cold finger food. I need inspiration

[threesacrowd]

I'm having a 40th birthday party and need some ideas for easy, tasty cold finger foods, preferably without pastry.

Sausages

tuna bites

a small tin of tuna, some grated cheese, crushed ritz biscuits and an egg. mix well. dollop on baking sheet and bake til golden.

or you can do cheese and onion ones, just replace the tuna with some diced onion

chicken satay

quails eggs halved with celery salt

king prawns

carciofi (artichoke hearts)

good olives

tarted up hummous with coriander chopped into it and perhaps a little fresh chilli too, squeeze of lemon and glug of olive oil served with crudites or perhaps warm pitta if you can go to warming up in oven for 10 mins

waitrose do fab cocktail sausages in diff flavours....would be lovely cooked and served at room temp

crab cakes

baba ganoush too: aubergine in oven until soft and squishy and then mixed with garlic, olive oil, coriander etc (not authentic recipe but google it and you'll find one) nice alternative to hummous

I once did this, lightly toast some white bread, get a small round cutter and cut out 4 circles, thread on a cocktail stick with a round of emmental or blue chees, round of pepparami cherry tom/olive or such. They went down a treat and looked good. Only problem was it took ages to do the bread toast circle thingys. Everyone loved them.

Good old cheese & pinapple goes too.

Cream cheese along celery.

dips of any kind with carrot, celery, peppers

chicken goujons (icelands do very nice ones for £1)

Smoked salmon and cream cheese dooflings (can't remember what they're called)

Melon and parma ham

seafood selection

cheese board and nice biscuits/ crackers
