Nibbles/canapé suggestions

[flugelhorn81]

We've got friends coming over next week for drinks and nibbles, but it'll basically be in place of dinner. I'm tempted to buy a load in from Cook but before I spend a fortune does anyone have suggestions for easy to prepare (or can be made ahead) nibbles that will fill my guests up? Thanks!

Crudites. Tortilla chips. Multipack of dips. Ready made crustless quiche. Pasta salad. Cherry to.atoes. Mini sausage rolls. Go retro with cheese, pickled onion and pineapple skewers....

Blinis are always a good start especially with Onuga instead of proper caviar.

even if food prep has to be done closer together.have a plan timing an stuff.work out what oven space and hob space you needs.
can you lay the table the night before.
do you need extra things for afters.will they be staying for tea so more milk and tea bags in etc.will you need more cutlery or plates or glasses out.
top tip.put all the stuff in the dishwasher as you go and put on an extra cycle when its full

Thanks all! I think I'll do a mix of homemade and shop bought stuff. Cheese and cold meats are good ideas. I had forgotten about sweet stuff too!
