what to serve
 

I would like to have a few friends of mine over some evening after dinner to
play board games. I would like to serve a few appetizers, food pickups, and
then finish the evening off with dessert and coffee and tea. Now, I can't
serve the wrapped brie idea, that I recently posted, because the lady that
gave me that recipe is one of the people whom I would be inviting; any
ideas?

Hummus & wedges of pita bread. Also goes well with rye & caraway flavors.
Tough recipe: Buy container of hummus, open it, place in nice serving dish
with spoon.

Seasoned baked potato and yam fries always went over well here when I
had Dungeons and Dragons games back in college......

Pizza crackers perhaps? Take some Ritz crackers and place a small bit of
meat on them (Pepperoni or pre-cooked sausage works), one slice of roma
tomato, a bit of minced black olive, a sprinkle of garlic powder and
black pepper, top with mozarella cheese and nuke' it.

There is an entire world of appetizers. :-)

Substitute some cocktail shrimps for the meat in the above recipe.

Corn chips with a variety of dips are never out of order, nor are cheese
logs and crackers.

pfoley,

If it's Clue, it's gotta be crab salad sandwiches with lump crab, mayo,
green onion, etc., with artichoke hearts on small, thin pumpernickel
squares, sliced diagonally into quarters (one heart each), and
toothpicked, in the Library?

brie in puff pastry shell with loganberry preserves.

Purchase puff pastry shells, bake said shells;

remove tops on shells insert 1 tbsp brie and 1 tbsp preserves (approx),
warm in oven till brie melts approx 20 minutes or so; serve.

Raspberry preserves will work in a pinch but not as tasty.

A lot depends on if you will eat while playing, or before. Some things are
difficult to eat, as you sit with a game board, cards etc. in front of you.
If you will snack while you play, I would go for easy finger foods like
small one bite pizzas, or other one bite appetizers..There are many. Also
simple things like nuts, (maybe macadamias) cheese, small pieces of fruit
would be good.

You can over think some things.

Dungeons and Dragons? My son used to play that game years ago; very
intense game; lots of play acting. Do people still play that game?
That cracker pizza sounds good; will it hold all that stuff on it without
breaking?

Since it's after dinner, I would serve various desserts and fruit kabobs
with a few dishes of salted nuts. If you must have something savory,
I'd try finger rolls with ham salad, chicken salad, and crab or tuna salad.

Wrap fresh figs in something bacony, bake. Or do the same with dates. Or

I know, I think most people like things that aren't too fattening also. So
the fruit and maybe the veggies with dips and nuts would be good to have. I
would also like to try a couple of these other great ideas that everyone is
posting just to have something a little different.

That is a good idea with the tortillas; never thought of baking them in
cupcake tins and filling them; you could fill them with anything. I suppose
they would be best in small cupcake tins.

Most likely. :-)
You can still find the lead miniatures at gaming places and the books
and stuff on ebay. Internet roll playing games has taken the place of a
lot of it tho'.

And there are more "roll playing" games now than just D&D.

Yes. Just layer it thinly and put the cheese on top. The cheese "glues"
it altogether.

Cracker pizzas are a classic midnight snack. <G>

Ooh, game night! One of my favorite ways to have friends over too! This
should be fun:

Why not try rumaki/water chestnuts wrapped in bacon? Individual Belgian
endive leaves filled with chopped smoked salmon & caper salad or even
easier, Boursin cheese is also good. Easy to pick up and not messy,
since the leaves hold everything in.

Or you could take two puff pastry sheets, spread a little mustard on
one and cover with shredded gruyere, place the other sheet on top, roll
out a bit, cut into squares and bake at 400 until golden. You can do
everything ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when it's time.

You could do an antipasto plate with rolled up salami, hams, cheeses,
olives, etc. All do-ahead also.

Teeny baked potatoes split on top and filled with a blue cheese & sour
cream mixture, or any topping you prefer. These are good & filling and
are OK left at room temp for a while.

You of course could then fill out your table with easy stuff like
veggies & dip, cut-up fruit, chips & salsa, breads, etc.

Have fun!

Along with some of the other suggested foods, add some ABTs.

They are much better if smoked, but if you don't have a smoker, you
can (sigh) cook them in the oven.

Here's a basic "recipe"

12 fresh Jalapenos
8 oz block cream cheese, at room temperature
Some sort of meat product
1 lb bacon, thin cut

Wearing gloves, cut jalapenos in half, remove stem, seeds, and white
ribs. Fill jalapeno halves with softened cream cheese, insert the meat
(I use BBQed brisket, pulled pork, small shrimp, etc.) then wrap each
in a slice (or half slice, if using smaller jalapenos) of bacon. Use
a toothpic to hold the bacon if necessary.

Smoke (bake, if you must) at 300F for 30 minutes, or until bacon is
golden brown. Serve and eat!

Nope. Armadillo eggs are completely different. They would be good
for this party also, but they are a completely different animal.

Along those same lines, some light cheeses and crackers and maybe a
light dessert wine would be good.

Google is your friend. Armadillo eggs are covered with some sort of a

They sound kind of hot to me.

I have done the same using thinly sliced pepperonie too, very tastey.

Also the "poppers" that are mentioned. You can buy them frozen from the
grocery store and they are horrible, but I love my home made poppers, hotter
the better... because that usualy means more for me :-)

Hot can be good tho'. In Texas, most people consider jalapanos to be
mild. You want hot, go with habaneros. <lol>

I don't know _anyone_ that eats those stuffed!

The cream cheese cools them down somewhat.

I agree that the ones from the grocery store are not very good, but the
ones from Jack in the Box are not bad.

Best takeout ones come from "Pat's Place" in New Braunfels. They come in
both cream cheese and cheddar.

Their deep fried pickle chips are excellent too! ;-d

I've never tried making _those_ at home yet, despite my interests in
deep frying. <G>

After dinner, eh? I'm probably in the minority here, but I'd only have
"table snacks" on the tables. I'm thinking back to my Bridge days.
Nuts, M&Ms, hard candy, pastel mints, rice crackers, Goldfish, stuff
like that. Small bowls, for a table of four, two bowls per table (so
you don't have to reach.) JMO. And then you're going to feed them
coffee and dessert. Plenty. Plenty.

I've just read the other posts and I'm more convinced than ever that my
idea is best. :-) You want food that doesn't require flatware and is
not messy!! Nothing wet. Nothing you have to wipe your fingers after
eating. Bridge mix. Nuts. Mints. Small crackers. If these folks
*hadn't already had dinner* I'd let you do some hors' d'oeuvres things.

Barb, I agree. I remember when Mother played bridge in a regular
group. Nibbles that did not mess the fingers and the playing cards.
Usually a dessert and coffee (or tea) at the end of the evening. When
I played in organized bridge games it was food afterward. Some people
are very serious about their games and are not at all happy when they
get sticky cards and game pieces.

Kick up the wrapped Brie to a new level. Bake it in phyllo pastry and top it
with cranberry sauce.
