A good friend of mine and her Jamacian fiance are coming to dinner tomorrow. So I thought we'd have a menu with a bit of tropical flair. Here's what I have planned and I'd love to hear any and all your suggestions:
James is making tropical rum drinks (I dunno what's in them but they're good hic)
Mushroom Croustades with spinach and a pinch of cayenne
Tropical Salad: Romaine leaves, crisp bacon bits, chilled diced canned tropical fruit mix and a dressing of white wine vinegear and a bit of the fruit syrup. May dot this with gorganzola crumbs (too much y'think?)
Caribbean Glazed Ham, Mango chutney, Jamacian Cole Slaw and sweet potatoes and peas in rice.
Peach pie for dessert.
What'd you guys think, sound balanced? Should I change anything?
