Settle this debate for me. My sister and I live close to each other and often have a similar group of people over for dinner. She always serves a platter of cheese and crackers before the main meal (generally something like pork tenderloin with vegetables). My vote is to skip the appetizer so people are more hungry and can really enjoy the main meal. My sister says people will be starving and expect a nibble.

Is your sister fat?[/quote]

What does this have to with anything? I am thin and I would appreciate nibbles before the main meal. Doesn’t have to be fancy. It gives the guest the option to eat as much or as little as they want before the main meal. You don’t know if the guest is coming from somewhere else where they skipped a meal to get to your house or were too busy to eat beforehand. It seems more social to have snacks to nibble on too. I always serve something like chips and guacamole or salsa or charcuterie plate or nuts or mini baked things from TJ’s. The worst parties I go to are the ones where no meal is served (like 2-5 pm) but they don’t provide snacks either. Only alcohol. At one point, they pulled out leftover bags of stale chips and put out a crockpot of chicken noodle soup that had like two noodles and 3 small chunks of chicken in the whole pot. I was so hangry and distracted.[/quote]
