Since I ended up not hosting but travelling across London, I wimped out and made Deadly Attack Potato Salad. Very simple: a load of potatoes (I think I had about 20 new potatoes this time), chopped into roughly half-inch blocks and then boiled for ten minutes; while that's happening, peel and chop a head of garlic medium-coarse* into some decent-sized glops of mayonnaise and stirred around a bit. Drain potatoes, put into tubs, stir in garlicky mayonnaise, stir in extra mayonnaise as necessary. It smells a lot more vicious than it tastes, but was pronounced a success. * so that there are some crunchy bits in the final dish - this takes the place of the small amount of raw onion that one might otherwise consider adding.
