[Window1]

I always tend to put the same bits out when people come over for drinks as picky nibbles.

Pizza
Nuts
Crisps
Dip
Sweets

Basic I know! What are your go to nibbles to help me mix it up a bit?

Crisps and dips (hummus salsa etc)
Cheese and crackers
Chocolates
Prawn crackers

Bombay mix
Olives
Tortillas

Marks gluten free mild dorito chips
Prawn crackers
Veg strips and tzatziki
Veg spring rolls from Iceland, they do great party foods
Cheese and crackers

Bread sticks
Mini crostini
Olives

Sweet chilli rice crackers
Olives and feta cubes

Home made guacamole done with a lot of line juice and fresh red onion always gets demolished.

Cured meats. Just grab a slice of salami & a cornichon. I could live off that. Or with cocktail pickles onions

Popchips/ Doritos / cheese twists / breadsticks

Oatcakes with goats cheese. Little black pepper.

Grilled hallumi with a bit of chilli oil drizzled over it

Ooo I could do this all day. I love nibbles for suppers & parties!

Devilled eggs!

Little asparagus rolls!

[I grew up in the 70s]

mozarella pearl and cherry tomato on cocktail sticks

Different small melon cubes on cocktail sticks

Blinis with some kind of topping - used to love pecorino and basil from Waitrose with a basil leaf on top but they've discontinued it.

Charcuterie - ou get teh rollito type things or roll slices and stab with a cocktail stick

Olives

Marinated feta cubes

This day and age I'd stay away from anything with a risk of double dipping, sharing cutlery etc!

I do mini roast potatoes a lot, people hunt them down especially with hummus. Loads of salt pepper paprika and chopped rosemary on top.

I keep meaning to get a friends artichoke and cheese dip recipe, served hot with crisps or flatbread, seems to basically be tinned artichokes and soft and hard cheeses baked, it’s incredible.

Those fancy long chipolatas baked in honey and mustard are good too.

Spanish Tortilla cooked ahead too is easy with salad

Whole baby potatoes roasted in oil and herbs and salt. Hot or room temp are both fine!

I'm hungry now!

Nigella ginger and mustard sausages go down a storm so we always do loads

Bruschetta

Ricotta filled red peppers

Blinis with smoked salmon and cream cheese or cream cheese and Parma ham

Thick cut triple cooked chips (m and s) are fab too

When you the mini roasties do you serve them on sticks or anything? They should lovely but I can’t imagine eating them with my fingers.

@idontlikealdi what are marinating the feta in?

I plonk a few large bags of crisps into bowls and put a load of supermarket dips near them. (I'm a slattern)
