Any ideas for pre-Xmas lunch nibbles? (not too filling!)?
Answers:
I agree with the smoked salmon. This should be served with oatcakes.
As an alternative choice I also serve melted blue cheese with carrot baton crudites.
try cheese balls, we always have a couple, and a layered taco dip with chips. That way it is something to munch on and can be made up ahead of time if you are too busy making christmas dinner. There are some really good recipes at allrecipes.com
traditional canapes?
we usually have smoked salmon on pancakes with cream cheese, chilli prawns and plenty of crisps.
you could do shots of soup, crackers, mini sausages.
check out the party food section of your supermarket (usually in frozen foods) for inspiration and make your own!
Cheese and Pinapple on cocktail sticks.............
olives, vegetable crisps (parsnip, carrot etc), crudites with dips.
Spanikopita. Spinach and filo finger food. Greek. Delicious.
ITS OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Raw veggies & dip, cheese platter with assorted cheeses & mustards, cheese ball, sausage balls, etc. The key is to keep it finger foods so people can just grab a bite while they're waiting on the good stuff!!
Granola bars, yogurt, ham and cheese salads. :-).
why not have a large serving plate with a dip in the centre in a little dish, with things to dip placed around, such as carrots, celery, olives,cucumber, pepper. Keep it nice and light, maybe some nuts and dried fruit?
Christmas cookies, veggie/fruit tray, cheese/cracker/sausage/mustard tray, oliver/pickle tray, etc, etc, etc
Pate and thinly sliced toast, Sausages on Stick, Chicken Strips,
