If you've got a food processor, hummus is dead easy, won't need to be heated up. Bring a bowl, along with some pita and you're set.

I was about to say the same thing. Hummus sounds perfect for this event.

Fairy Bread!

White bread - butter and cover with hundreds and thousands.

Very typical of an Aussie kid's bday party.

Hundreds and thousands? What's that?

What we call jimmies, to go on ice cream.

That's nuts! You crazy Aussies. :-p I also how you like to add "ie" to the end of words... as in "brekkie." :)

Russian Cucumber Salad is super easy, cheap, and doesn't need to be heated:

I don't believe this is healthy, but most people enjoy it. I got the recipe (more appropriately, directions to make) from a friend of mine who is Hawaiian.

All it involves is cooking equal amounts of macaroni pasta and potato cubes, as though you were going to make potato or macaroni salad. Hard boiled eggs can be added, as well, and even our the flavor a bit. You then add canned tuna, (I use 2 cans, but always make a large bowl serving) and mayo. Then add garlic salt to your preference, and add pepper to taste.
Mix it all together, and refrigerate. People LOVE this, and it always gets eaten with no leftovers.
