What's a good snack to cheer guests arriving very late at night ... involving little or no effort on my part of course ...

[franch]

... as I'll be half asleep

bacon roll

bread, cheese, wine - less is more

Would it be too common to put out some pickled onions with the bread and cheese ?

Failing that, some pickled onion monster munch..........

Off to raid the fridge, very impressed with all suggestions btw

Sorry RL friends came around to say HB.

We tend to do stinky cheese, crusty bread, and continental meats, with lashings of red wine.

Welsh Rarebit, followed by hot chocolate.

Cheese, grapes, crackers & red wine.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

if the weather is like this chicken noodle soup

I would have either some home made soup, plus a cheeseboard ( and vats of wine) if it is really late, or a big pot of stew/chilli, plus crusty bread ( and vats of wine) ready. It will all depend on whether they ate loads at M&S on the motorway, whether their trip was 1 hour or 6 hours, etc. In fact, I would have both ready for them just in case. Pizza is a bit imvho.

i'd have a variety of drinks to hand to offer - whisky, sherry (which i hate), brandy, a red wine like claret or a burgundy.

and non-alcholic ones: hot chocolate, tea, herbal teas, coffee.

defo soup or some lovely chilli or curry - anything that can be dipped into with bread or tortillas and eaten on laps.

Bacon sandwiches, I second mamamamama

yes, colditz, a bacon roll fgs. Who wants to be heating up pots of curry and chilli and unveiling cheeseboards and smorgasbords in teh middle of the night.

I should not have read this thread.

Or crumpets and hot chocolate is lovely and supperish.

lol colditz yes it makes you hungry doesn't it

I am particularly craving the croissants and cheese, washed down with expat's unwanted sherry

that is my quote of the week right there

Sorry but how has Fish Finger sarnies not been mentioned yet?

Posh - use Ciabatta, add lettuce and rustic Italian tomato sauce

Common - white bread, lots of vinegar, salt & pepper and lashing of Heinz ketchup

Knobcheese on a biscuit and a pint of poteen
