[TheChicken]

becuase on every firgging thread they say "oh yah, just get some anti pasti and bread an yah like erm thow it on a plate"

yes at what cost?
i haev never had htis antipasti of what oyu speak at a dinner party.

if i ever did i woud KNOW the hostess was a mner

Mmmm being of italian descent, I would do anti pasti - tis lovely.

BUt on mn everytime there is a thread
every chuffing time!

I have never been served anti pasti. Ever.

Anti pasti is the mn equivalent of a tub of hummous and tortilla chips.

Cod, I thought you were one of us.

So what do you serve as a starter ??

I went to a party where they served ketamine....

Made swift exit to the pub

I did it once, years ago, and made every bloody thing myself. Including marinated vegetables, layered in a jar so you could see all the different colours, cauliflower fritters with gorgonzola, blah, blah, blah.

And the buggers I'd invited just scoffed the lot and had no appreciation for the work/time etc.

Don't bother now!

i dont liek all of it
some of it is like pickeld worms imfo

I love a good bit of antipasti. It has to be good, though. And I never serve it as a starter, funnily enough. I like it for a summery al fresco lunch, with lots of ice cold Prosecco [licks lips]. Of course, this is all just a fantasy life. I never really eat anti pasti and get lashed at lunchtime in the sun. It's never sunny. And I eat ham sarnies with my 3 yr old...

tbh i prefer bits with drinks itf i have gfolk over
so do some stuff form " cods canape heaven" (see mn recipe guides)

I'm anti pasti.

Cornish delicacy my arse.

p.s. Houmous & tortillas rock! I love a good old crisps-and-dips starter. I mean, it soaks up wine and FFS, wine should be the staple starter to any meal, surely?

you haevnt treid my mate kates BEST ONE

peopel LICK the plate clean
philly adn sweet shilli sauce POURED over it
adn ritz crackers
so so uncool
so dleisious

oh. It sounds horrid though

whats not to llike
and you can keep your oatcakes
a good ritz cracker.

yum

I agree@Cod. Ritz are divine . Philly is pretty delicious too, in a similar 1970s-tastic sort of way.

you see finger lines across the empty plate
when peopel haev scraped itup in a beerily glutonous way

what's anti pasti?

I've tried your friends BEST ONE... the other night DP dished it up as we were cooking

Wooh! get him!

My mum used to make a great party canape. We're talking the height of the 60s mind you!

Mix softened, salted butter with tomato ketchup till as well mixed as you can get it, then dollop on to Ritz crackers.

Sounds revolting but it's actually rather good!

Hubbys fave is Ritz crackers, philly, soy sauce (lots) and toasted sesame seeds. Sounds gross but it's addictive!

No idea, we don't go to dinner parties.

I am a boring thread killer who doesn't get out enough obviously
