Give me your favourite picky plate foods!!

[bookishblondie]

I fancy doing a spread Saturday afternoon so tell me what you love when you have picky plates / picky tea!

Oh my god

What?

Some people on here have a weird reaction to the term "picky tea" OP

You deserve prison.

Buttery French bread
garlic herb soft cheese
fancy ham
a cheese
fancy pickle
grapes
fancy sausage roll
pork pie

🤮🤮

Why?

Picky teas not my best term but I got what op meant.
no need to be a rude arse

I'm sure they'll be along soon to tell you why. I don't get it either, but then again, we have breakfast, lunch and dinner in this house. Never "tea"😅

Celery in a jug
Winkles
Bread and butter
Jam

Can you tell I'm a bit cockney? 😁

Is this a wind up, OP 😂

Olives, lovely crackers, pickles, potato salad (sorry!), pickled onions, bean type salad, couscous

No eels?

Would they be in a jug if you did?!

Salmon en croute ~ beetroot salad ~ spiced potato wedges ~ macaroni cheese ~ peas & sweetcorn would be lovely

But I'd also be happy with a sandwich selection, some really nice sausage rolls, vegetable crisps and warm cheese scones with cream cheese & chilli jam

And for pudding please could I have some lime cheesecake with fresh mango and whipped cream ? Or a cupcake would be very nice

Picky tea seems to be MN verboten. On a thread this week someone was telling me you need to call it a buffet. Which is just weird for a family dinner! Anyway.

Cheeseboard
boiled eggs
beetroot
nice salads
crisps
crudites

Sorry I'm new to Mumsnet and genuinely lost to the problem people have with picky plate/picky tea?

Oh how strange, i guess i forgot everybody gets offended over something lol.

“Picky tea” aside, I love:

Home-made sausage rolls
Cheese, crackers, chutney and grapes
Tomatoes (best quality I can get)
Some kind of home-made puff pastry tart using ready bought pastry - goats cheese and onion or similar
Humus and crudités
quiche

I like olives, cubes of feta, sundried tomatoes, fresh baguette, hummus, Chovi allioli (garlic dip) Very Mediterranean.

People just being snobby probably.
I would do buttery naice bread
Cheese board/crackers
Smoked salmon
Crisps
Crudités
Roast chicken
Salad
New potato salad
Quiche
Pickles
Olives

Basically it’s a bit like school here sometimes and people point their fingers and shout ‘weirdo’ about random things. Not to worry. Enjoy your picky tea!

It’s a them problem, not a you problem.
