Bowls of olives are always good I reckon, as are breadsticks and houmous!. Just the other day I had halved boiled quails egg on a tiny square on lightly toasted bread with asparagus tip and topped with a little mayo, it was delicious, if not a little fiddly! People would be impressed though!. Or how about buying puff pastry and making bite sized tarts, with olives, sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella/feta, basil etc!. Really simple, quick to cook but tasty and fancy! Well wish I was having a cocktail party now! Have fun!Www@FoodAQ@Com
These are always a huge hit when I serve them!. The recipe is from Foodnetwork!.

Spicy meat balls!.
Simply mix one egg, some old white bread, milk and 500 Gram of beef mince together until thick paste!.
Roll in to balls about the size of a tea spoon and fry n hot cooking oil!.
Similarly, make very much the same thing by using left over veg that you have minced fine with a fork, and call it Chinese Spring Rolls!.
also make in the same way some "bacon fingers"!.
Basically the same recipe but using diced bacon and instead of rolls, form them in to rectangles!.
Slice some white bread, dip it in a mixture of egg and milk and fry in hot oil, making "French Toast"!.
Here is another;
Using the washed and dried potato peels that you would normally toss out, fry them in deep oil and strain or pat dry with a kitchen towel!.
Sprinkle with vinegar salt and serve like crisps!.
Make a batter from self raising flour and egg and milk until a thick pate!.
Put in a sieve and shake over hot oil!.
Droplets of this batter will fall in to the oil, baking in to golden brown pearls!.
Remove from oil and pat dry
Sprinkle with icing sugar while hot!.
Serve cold!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
