| We always get Hebrew National pigs in a blanket. And they go fast. Spanakopita is also really good. |
Please have veggie sushi and samosas and bruschetta |

I am doing the following for a heavy apps lunch:
Ham and cheese sliders Crab balls Deviled eggs Cheese and crackers Crudités with homemade dip Sausage balls Shrimp cocktail Olives |
|
On a Mexican theme…
Empanadas are filling-buy or make your own buying the dough and filling it with meat or veggies Taquitos are pretty easy to do-can make ahead and bake right before everyone gets there Guacamole is filling too… |
| Buy Turkish frozen pies and then bake and cut and serve. Calories galore. |

I don't know people who do not want to eat cured meats, cheeses, and dried fruit and nuts.
That pp is nuts. Sure don't eat it three times per day, but that is literarily the " appetizers food culture" of Europe that some are fawning about on the other thread. |
Do the Europeans eat that as the main part of their meal? No one is questioning this as an appetizer. |
No, they don't. My post was directed at pp who said nobody wants to eat cured meats and cheeses, etc. |

You need hot dishes. No one wants a plate of cold meats and olives and nothing else as a “meal.”
The Hawaiian Roll sandwiches are good. Hot dips like spinach artichoke or crab are a good idea. Cocktail meatballs in a crockpot. Even hot appetizers from the freezer section of Trader Joe’s or Wegmans, but HOT APPETIZERS. Not just cold cheese and gherkins. |
No, someone might put out something like a small charcuterie board if you were visiting in the afternoon, but not for a meal. |
DP But that pp said, quoted This is not a “meal.” It doesn’t qualify in any sense of the word. Plenty of people don’t want to eat fatty cheese, cured meats, and quiche. So they can have a handful of nuts, apricots, and olives? I think they meant to “plenty of people don’t want it as a meal”; however, I know people who are vegetarian or watching lactose or calorie intake and some cheeses have plenty. You don’t know anyone ?! |

Where do you buy Turkish frozen pies? |
Why on earth would you think only men would need more food? Heavy apps aren’t satisfying for most people, including women. |
