Chicken Liver pate with onion marmalade and toasted granary bread

MintChocAddict · 30/03/2009 22:18

Pate here too. TTC at the moment and each time I get a BFN I treat myself to some brussels pate to cheer me up!
I'm also partial to bruchetta. Yum.

Why?

norksinmywaistband · 30/03/2009 22:20

Love pate, BUT if whitebait is on the menu, I am unable to select an alternate starter

Proper old fashioned h'ors d'oeuvres like you used to get in Italian restaurants in the 1970s

or

small serving of garlicky mussells.

Those little brown shrimps stuffed into a tomato with mayo (only in Belgium though - it never tastes the same anywhere else). Or potted shrimps.

me an all for the brie / camembert.

also prone to a bit of tart - goat's cheese or sweet onion.

generally i LOVE starters and would rather have several of them than anything on the main course menu.

sweetkitty · 30/03/2009 22:28

Warm goats cheese with caramelised red onions on some ciabatta, mmm.

dietstartstomorrow · 30/03/2009 22:32

I love any starters with either king prawns or mushrooms.

MoreSpamThanGlam · 30/03/2009 22:32

Aaparagus with either butter and lemon...or....with cheese sauce on top, a sprinkle of parmesan and nutmeg and small chopped fresh sweet tomatoes, then grilled...slurp!!!!!!!!!!!!

salvadory · 30/03/2009 22:53

mmmn I had a yummy starter this weekend would be v easy to make at home too. Endive leaves filled with lardons, croutons and roquefort and served with a little jug of warm blue cheese sauce to drizzle over- delicious
I love pate, any deep fried cheese ooh and i almost forgot, steak tartare, god I'm hungry!

janeite · 30/03/2009 22:55

Onion bhaji!

Asparagus always good.

I like dips etc as a starter a lot as well, especially mezze type.

Garlic mushrooms, mushrooms in cheese sauce, breaded mushrooms etc.
