Canapés/nibbles

[Illbethereinaminute]

I'm having my parents over for Christmas Day and we will probably eat around 3 for a full sit down meal, they will probably arrive about 12/1ish so I was thinking of doing a couple of canapes just to bridge the gap.

Only thing I'm really feeling is smoked salmon bilinis. We are having a big meal so the canapes need to be light.

Any suggestions?

Cheese Straws aren't too heavy and, in my experience, always popular.

A definite yes to smoked salmon blinis, with cream cheese. Pineapple or melon chunks wrapped in Parma ham. Or both.
if you split pita bread in two, cut into tiny rounds, and bake, you get a nice light base for canapés (thanks Delia!) You could top with a variety of things - humus, guacamole, pate etc

Pate is a good call! I'll stick some pringles and cheese straws out for the fussy members of my household then me and my parents can have the bilinis and pate.

We have smoked salmon bilinis and also little prawn cocktail cups, then I don’t do a starter! We also don’t have dessert either.

Crudités with chips & dips.
