| I need you guys to remember this more specifically, but there was a fancy appetizer of that era that was a gherkin pickle wrapped in ham that had a spread of cream cheese, all held together with a tooth pick. Is that ringing a bell for anyone? It was weirdly good. |

| A container of Boursin cheese next to a baguette that nobody has bothered to slice up, because no guest is actually going to eat said Boursin or baguette. |

Ham hideaways! Off topic, but these also make an appearance in “Somebody Somewhere” on Max. |

This is OP—wow, thank you all! You really overdelivered! I’m now planning on:
- Shrimp cocktail - Triscuits plus a Knorr/mayo dip (maybe the artichoke/leek?) - either cheese straws or devils on horseback or the ham hideaways Thoughts? If a friend asked for inspiration, what should I add? (We often have someone bring cheese & fancy crackers, so might steer away from that combo.) |
