[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

No idea what it is. Am not part of the dinner party scene.

I have tried your mate Kate's one.

I may have invented it, in fact

I do like ritz
and a tub of philly always comes in handy

but I just don't get the sweet chilli sauce bit

ritz crackers and smoked salmon, cod, i'm tellin' ya. [dogs]

Philly with sweet chili sauce (and a sprinkle of coriander for the ponces) is the definitive start to the evening. Served at every second Sydney bbq, when I lived there.

And I swear I have never yet produced it without someone asking me for the recipe. Have been tempted to lie about it, secret ingredients, mix for 20 mins to get mousse-like texture, but can never quite bring myself to tell such a shocking fib.

Best with rice crackers though.

uncool? check
the opposite of proper cooking? check
popular? check
actually surprisingly yummy? check

i've never heard of this philly abomination, do you really whip it up? is it really popular in the pph circle? i saw you more as a lobster crew.

no it isn't popular in the pph circle, but it IS popular in the hideous PTA quiz night/charity evening on the cheap/similar event thing one is forced to go to with monotonous regularity...

honestly aitch it is as revolting as it sounds

it is more lovely when almost at the end of a botle of wine.
my other fave is supermarket indian samosas

i dont care if they are facotry floor sweepings

also i love chips and gravy form a chippy

onyl when drunk

Chips and grated cheese and gravy was a delicacy we dined upon at college... we didn't have to be drunk then, or, were we ever really sober?
