Q. Our 16-year-old son is having 30 friends to a party. For obvious security reasons my husband and I will not go out but have agreed not to show our faces downstairs. This raises a problem with food. Our son refuses to have any, complaining that pizza, sausages, baked potatoes, chicken legs in barbecue sauce, et cetera — all things that can be prepared in advance — are ‘childish’ and too redolent of children’s parties. I feel his guests will not only feel cheated of food but will also get very drunk. What do you suggest, Mary?
