Put to the test are three party meals:
- Deli platter
- Pork pies, with a dip, celery and tomatoes
- Mixed party platter of cocktail sausages, half a scotch egg, some honey roast nuts, salmon roules and raw vegetables
The meal that knocked over the most calories was the pork pies at 849 calories. This is equivalent to 7 bite-size Cornish pasties, 18 tiger prawns wrapped in filo pastry or 38 vegetable sushi rolls.
- Pork pies – 849 calories (the pork pies alone account for 726 calories)
- Mixed party platter – 612 calories a serving
- Deli platter – 453 calories
If you like nuts think about some alternatives to honey roast nuts which can be up to 600 calories per 100g:
- Morrison's Luxury Fruit and Nut Collection – 480 calories per 100g
- Sainsbury's Jumbo Cashews, Raspberry & Cranberry mix – 494 calories per 100g
- Asda Trail Mix – 369 calories per 100g
