I’ve been invited to a friend’s casual lunch gathering of about 10 people and we are asked to bring a plate (friend moved 4 hours away so the gathering is being hosted by another mutual friend while she visits, hence being a plate).
I am looking for ideas please as I don’t want to cook anything myself as I am not confident cooking for others unfortunately but I was thinking of some nice things that I could put together to buy ie
Antipasti platter with salami/prosciutto etc, olives, cheese, mini mozzarella balls, sundried tomatoes, cucumber, French bread
Cheese platter with grapes, crackers and French bread
Fresh fruit platter
Quiches from somewhere like M&S or Waitrose (both meat & vegetarian)
Obviously I will check in advance for any special dietary requirements; I know some of the people going and they are fairly adventurous with food.
