| Honestly most of these 80's era appetizers are still delicious today (and still served). |

| Something with sundried tomatoes. Also, your parties sound very fun. Silver Palate cookbook idea is great, too. |

Those caviar new potatoes were *the* thing at closing parties for leveraged acquisitions in the 80s -- peak Bonfire of the Vanities (But I'd rather eat brie) |

| If I remember right, that was also the beginning of chicken nuggets - at first they were considered cocktail finger food |

All duplicates, I think: Halved baby potatoes with creme fraiche or sour cream topped with black caviar; stuffed mushrooms;
bagel chips with cream cheese, lox and capers, and/or whitefish salad. Hummus with pita chips and veggies that can be dipped; stuffed mushrooms; asparagus wrapped in prosciutto. For sweets: flourless chocolate cake; mini cheesecakes; strawberries or a fruit platter; assorted rugelach. I realized only as I wrote this that except for the prosciutto, all of these could easily be kosher — and many of the most chi chi events that I went to back then as a grad student would have tried to have spreads that were kosher enough. In contrast, during the same time period, when I came home to DC, the spreads would have been more likely to include individual baby back ribs; miniature crab cakes; shrimp cocktail; and maybe chicken wings with different sauces; with fancy brownies for sweets. |

We were not at all fancy. We bought our chopped liver in a plastic container. |
