Came to say deviled eggs. People also like dips. If you do a nice homemade guacamole, it’ll get eaten. A good warm crab dip with baguette also. I wouldn’t think to bring baklava, but I love baklava, so that PP is on to something.

Accurate.

Totally agree! People love them. Another weird thing that I cannot believe people devour at my parties-- cream cheese spread on salami, rolled and toothpicked. Men especially seem to love both gross items because their wives would never serve either.

Good question - is this a bunch of dieting middle aged ladies?

If that's the case, then bake one chicken leg per person and call that dinner.

LOL!

-PP directly above you

LOL I love that somebody (or a couple of somebodies) picked up what I was throwing down

I buy a large tray of baklava.

I want to go to your party!

I’m going to a similar one on a weeknight so I’m going to just bake something frozen from Trader Joe’s like mini quiches or mini samosas.

LOL, my back-up plan was mini quiches if I couldn't get the chocolate cups. Little quiches are always a hit!!!

It doesn’t make sense for people who are dieting decide to have an appetizer/dessert party.

Nainamo bars.

Agreed: know your audience. I'm a little bit of a germaphobe so would only eat single serve things in this kind of context, and health conscious... are folks vegan, gluten-free, keto or just plain old American glutton?

that said, falafel can be nice: not the sandwich but individual balls on toothpicks with cucumber and red pepper maybe. But frozen from Trader Joe and heat up.
