Evangelism with food is now very much part of the life of the local church. It used to be coffee mornings, but now, if you want to lever stressed and depressed commuters our of their TV goggling in the evening to come and hear the gospel, the least you can offer (apart from a good speaker) is a decent buffet.
I put in the word 'decent' because it might just be all right to present offerings with lookalike entries for 'The World's Strangest Flan' competition when it is an in-house fellowship affair, but such efforts might insult the sensitivities of your average member of Delia Smith's dining club - which, let's face it, must be 50% of the population. The offence of the cross is one thing, food poisoning is another!
