Conquering Costco Canada: A Guide to Platter Perfection for Parties That Don't Suck
So, you're throwing a party. You've envisioned the laughter, the merriment, the people spilling red wine on your favourite rug (inevitable). But then there's the food. The dreaded question: how much dip will 30 people consume in one sitting? Fear not, my fellow party people, for Costco Canada has entered the chat, draped in a giant sheet cake and wielding a rotisserie chicken like a golden scepter.
Why Costco Canada Platters? They're the MVP (Most Valuable Party Food)
- Feeding an army? Costco portions are legendary. One platter could feed a small village (disclaimer: don't actually feed a small village without checking their dietary restrictions).
- Your wallet will thank you. Sure, that designer cheese platter looks fancy, but it costs more than your rent. Costco platters deliver deliciousness without breaking the bank.
- Variety is the spice of life (and parties)! From veggie trays to mountains of mini quiches, Costco offers a platter to appease every picky eater and cheese enthusiast.
Here's the Lowdown on Ordering those Platters
- There's no online ordering, my friend. Get ready for a thrilling adventure to the land of bulk everything! Head to the deli section (it's like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, but with free samples).
- Ask for the "Party Platter" menu. This mythical document holds the key to platter paradise. Don't be shy – channel your inner hero and ask a friendly Costco employee.
- Prepare to be amazed. This menu is a smorgasbord of deliciousness. Chicken salad croissants? Yes, please! Mini pizzas the size of your head? Sign me up!
- Pro Tip: Take a picture of the menu with your phone. Trust me, you'll be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of food choices.
Now, Let's Talk Tactics: Conquering the Costco Platter Aisle
- Go big, or go home (but maybe not both). Costco portions are generous. Don't be overzealous and end up with enough food to survive a zombie apocalypse.
- Consider dietary restrictions. There are usually veggie and gluten-free options. Nobody wants to be the "gluten ambulance" at the party.
- Think about the flow of your party. Will people be mingling? Do you need finger foods? Or are you planning a sit-down dinner? Costco has options for every party scenario.
Bonus Tip: The Art of Picking Up Your Platters
- Bring a friend. These platters are hefty. You don't want to be that person struggling out of Costco like Sisyphus pushing that boulder uphill (mythological reference, people!).
- Have a cooler. Especially if you have perishable items. Nobody wants lukewarm shrimp cocktail.
By following these simple steps, you'll be a Costco party platter pro in no time. Now go forth and conquer! Just remember, with great food comes great responsibility (i.e., don't eat everything yourself before the party).
