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?

Lounge picnic

Snacky plate obviously.

Food.
A plate thereof..
Thy eateth or starveth..

Pick'n'mix

I'd call it a picnic or even maybe a Ploughman's?

Carpet Picnic 🧺 since MN ruined 'picky bits'

Cold stuff. Our winter version is pasta with stuff

Funny dinner/tea.

It's certainly not a poor mans tapas. If you buy nice ham, a couple of nice cheeses, grapes, nice crackers or bread, crudités, maybe some olives and pate it soon adds up! Add some wine too and it all sounds very continental...

It's pronounced like luddites* it's "crew-dit-a"! Feel like a knob for correcting but I couldn't let that go!

It's a bitsa here.

turn many thanks for allowing me to avoid being that knob.

@HeronLanyon haha you're welcome; it's my biggest flaw, I just can't let it go! Grammar 👮‍♂️ here!

'Picky bits' gives me visions of female genitalia on a plate...

Actually we might call it a picnic lunch sometimes rather than just lunch. I'm another who doesn't like "picky bits". Or "dippy eggs".

@turnthebiglightoff I think cruddites was a joke. She knows how it’s pronounced but says it like that a joke.

garbage plate plate of assorted party food or left overs lol

Someone who can't be bothered to cook a real meal?

That would be me by the way 😂

Policeman Badger tea, nicked from my aunt who used to make this kind of tea for us when we were little. Tufty club, anyone? It always had to contain a chocolate roll. My DH now uses this term.

Nibbles/nibbly bits. "Picky bits" just makes me think of people picking their various orifices

Tasty morsels.

We called it a mixture as kids. My nieces now ask for a cold mixture. They’re picky little buggers and often refuse all offers of hot food!

Picky plate or picnic plate.
