It is "salad weather" here now, but I am not so sure about the soup -
bit hot at the moment. But there are some really good ideas here. Couple
of people have mentioned fruit platters - am going to go for that too.

The good news is: I finally got an email from the contact person saying
that there are "no dietary restrictions" for the delegates. That makes
life a bit easier.
