What you serve for appetizers when a couple comes over to play?

Recommended Posts

I think it's rude to just get down to it. We often serve cheese, crackers and fruit. Anyone else have ideas? Anything romantic served?

We aren't able to host and invite others but an obvious appetizer could be chocolate covered strawberries or a platter of various fresh fruits and/or raw veggies. I've seen chex mix offered as well as little pizza rolls (from the freezer section at the store). Some do a crock pot full of little smokie sausages or cheese dip with chips.

We stay with cheese and crackers, and sometimes some cold cuts from an italian deli. We just make sure nothing is overly pungent or would cause bad breath.

One of the best house party groups we were involved in had a basic pot luck meals like regular couples except we then got naked and had sex later. Usually light fare, sometimes had a cookout.

We hosted a party about a month ago during Cinco De Mayo. We got a platter of mixed Subway sandwiches, some chicken quesideas (?sp) chesse/crackers and chips. We asked some of the guests to bring small desserts. We didn't serve any food containing a bean product or garlic/onions.

When on a hotel date, we offer the guests some light snacks. Salty nuts (no pun intended), crackers, cheese cookies, fruit muffins. Nice fruit juices an lots of mineral water. Nothing too spicy, with garlic or onions. :) We always bring our own plates and best glasses because in most hotels glasses are small, cheap or even plastic. Besides, most rooms have only 2 glasses.

Well, thank you!! Perhaps we should enjoy a meal together sometime...I travel for business and CA has often been a destination.

See my profile pictures for pictures of the July 4 2014 spread for the house parties we helped cohost. Probably heavy on this one, most a little lighter, New Year's Eve parties more because of cheap champagne for midnight toasting, then 1:30am breakfasts of sausage, bacon, eggs, toast, orange juice etc.

 

Even if you don't get laid, you never go hungry at our parties!

As a single man, I've only hosted a couple of house parties, so I stick with fruit and veggie trays or meat and cheese. I can also say , from experience........NOTHING STICKY!!!!!

One thing...I refused to have beer at my two parties. I made homemade Sangria (my own recipe) and it was well received.

Strawberries sliced in half with a honey dip (for the ladies) and mini meatballs in a warmer tray (for the guys) but not limited to.

What about fondue? I have a pot that was given to us on our wedding, (it's one of the few things my ex didn't sell or pawn), but IDK how to use it or what to put in it.

I don't know. I've never had fondue, it could be fun, especially if you make it a 60's theme. As far as recipes go, when in doubt America's Test Kitchen, or Smitten Kitchen are my go to websites.

This has been my fondue go-to recipe: Cheese Fondue Recipe : Tyler Florence : Food Network

This recipe sounds really good, so I printed it out and GF and I are going to use it this weekend. we are having a pool party and I'm always looking for new dishes to try. Thanks!! Do you think this would go well with tequila Sunrise?

I don't know what tequila Sunrise tastes like. I know that the recipe itself calls for white wine so I don't know how wine pairs with tequila. I'm sure it'll be fine though. And don't forget dippers like pieces of bread, sliced Granny Smith apples, carrots, and such.

My GF plans to have steamed veggies, some cold fruit and assorted bread bites. Plus some other canapes, on the side.

Tequila Sunrise has Tequila, orange juice, and Grenadine, and garnish. I don't really follow a recipe, but make it to taste. Like Sangria, you can make it by the pitcher.
