This is the type of dish to serve only when you know your audience. It includes two foods that are frequently on people's "won't eat' list: stinky cheeses and dates. So, while many like these, many more people dislike them and won't eat them. Put two together and you have a pretty small subset of people who will eat them. This is usually one of those things that are only served when the host loves them. Be prepared to have man left, so as long as you love them, you'll be good.

Well the OP asked for new and different ideas, so that's what I was offering. I think the baked Brie and pigs in pastry are tasty but done all the time. I've served these bacon wrapped Gorgonzola dates in different situations and I've never had leftovers!

As long as you warn people about the Gorgonzola, that’s fine. I hate when I try something assuming it will be a normal or mild tasting food and it’s something very strong. Cheeses like this should not be a surprise! Same with spicy foods, and I love spicy food!
