too samey to have both.
Mini Chicken Kievs - Loved these last year, didn't think they fit as a buffet choice overall as best eaten straight out the oven, would have as part of a meal though
Pork Belly Bites - A fave of OH, delicious.
Yakatori Chicken Kebabs - Love that these are thigh meat, so tender and delicious. Very filling though so would prefer for a barbecue.
Chicken Tikki Naans - Very spicy! Liked the idea of these but wasn't wild about texture of the pulled chicken as well as the spicy. Naan was nice though!
Mini Battered Sausages - Awful! Actually wanted to spit it out, I don't know if it was the curry sauce or the actual sausage but very vinegar-y after taste.
Potato Skins - Tasty and cooked well, nice to have something a little more 'normal' as quite an indulgent selection
Spicy Beef Empanadas - Tasted like little mini tacos without the mess, really liked them
Mini Beef Wellingtons - Really good, even fusspot OH loved them. Mimicked taste of real thing well.
Mini Salmon Encroute - These beat the Beef Wellingtons, salmon was very tender.
Posh Profiteroles - Didn't blow me away but I'm a fresh whipped cream lover, a good option for a buffet dessert that won't take up too much space in the freezer
Cornish Cruncher and Cider Bake - Sent from the Gods, could eat it every day of my life
And finally, the one you all want to know about...
Posh Cheesy Beans on Toast - Let me preface this by saying, I would NEVER, and I mean NEVER, eat beans on toast; I am one of those weird folk with an aversion to things touching on the plate. But after all the negative press, I loved these, and if they are back again next year I'll pay the ridiculous price tag again.
Everything had been bought back in November time and frozen and all came out the oven really well, was very impressed.
And, yes we will be consuming leftover party food until approx. January 2023
