70's Fondue Party
By: highpriestess Date: September 15, 2018, 8:03 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I'm throwing a "70's" Fondue Party in early October. I need to
keep it fairly cheap but wanted to reach out to see if people
had ideas.
I don't need to have it be super authentically 70's. More like
take food/entertainment from that era and modernize it as
needed. Also I won't have only fondue. Just a couple of those
and some other food stuffs. Everyone will be over 21 so this
is definatly a grown up party with alcohol.
I feel I have too much food but I do like variety and I have
some pickey eaters. I can bring leftovers to another party the
next day.
Here is what I have so far:
Food: Suggestions welcome to specfic recipes if you have them
Pizza Fondue
Cheese Fondue (Cheese is my favorite so I could do a couple of
different versions.)
Chocolate Fondue
Caramel Fondue
Meatballs
Pigs in Blankies
Pickle Tray
Mini Quiche
Deviled Eggs
Watergate or Ambroisa Salad
Assorted fondue dippers
Drink:
Beer, Champagne, alcoholic punch
Entertainment:
Twister
Tarot Cards
Decor: I have no idea but this is where I will probably be
cheapest
I was just a little one in the 70's! I can't remember any of it!
Help!

You didn’t mention specific dippers. You do need pineapple,
strawberries, apple slices, marshmallows, Hawaiian bread and
angel food cake if you are having all those dips. Nuts ( half
walnuts ) are good.
Be sure to have about 5 times the amount of napkins you think
you need. 😀
You don’t really need much special decor. We never did.

What is pizza fondue?
You mentioned being a child in the 70's and twister . . . what
about some other childhood games like pin the tail on the
donkey?

To me 1970s party food has to involve a cheese and pineapple
hedgehog (actually according to google this may be a british
thing but still that screams 70s to me)

Besides the bread served as dippers for cheese fondue we present
ham, lightly steamed broccoli or cauliflower and apple slices.
If you can find a recipe for pineapple upside-down cake, that
would be a real taste of the 1970s fondue era.
You certainly must have a bowl of Chex mix for snacking. We
call that Purina Bar Chow.
Back then, I was in my early 20s and attended several fondue
parties. I don’t remember much about games. Mostly, we just
sat around and gabbed. Decorations were also optional.
Recently, we had a fondue on vacation. Cut pieces of soft
pretzels and cocktail onions were on the tray. These were
interesting additions.

For decorations you could do an online search of seventies party
decorations. Big box party supply stores probably have disco
type stuff on hand.

Random thoughts that came into my head when I saw the title of
the thread:
Watergate salad, Rubik's cube, Soul Train, the hustle, the bump,
and a cocktail called a grasshopper. A '70's trivia game would
be fun.
It sounds like a great party!

May I ask what Watergate Salad is? I have never heard of it.

Thanks all!
I had never heard of Watergate salad either but I found it in my
research

Pizza Fondue is really just pizza dip.

adventerous otherwise
I did see the pineapple hedgehog too! I will probably do that if
I can find a pineapple around here. And napkins will definatly
be there.

Watergate Salad is amazing! I make it, and my whole family
loves it. It's really more of a dessert than a typical salad.
