An important part of any party is the food. What you serve really depends upon what time the party is on till. Are you serving lunch or dinner? Either way, don’t forget to provide your guests with some fabulous train party food at this celebration. Remember, that you will want to use paper plates and napkins to save on the clean-up time later. If you really want to make an impression on the theme then get Train themed paper plates and napkins. You can often save money by buying a Train Party Pack which includes decorations and tableware!
Sandwich Train
Build a sub sandwich train with a sub sandwich bun and favorite cold cut toppings like meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato. Cut the sub into slider sized sandwiches, add a few Ritz cracker wheels and display the sandwich on a platter; use some toothpicks to link the train cars together. For a variation, build a pizza sub with sauce, cheese and pepperoni and display it the same way. Be sure to offer a variety of meat and non-meat selections for your vegetarian guests and finicky eaters.
Choo-choo Cheese Dish
For a hot food choice, make your own choo-choo and cheese dish (like macaroni and cheese, but with choo choo wheel pasta). Cook the pasta according to the package, mix with Velveeta cheese and any other kind of shredded cheese you like. Add some hot dog circle slices to make it wheely fun for young guests. Choo-choo wheels can be used in any type of cold pasta salad as well – just add grape tomatoes, cheese chunks, diced cucumber, and your favorite salad dressing.
Drinks
To drink, children might enjoy a themed drink like toot-toot beer (rootbeer) floats, or toot-toot fruit drink boxes. For a healthier option, try milk Chug individual sized shakes. Chug-a-chug-a, choo-choo - Yum!
