Men seem to like meat dishes..i.e. Hot chicken wings, bbq'ed ribs, etc. But the nacho and cheese is always good. I like em too! They tend to stay away from the ka-bobs. Here is my suggestion: Potato salad, hot bbq'ed chicken wings, chips and a good nacho cheese dip. And don't forget the beer :)
definitely some cheese sticks & hot wings.
and you can go to the market down the frozen food section and
find "Anytizers"*
loads of different finger foods :]
You should definately gets wings, chips & dip, and of course, every guys needs their beers and drinks! You can also order pizzzaa!!!!!!!!
Take genoa, hungarian, mustard seed, or peppercorn salami (smokey thin salami) and make layers of 4 or 5 slices with cream cheese spread in between. Cut into wedges. Serve with pickles and olives.
This is a no carb snack and very popular.
Put out a dish of pepperoncini - small yellow hot pickled peppers which are great with beer.
Just put out very nice fresh buns and a variety of cold meats, cheeses, and pickles.
pizza, nachos, tacos, burgers, fries, and pretzels.
us men in general don't really care , as long as it does not get in the way of our main finger food - the pull tab on the beer can. pizza nachos chix wings , all small stuff that can be held in one hand + eaten in 1 bite as not to take to much time away from our next swig of that majestic ale while watching the game
try large cubes of ham, drumsticks, sandwich platters, nachos, those tiny burgers..
