Have a BBQ. Good old american food.

Grill veggies, hamburgs and hot dogs[ get all beef ]

Cole slaw. potato salad, mac and cheese as well as a big salad and fresh grilled fruit and ice cream.

Grill fruits as peaches,pineapple and so on.

Or even make a fruit brown betty.serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Yum !

We have a group of friends and every month, one family invites everyone else over and makes food. The problem is that our turn is coming up, so and we have no ides for food.

Our turn is next month and everyone is Indian, apart from one family who are Malaysian (I think). They all like Indian food and don't really like other cuisines, but seeing as it is at my house and I'm sick of eating Indian food, what are some ideas?

There are about 10 teenagers and 10 young children as well as 20 adults approx.

p.s. the food needs to be simple and we've already tried Italian, Mexican, Chinese and bbq, so help!!
