Menu for Watergate Party

Menu 

Appetizers
1. Deviled Eggs
Deviled Eggs
I will be serving Deviled Egg's because finger foods came into immense popularity in the 1970's and the most popular finger food during this time were deviled eggs. 

2. Cheese and Pineapple Hedgehog
Cheese and Pineapple Hedgehog
I will be serving this because it was looked at as a very popular, classy dinner party staple within the 70's, partly due to the 70's rising interest in Hawaii.

Main Dishes
1. Spaghetti Bolognese 
Spaghetti Bolognese
Spaghetti Bolognese became very popular in the UK in the 1970's, and I will serve it at the party to show respect for Peter Morgan who is of British descent. 

2. Quiche Lorraine
Quiche Lorraine
I will service quiche because America went through a quiche fad in the 1970's which started with Quiche Lorraine becoming very popular and then leading to the creation of other different quiche types.

Side Dishes
1. Salad Bar
Salad Bar 
I will have a fresh salad bar because salad bars first appeared in U.S. restaurants in the 1970's and became huge which quickly led to the popularity of the side salad.

2. Three-Cheese Fondue laced with White Wine and served with Bread Cubes
Three Cheese Fondue
I will be serving Cheese Fondue because it spread from Switzerland to America in the 1970's and became a staple dish, commonly served at dinner parties as a sign of class.

Dessert
1. Watergate Salad 
Watergate Salad
In the 1970's Kraft debuted a new "Pistachio Pineapple Delight Pudding" which became very popular. Then, a Chicago Newspaper printed the recipe and dubbed it the "Watergate Salad" and the name stuck. Thus, I will be serving this dish because it was very popular in the 70's and was named after the Watergate scandal.
