I really enjoy grilled olives, grilled artichokes and a sundried tomato spread or something like that, served with crostini. That could easily be part of the board.

The +1 part sounds really good..

I would eat the crabmeat dip in the Frito bowl, the lamb meatballs, grapes and cookies, pp. I didn't realize book clubs had good food.

Anchovies, BONE broth (tastes gamey), lamb and goat cheese and seafood/shellfish are all very controversial.
Do you need ideas? Yes, the answer is yes, you need ideas.


Very controversial for the forum that regards salt as the devils mineral.


I love salt.
I'm allergic to fish and shellfish.
I dislike lamb and goat cheese.

I would happily eat salty bacon, chips, chinese food loaded with MSG.
So don't blame this problematic menu on salt. It's just terrible food choices by OP.


Not all people are allergic to fish and shellfish.

Seriously what a stupid reason to criticize these menu choices.


Fish and shellfish are very controversial as a menu item. Lots of people don't eat them, for a variety of reasons.

Better to feel embarrassed on DCUM than in front of real people.

Honestly, what the heck? Talk about rude. "Terrible food choices"? SOME people like to be adventurous and creative. Chinese food "loaded" with MSG? Come on.

Tell us more about the members. Old, young, adventurous, on diets? What did they serve you on their turns? I once hosted a group (unknown to me) that seemed to all be on a diet. People barely tried anything. I wish I had known and saved myself the effort.
