American English dominates the Board. LOL

I’m Canadian so I learned English, Canadian and American spelling.

appetizer snack thingy

What are the most common appetizers or hors d’oeuvres at parties, where you live?

Cooked vegetable starter for Christmas dinner?

What’s your favorite homemade dip recipe?

Also, some call them apps or appies. Or starters.

Need advice with two party apps pls!

For a crudite platter, what do you all think is the best dressing or dip to use? I personally hate ranch and would not like to make that and then have leftovers. I’d go blue cheese but am afraid people don’t like it? Prefer to purchase as I’ve already bitten off more than I can chew for this party. Also, I’m doing little canapés of lox on pump and rye. Likely topped with dill. What spread for the bread? Cream cheese? Butter? Butter mixed with whole grain mustard? Crème fraiche mixed with a bit …

I mostly make dips: tzatziki, guacamole, melitzanosalata.

I also stuff mushrooms and dates fairly often.

Super Bowl Eats

Are your super bowl treats San Francisco and Kansas City centric, or just standard party fare? Dungeness crab and brisket along with spring rolls and deep fried tacos. Italian Steak sandwiches and Mission burritos. How close am I?

What's your signature party snack that everyone expects you to bring?

Is it a dip or spread, balls of some sort, a stuffed something or other, or just a bag of Takis and bottle of Cuervo?
