Veggies and french onion sour cream dip. Chips are ok, but veggies are the best.
Nuts, salted or praline style.
Guacamole- homemade and fresh.
Strawberries and whipped cream.
Olives and pickles. Little sausages.
Cake with lots of frosting or cookies/brownies, do nothing for me.
So… how about you?
Little itty bitty egg rolls. I love those things.
The open bar.
Oh, and the meatballs with the sweet sauce, and Lil’ Smokies.
broiled stuffed mushroom caps
spinach dip and pumpernickel bread
marinated mushrooms
olives of any kind
ditto on homemade guac
smoked salmon
I could go on…
(I, too, say “meh” to the sweets. I’m all about the savory!)
Scallops wrapped in bacon.
Ooh, scallops wrapped in bacon.
Those miniature quiches. Any kind, but especially the Lorraine ones (with ham or bacon).
There’s a bacon theme here, isn’t there?
bacon wrapped in bacon… mmmmm
Where are all the sweet lovers?
Cold shrimp, with or without cocktail sauce. If I could just pull my chair up to the buffet table…
My mom was a big one for fixing “finger food,” although much of it needed at least a toothpick to handle. Among the things reminiscent of what she cooked (and therefore = NOM NOM NOM):
Deviled eggs – like crack, for sure
Meatballs or little sausages in some kind of yummy sauce
Stuffed celery
In the bacon category: whole water chestnuts wrapped in bacon
To be sure of finding any left, you want to make a point of getting to it before I do.
The hostess after a few drinks.
I love those little party bean burritoettes. akin the egg rollkies.
Rumaki for my gout.
… a martini.
After that, veggies and dip, little meatballs, and shrimp. No particular order; I like them all.
Thats what I was gonna say, except in my case, its the Bosses Wife after waaay too many drinks. Then there is the fistacuffs.
And Deviled Eggs. Did I mention I am no longer am employable?
Come on boys and girls, this far in and no love for the pigs in blankets – the food everybody likes to think they have to look down their nose at, but is always the first to be devoured?
I love them if they’re Lil’ Smokies in blankets. I just love Lil’ Smokies. I love them swimming in BBQ sauce, wrapped in blankets or just covered in their own grease. I know they’re probably little cholesterol laden death sticks but I loooove them.
I also love stuffed mushrooms, little quiches, cold shrimp and cocktail sauce, deviled eggs, assorted olives, 7 layer dip … ah hell, I’ll just have everything.
[homersimpson]cholesterol laden death sticks… mmmmmm [/hs]
Ah, a kindred spirit!
I can’t turn down a good cheeseball. I especially like the ones with a little bleu cheese in the mix.
I would eat all of the green onions off a veggie tray if I had a chance.
chicken satay skewers
samoosas
humus
some of the best hours of my life have been cocktail hours…
