I love an assortment of olives, some salami, and a goat or blue cheese with some crostini. Snack away and drink some wine!

Wine. If you need something to go with it, get another bottle of wine.

This sounds really good and really different (and paleo?) Do you think feta or ricotta would work in place of goat cheese?

Buy a skinny baguette, slice thinly, toast in the oven. Smear with cream cheese, top with a slice of smoked salmon, sprinkle with chopped chives. So yummy and looks gorgeous!

Trader Joes has a Coconut Shrimp that is really good... they also sell a sweet and sour sauce that goes nicely as a dipping sauce. They also have a rosemary flavored nut you can put out in a bowl.

We made Indian street snacks this past weekend. You can google recipes to find something that you can do with the veggies and spices you can access, but a masala mix can be blended rather than bought pre-mixed.

Hot artichoke dip with baguette. Sinful but delish. Look on Pinterest for a ton of ideas.

I can get pretty much any ingredient, barring the truly exotic. Something a little out there but not untouchable will work. Thanks for the ideas PP!

What ingredients will you have easy access to at a reasonable price?

Can be sweet or savory. I'm the new (urban) girl in a provincial town. Anything in particular I should bring? All ideas welcome! I have 3 days to figure this out.
