Jalapenos halved, stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in the above bacon. 🙂 ---

> [@Drain\_Bead](#): > > Some sort of meatless thing involving puff pastry for the vegetarians I agree that it’s nice to have a few meatless options on the menu. I am a vegetarian who likes to dine out with my omnivore fiance, and I always check the menu for a restaurant ahead of time to see if there’s anything I can eat before we try a new restaurant. The places we tend to go back to are the places that offer at least a few different options for people like me who don’t eat meat. You could consider a vegetarian sushi roll…something Indian-inspired like masala dosas, samosas, or pakoras…maybe consider experimenting with seitan to create a vegetarian “meat” dish. ---

At Harris, San Francisco, it takes a while to get seated and have one’s steak cooked. So you get a martini and steak tartare (chopped rare steak served with toast.) I don’t like rare meat but it goes well with the drink and prepares the mouth for the steak. I also like a plate of Italian appetizers: salted anchovies, olives, dried mushrooms, sauteed fresh mushrooms, all drenched in olive oil with a little lemon. ---

It looks like your place is a little more up-scale, but if I am at a place that has onion rings, I almost always get them as an app. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/appetizer-ideas-for-restaurant-wanted/633261.md?page=1)
