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?

Nibbly bits.

Bits & pieces / bits & bobs, odds & ends ('zends) or picky plate.

A ploughman’s.
Cold Buffett.

Party plate

I'd think of Abendbrot as being more a slice of bread with something on it, rather than a plate of bits and pieces, but it's probably much the same thing depending on which bit of Germany you're in!

Platter.

If it was more Italian, (cured meats, tomatoes, olives, cheese etc), we would refer to it as Antipasti.

Or lots of fish things (smoked salmon, cooked prawns, cooked squid rings etc) maybe a Smorgasbord.

But we generally refer to it as "Platter" here.

Piggy tea

Platter

We used to call it Snacky tea but herein it will be called Trashy Tapas.

Cruddites

A picky dinner or tea. I say and do a lot of things that mn disproves of!

Picky Bits

Buffet/picnic tea. Or sometimes referred to as “fend for yourself night” in our house.

Snacky bits

Poor mans tapas.

It's Collage Food in my house. Yummy too!

Also think picky bits sounds disgusting.

We call it "nibbily bits".

Loving 'trashy tapas'

Wasn't expecting so many replies, and I also had no idea there was a similar thread recently.

My 1yo has been fussy with lunch recently so I've been giving her random bits (today was plain pasta, stripes of roast chicken, cheese, tomatoes and broccoli, plus fruit). I've seen people on here commenting on how they hate it called 'picky bits' so became curious.

I've been calling it a pick'n'mix lunch.

It's a "lunch plate" round here.

I honestly don't know!
If you bunged in a bowl of leaves as well i'd call it salad. My salads are lazy like that.

Without the salad? - Picnicy Stuff for tea ....

Nibbly bits sounds a lot more gross

We call it salmagundi, though technically it isn't (because that's a kind of warm salad thingy).
Often we just say bread and cheese, even though it's far more than just bread and cheese.

Bits n pieces

bits on a plate

We call it a feast, because that's what the kids say when they see a range of different foods, "Oh, we're having a feast!" Even though it's usually anything but..

Picnic plate or picnic dinner

Buffet is more purposeful e.g. purposely cooked ranged of hot meals and salads, often for guests.

Canapes smaller bites but again more purposeful and designed to be that way.

I just call it raiding the fridge
