What should I serve at my book club?

[Anonymous]

I am hosting a new book club this weekend and the crowd consists of many top-tier cooks. The point is the book, of course, but I also want to provide delicious snacks (each guest is bringing a drink). Ten people are coming.

On my menu:

Anchovies and sardines on toast points
Crabmeat dip in a Frito bowl
Grape, goat cheese, and walnut cups
Bone broth shooters
Lamb meatballs in brandy cherry sauce, served with toothpicks
Homemade chocolate chip cookies

If you serve me anchovies and bone broth I’m not coming back.

Anchovies, BONE broth (tastes gamey), lamb and goat cheese and seafood/shellfish are all very controversial.
Do you need ideas? Yes, the answer is yes, you need ideas.

Are the anchovies and sardines placed separately or together on the same piece of toast?

I think a few types of cheese, some crackers, a fruit platter and the crabmeat dip, plus the cookies and would be a nice spread — but you know the tastes of your guests better than I do. Ten people are bringing 10 different drinks?

Bone broth is so good and rich and umami!! I'd be so happy to get a BB shooter.

So if my mother were in your book club, she would eat grapes and cookies.

I don't think she is coming, but thank you.

Very controversial for the forum that regards salt as the devils mineral.

Personally, I adore anchovies, but bone broth shooters are a new concept for this old person.
