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?

Party dinner or party tea.

I don't know what I call it even though we eat it v regularly however it shall henceforth be known as trashy tapas

We call it 'a plate'. Like this "What you having for tea?" " I think I'll just have a plate"

Usually reserved for Christmas.

Bits n bobs.

Picnic for me to

I say it in my head the way Harry Hill used to say "Chippy Chips"

Yes!

I don't call it anything, it sounds a horrible mix.
I would have cheese and biscuits, or bread and cheese, or a sandwich, and some people in my family might have sausage rolls or a pork pie, but not as a meal. It sounds the sort of thing you might get at a party where they've tried to provide for children, old people and vegetarians, but forgot to include anything interesting or tasty.

Christ there are some judgemental people on here 😂 it’s a perfectly normal tea in many, many countries 😂😂. Including this one!! Such snobbery...and it’s not even a ‘lower class’ tea either...it’s just very ordinary plated deli food 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Bits and pieces

That would be cold tea if with family, bits and bobs/mini picnic if just for me.

A picky tea

I can’t see why you’d have all that on a plate. It’s not supper, it would seem excessive for lunch. Would it be a ploughman’s platter for sharing?

Sunday Tea

We don’t really call it anything but I’d think it’s deli food.

Picnic tea!

Buffet

Bits on a plate

It’s called either a carpet picnic or a sofa picnic here.

Picky bits

Growing up we had this every Saturday. Was known as “telly tea” as it was the only night we were allowed to eat not at the table

Picky bits is perfectly acceptable. That's exactly what they are. It may also be a brown buffet. I'm hoping someone invites me to a 50th or 21st soon so I can eat brown buffet. Chilli/curry buffet is a total let down (but easy, I know)

Christmas plate here :)

A poo poo platter

Grazing plate/board. Mezze.

Picky bits sounds anything but appetitising to me sorry!

Platter.
