What do you call this plate of food...?

[Lostinbooksandcoffee]

When you have a selection of various foodstuffs? For example:
Crackers, cheese, ham, boiled egg, hummus, crudités, pork pie or sausage roll, grapes.

Basically, a little bit of everything. I've seen it called a 'picky plate' or 'snack plate' on FB etc. I've also seen it mentioned on MN how they detest the saying.

So, I'm just curious what you call this type of meal?

British tapas if beige party type food
Or
’Buffee’ bits

I don't call it anything really. It's just a snack/lunch/dinner/whatever.

My Nana used to call it a bung up.

Used to be picky bits or horse doofers.

From today, Trashy Tapas!

A 'bitsa tea' - it's bits of everything

@TheQueensCousin do you call it a s’mores board on purpose (the campfire marshmallow+biscuit+chocolate concoction)? Or are you thinking of Smörgåsbord ?

I find the inclusion of ham problematic as firstly you need a knife and a fork rather than just a knife and secondly you have pork pie AND sausage roll ? You’ve got a piggy overload right there. If I had that in the lunchtime it would be lunch and in the evening I would think it would be supper.

Picky bits

@TheQueensCousin

S'mores board.

S'mores are a biscuit with marshmallow filling, an American foodstuff, do you mean a smorgasbord?

Bits and bobs. I often eat like this.
It’s not crudités nor charcuterie - more mixed than that.

Party tea or picnic tea depending on if we are eating it outside or inside!

@RedRed9 you're right...silly me! 🙄 Yes that's what we call it in our house. We also buy delicious S'mores croissants from our local baker too 😊

Snacking foods

Picky tea or picnic tea!

"Picnic lunch" for the kids, "I can't be bothered to cook, shall we eat cheese" for the grown ups.

In our house it's Tapas

A fridge picnic.

Picnic tea

Finger foods.

Mini banquet.

Mini feast.

We call it picky bits

It’s called a Little Snack in our house, doesn’t matter which meal it’s for or how big it is. From when DD was little.

I'd just call it lunch, most of my lunch plates are anonymous bits of what I fancy, dh says shall we just pick tonight referring to just snacking on nibbles instead of a cooked meal, and I'd probably produce something similar to the above for me.

Platter or a Ploughmans if it’s heavy on the cheese and apple.
