Friendship Day is just round the corner and we wouldn’t want you to celebrate it without good food. While some of you may have plans in place, there’s another thing that you could do on this day. Arrange a fun house party where all your friends can relax and chit-chat. To show that you care, prepare these sharing plates that signify the bond with your besties.

Friendship Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August each year, marking the joy and happiness that one associates with friendships. Started in the year 1960 by a man named Joyce Hall, who ran a greeting cards business, the marketing stunt actually became a day to be celebrated each year from then on. Here are some sharing plates that can really strengthen your friendship and show them that you care.  

1.  Rainbow Vegetable Pizza

Since friendship sees a lot of ups and downs and goes through a lot, the colours of the rainbow pizza reflect the same. Pizza is the perfect way to share the love and express your emotions to your dear ones, especially if you let them take the last slice. Easy to eat and sliced into several pieces, pizza is one such dish that gives you a scope of sharing and building that feeling of togetherness. Add your favourite veggies like carrots, capsicum, onions, tomatoes, and more.  

2.  French Fries  

Haven’t you heard of the phrase, fries before guys? It applies here too but the only difference is that the friends come before fries. Sliced potatoes, fried in hot oil and seasoned with herbs and salt, French fries are the perfect way to say that the bond is special. Since they are easy to munch on, you’ll have smoother and longer conversations till that bowl is full and you don’t need to eat in separate plates too.

3.  Mojito Pitcher

We’ve all been to restaurants with our set of friends and when everyone wants the same drink, there’s something for friendship sharing called pitchers. Pitchers are large jars that store concoctions of various kinds. While you can surely take sips from each others’ glass, the real fun is when everyone pours it from the same pitcher. Not only is this a convenient way to drink but also allows you to share the same experience as your friend.

4.  Cheese Fondue

The best way to melt your friends’ hearts is by serving them a creamy cheese fondue. A gooey and melt-in-your-mouth dip, the cheese fondue is then kept in the centre and is surrounded by bits of toasted bread. A perfect snack for parties that is easy to eat and can be shared by one and all, you can also cheers to with the cheese fondue-dipped bread instead of cocktails on this day.

5.  Chocolate Cake

Life isn’t a cakewalk but when you have the right friends by your side, it could be. An indulgent and gooey dessert to mark the celebration, a slice of chocolate cake shared with a friend definitely goes a long way. The thick and chocolate ganache layered in between moist and spongy cake is a great way to end the day on a sweet note.
