Nibbles

15 replies

Lifeoverhaul · 14/12/2019 11:33

I have 3 people coming around for nibbles tonight. Is this enough? Would you change or add anything.

  • different crackers.
  • 3 different cheeses.
  • nice bread to slice.
  • Turkey for sandwiches (incase anyone a bit more hungry).
  • salad bowl (mixed bean probably).
  • yule log and chocolates. Do I need cream?

I would add crisp type snacks and nuts if there are no allergies. Basically little things to pick at.

Also dips are a "nibbles" thing to me.

Is there much else on your cheese board? Chutneys, grapes?

Perhaps you could also pick up some nice crisps, nuts etc

Agree re the dips!

I think friend is bring chutney. Would that be enough for a 'dip'? I'll get some crisps or nuts.

Sorry. I know I sound really tight but I don't want to be left with loads of stuff I don't eat .

I would probably have some kind of pate or hummus in case there are non cheese eaters.

DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn · 14/12/2019 16:02

I don't think Chutney is a dip.

It's not tight to not want loads of left overs though. :)

HeronLanyon · 14/12/2019 16:05

I would want grapes/satsumas and dips/hummus with cheese crisps crackers.
Have fun op. What you have sounds good.

I would defo get a tube of Pringles or plain crisps. Don't worry about the nuts so much as they always get left I find.
Chutney will be for the cheese board and not really a dip as such. You can get a sour cream dip for 49p at Lidl and their own Pringles for 79p.

Btw turkey sandwiches are a festive winner and nice bread..... I'm actually hungry and need this! Enjoy 😉
