I'm just looking for inspiration really and would love to hear what other people's favourite canapes/nibbles are.

sausages in mustard and honey on a stick.
Pesto and goats cheese tarts.
Small piece of focaccia with roasted pepper and either pesto/houmous.
prawn and avocado blini

Tiny roast new potatoes stuffed with sour cream and caviar (or chopped chives).
Smoked chicken and mango salsa on little gem leaves.
Quails' eggs with zatar.
Tiny puff pastry tarts with buffalo mozzarella or goat's cheese, with roast tomatoes and fresh pesto. Rare roast beef is also wonderful with pesto but would need brown bread.
Mini sweetcorn pancakes with guacamole and crumbled fried chorizo.
Mini warm ham and brie croissants.

I also love a large bowl of baba ganoush, garnished with coriander and served with warm flatbreads.

But for a garden party it would be hard to beat an enormous platter of cucumber sandwiches, on a choice of white or brown crustless bread, with salted butter.
