Popular 1960s foods can inspire your '60s theme party.
Whether you enjoyed the decade firsthand or simply love the idea of the "swinging sixties," a 1960s party theme can be used for a variety of celebrations. Channeling the decade's most delectable dishes allows for a nostalgic '60s theme party menu.
Deviled Eggs
A tray of carefully arranged deviled eggs serves as a quick and easy 1960s appetizer. Once the eggs are hard boiled, the yolks simply need to be scooped out and mixed with mayonnaise and mustard before returning the creamy filling to the hollow of the egg white. For a bit of variety, tuna can be added to the filling.
Shrimp Cocktail
Classic shrimp cocktail takes on an elegant twist when served in plastic martini glasses. These individual shrimp appetizers are created by filling the bottom of a martini glass with cocktail sauce and curling shrimp around the edge of the glass.
Pigs-in-a-Blanket
Whether you make your own or buy them pre-made, pigs-in-a-blanket are a quintessential appetizer from the 1960s. Consisting of just cocktail wieners wrapped in crescent-shaped rolls, the dish is simple to make and eat.
