So...we are having a party. A graduation party for ME!
In light of all of my many, many years in college, I decided I wanted to have a Red Solo Cup Party.
I don't know if this kind of party needs an explanation, but just in case, I will supply one.
When you are a poor college student (like Fred and I were/are for so many years) you attend many parties with kegs of beer, and drink from cheap red plastic cups. The red cup was made iconic by this country song:
You get it right? It's ironic!
Anyhoo...we are going to have a keg of beer and play beer pong and be a little rowdy. Well...at least I am going to be a little rowdy!
Now, here is the debate. What food to serve. The party is at 7 pm. Graduation starts at 2, so we will probably not be home until 5.
When Fred and I were in school (the first time...back when we met) we would attend sorority fundraisers called "Beef and Beer" which was a keg and hot roast beef sandwiches.
I suggested we just call and have pizza delivered.
Fred says I deserve better than that and wants to have catered food brought in from our favorite Mexican restaurant.
Now Fred's idea is a good one since the food will be all done and ready to serve, but it costs the most.
The hot roast beef sandwiches would be cheaper...maybe.
Pizza...well. There's that.
So...if you were going to a college day themed party...what would you serve? Or expect to find?

The thing with those parties for my group was whatever you had you brought! I'm assuming you don't wanna go quite that cheap! Mexican would actually be really good. Goes great with the beer!!!
I am going to make some lights with the cups like they did in the video....
I'd go with Mexican. Sure, there's pizza, but what's special about that? Mexican is like the next step up from Beef & Beer. :-)
The lights are going to be great!
I'd go with Mexican, too. You're celebrating!
This is hilarious. I had never ever heard of red solo cups till yesterday. And now, thanks to you I have the full explanation!
what a deprived childhood you led
I would order pizza to be authentic to my college days, but it sounds like the beef and beer was your authentic fare. On the other hand I LOVE mexican and given the opportunity would chose it- especially if the other party goers did not attend the undergrad days with me.
I'd go with the beef sandwiches.
And probably the Mexican too.
Oh, and the pizza.
Anything else?
Dip.
Sausages always go down well . . .
Kielbasa or Italian?
