MA people - Market Basket Deli sandwiches

[countthestars]

DD's birthday party is this weekend and we haven't even decided on food yet.

H is convinced we should serve wraps. Fine. I don't really care except that we can't really find anywhere near here that will make wraps for us - except Market Basket. Do you think Market Basket's quality is okay for their deli sandwiches/wraps? In addition to really wanting wraps, H is pushing back on MB because he thinks they "will be gross".




Also someone please give me the patience I need to get through this week with him. He is the worst party planner ever - lots of very specific ideas, very little help in actually executing them.

I can't say I've had the party platters but I've eaten in their store cafe and the food is fine. Nothing special, but it's not gross.

Do you have Hannaford's or Roche Bros near you? Or maybe Lamberts or a small deli defending where you are. Market Basket may let you specify meat brands. While I shop at MB I've never gotten deli meat there. Our YMCA gets party subs from Walmart and they aren't bad at all.

DH is the same, except he would be telling me these grand ideas on Friday.

Apparently Hannaford doesn't do wraps - only finger sandwiches or assemble your own sandwich deli platters! I could check Walmart too!

I can't speak to MB specifically but wraps in general tend to get rather soggy as party food. Is he adamant about wraps?

Do you have a Costco? They have a really good turkey and cheese wrap tray.

Do you have S&S, or maybe that's only CT...went to a party recently, they had good wraps from there. And chicken tenders.

Never gotten it from MB but we got platters from Stop and Shop and they were good! I'm pretty sure one of them was wraps. Although it was a few years ago. I also know a good place that caters out of Reading called Green Tomatoes if that is close to you. I had lunch there and the food was really good!

BJs? I think they have a party wrap tray.

I got some sandwiches from the deli at the Market Basket in Attleboro when it just opened and they were delicious.

I would prefer a deli tray to pre made wraps, personally.

Wholefoods will be great quality but $$$. Also
We have used Russos in Watertown and they were great.

I didn't know MB did them! I grocery shop there but got wraps for E's party from While Foods. I didn't think the price was that bad.

Oh and I think MB would be fine!

I have had them before. They were fine, my only complaint was they all had things like cheese, pickles etc...so for someone who doesn't like those items I ended up picking them off and the bread was slightly flavored by them. But you can choose what you have them put on them, and mostly likely your guests aren't as picky as me

We have also had platters from panara for work functions that were good, just another option. They also had large salads etc to go with it.

NOM NOM. Load my plate up with MB brand potato salad & Cape Cod chips & pop me open a Moxie and it's a wicked pissah rage-uh!
