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!

I'm English, getting on in years, and I haven't a clue what a 'picky tea' is.

It doesn't exactly sound tempting.

I think it's the double barreling and frequency of picky plate, picky tea. Oh my god. I now have Phoebe's "smelly cat" tune in my head with the lyrics;

Picky plate,
Picky tea,
What are they feeding me?

You're welcome. 😂

Don't forget cheese and pineapple.

Anything as long
as it includes French stick cut into rounds with real butter and cheese.

All the beige foods

Quiche
Potato salad
Bite sized quality sausage rolls
French bread
Boursin
Greek salad
Olives
Cheeseboard and crackers

Im lost too OP, I love a picky tea!

Pork Pie
St Agur cheese
Port Salut cheese
Fancy salami with truffle (Special treat from Waitrose)
Gerkins
Silverskin onions
Wotsists microwaved with cheese so it melts....

I’m definitely having this over the weekend!

I only ever do picky bits at Christmas, and can’t believe I missed out on Summer picky bits!!

Cheeseboard, French bread, chutney, cornichons, tomatoes, houmous, stuffed vine leaves.

Haha this is us over Christmas.
we love a beige buffet

I just go to M&S and get loads of the 3 for £8 deli stuff - chorizo wrapped cheese, feta parcels, lamb pastries, olives and cheese, quiche, sun dried tomatoes stuffed with cheese, Spanish deli meats, tomato and mozzarella salad, sausage roll

With fresh bread. And their salt & black pepper party mix crisps.

St Agur cheese
Port Salut cheese

We have the same taste @girlmeetsboy- these two are my favourites.

I miss vol~au~vents . . . where have they disappeared to?

Dont forget the Boursin. The roule is the connoisseurs choice at a buffet.

These cheese of gods!

I really don't get the aversion to the term ... ignore the haters, I for one, love a picky tea 🤣

Ideas ....

• triangle sandwiches
• Crisps & dips
• fruit salad
• roasted veggies on skewers
• chicken wings

My kids and I like

Garlic bread - balls or slices
Chicken bites on a skewer
Something cheesy and breaded
Slices of meat like salami or Parma ham
Tortillas and Dip
Sausage Rolls

Stuffed vine leaves
Pesto pasta
Cherry tomatoes cut into tiny pieces with basil leaves, olive oil and basalmic vinegar
Chorizo cooked in cider
Good bread or bruschetta (for the cherry tomatoes and to mop up the chorizo liquid )
Falafels
Scotch eggs

My picky bits are a real hodge podge of things I like 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m thinking of doing the same on Saturday. Though mine is called ‘bits and pieces’ which is what my mum used to say.

I suppose it doesn't but my culinary skills are rather good

Quite 😂

Picking at your tea always meant not eating much because it was not very tempting ?

Probably explains why I grew up hearing my mother say it

Hmm. I think keema and rice is now off for Saturday. I’ll send DH and DS to Lidl for bread, German cured meats and cheese.

We have always done one for Birthdays too and kids are in their 20s now.
