It doesn't have to be goldfish, and it can be what the child in the house eats. My DD recently went to a playdate and the mom served a large salad with all sorts of greens, beans, and grains. My DD loved it. (Of course, I can't get her to eat it in our house). But I'm not suggesting that your MB change your DD's eating habits. Rather, have something around. It can be raisins, carrots, etc. as other posters have suggested.

I just find it strange that there is literally nothing in the house. Right now, we have one box of crackers in our house, but we have apples, carrots, cheese, raisins, hummus, any of which would be perfectly fine for a snack.
