Foreign food

Hi all, need to take a plate of 'foreign food' to Keas (scouts) tonight. Would need to be finger food suitable for 6 to 8yr olds, mostly boys.
Any suggestions? Dont want to spend 2 hours going down to the shops so would need to be quick to make at home.

Mmm, what do they mean exactly by "foreign food"? that could be a difficult one, especially to get 6-8 year olds to eat!

Foreign Food ? It all depends on what one has especially if one not too keen in going to the shops... ...

Some thoughts like Sushi rolls, Sushi squares, Samosas, Spring rolls, actually quite a few but most are quite common here now.

Sometimes on a short notice would go to a place like Chicken Exquisite of Rosebank road and look at various options that are frozen, quite often best and most cost friendly option like noted above plus shrimp or prawn rolls plus other ethnic food items.

Cheers and all the best.

what about frankfurters on long rolls with a selection of tomato sauce, relish etc, and call them american hotdogs, it essentially all they are.

Thanks for your ideas. Does cut up banana rolled in coconut sound foreign? Thought about popcorn but it sounds a little boring.

This will be the hit of the day... no leftovers and no waste of the cook's time fiddling around trying to be ethnically authentic for ravenous 6 to 8 year-olds :)
