Olives - noooooh!
Depends entirely on whether the group are vegetarian or vegan or whatever?

Huh? Am I missing something? Why would it matter if
there are olives if there are vegetarians/vegans in the group?

It may be a bit 'retro' - but a good old-fashioned 'hedgehog', an orange/grapefruit etc with cubes of cheese, mini sausages, pickled onions, pineapple, stuck into it usually goes down a treat!

Geekesse, yes, all my favourites - I'd enjoy a visit!

I went to a friend’s house last week. Amongst the nibbles were dips served in individual shot glasses, if that helps.

If you go on Pinterest there are some great ideas, nothing too messy and things on sticks so people can pick up, in view of the current climate I would avoid things that people take handfuls of ( perhaps a set of tongs could be used ) and if you do serve dips put a spoon at the side and a little card asking people to use it. I have seen pasta/potato salad served in little plastic/cardboard cups so people just take one, less mess.

Mini sausages, cooked in honey and mustard, on sticks. Smoked salmon blinis. Blinis with sour cream and salmon caviar. Mini bruschette with sun-dried tomato, basil and mozzarella. Cubes of chicken on sticks with a satay dip. Celery, carrot and red pepper sticks with a hommus dip.

For me- nuts, pretzels, cubed cheese wrapped in Parma ham or sun dried tomatoes on a stick, tortillas and dips, cheese sticks.

I am hosting a pamper evening for about 12 ladies in September. I am a bit rusty when it comes to the type of nibbles people like. Any ideas?
