Cheese & Crackers... thats all you need.

maroush

Oh stop with this cheese and crackers business already.... are you a genetically modified human-mouse hybrid that you crave cheese and crackers all the time ?

RupayHalwa

Ecoute vous, madame! Le Fromage et Cwaqueurs c'est tres bon!


Alors! Je n'ai pas un mouse de genetique modifique, desole.

Bon apetite pendant que vous mangez le fromage et les qwaqueurs!

And by the way, along with cheeseboard and crackers (IF YOU DON'T MIND FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!) you could have a selection of marinated olives, sunblush tomatoes, cold giant butter beans in tomato sauce, pitta bread pieces and hummous, melon platter, salmon mousse, caviar, champagne, oh sorry, I mean elderflower and white grape sparkling cordial.

I love chocolate strawberries.... they are a tasty snack and are VERY easy to make. I found a little white chocolate container at bloom. It has little pieces of chocolate inside and you stick it in the microwave, and than dip the strawberries in it. SO EASY!!!!!! You just have to make sure you dont microwave it for too long or it burns...

maroush

mon dieu! You're a french speaking human-mouse hybrid that has been genetically modified...

Either that, or really good at using web translating resources

maroush

And yes, there is nothing wrong with a cheeseboard, so long as it's good quality and not cheap chedder or that spray can cheese whizz stuff that the yanks like

*Plusha*

mangoes with fresh cream (chilled)
tuna on garlic bread
russian salad
falafel with pita bread
mini pizzas
zaatar and olive oil with pita
potato skins with cheese
fried bread slices with different topping lyk chicken mayo or tuna or egg mayo
tika boti on shashlik sticks
cheese samosas

RupayHalwa

Non, non, je parlez un petite peut de francais, mais its been a long time since I had anyone to parlez with. Comprendez vous??? Pardon le spelling.

Cheat and use the web? Would never dream of it, that is a slanderous attempt at the character assassination of the Halwa.

maroush

Qu'est ce que toi ferais sans moi?

hmmmm, pas mal, pas mal.....

Now stop dreailing NJ's thread and offer her advice for food that does not include your diet of cheese and crackers!

redvelvet

fruit salad/lemonade

potato salad
creamy pasta salads
deviled-eggs
aaloo chaat
sandwiches
bread/crackers with some type of spread (hummus, cheese, tapenade)
chicken wings

Here is a pic of strawberries stuffed with whipped cream. You make slits in the strawberries and fill the opening with cream. It makes for a pretty presentation and healthy snack:
