Global Board Night Ideas
A fun, interactive culinary experience where guests bring or share dishes representing diverse international cuisines, creating a vibrant spread of global flavors.
Ingredients
- Garlic cloves minced for tzatziki
- Fresh dill chopped for tzatziki
- Pita bread warmed cut into wedges
- Scallions sliced for garnish
- Salami assorted thinly sliced
Instructions
- Step 1: Choose a theme or let guests pick countries. Communicate clearly what each person should bring to avoid overlaps and ensure diversity. Plan your own board contribution in advance.
- Step 2: Prepare your designated country's contribution. For Greek, assemble tzatziki by mixing yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill. Arrange feta, olives, and pita on a platter.
- Step 3: If making Chinese, cook spring rolls and dumplings according to package directions. Arrange with dipping sauces and sliced scallions.
- Step 4: For Italian, artfully arrange prosciutto, salami, cheeses, tomatoes, and basil on a board. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve with bread.
- Step 5: On the night of the event, set up a large central table. Arrange all the different country boards/dishes, ensuring clear labels for each cuisine. Provide small plates and utensils.
- Step 6: Encourage guests to mingle and sample the global array of flavors. Enjoy the culinary journey and cultural exchange!
Notes
Encourage guests to pick a country and bring one or two signature dishes or components for the board. Provide a diverse selection of small plates, toothpicks, and napkins. Label dishes with country names for an educational touch. Adjust prep/cook times based on whether ingredients are homemade or store-bought.
