My friend and I go to beer tastings every few months at a brew place in Jersey. There is a somewhat dinner served afterwards, very small. Some people bring things to nibble on during the tastings, there's about 8 beers, takes maybe 2 hours. Last time we went, I decided to bring some nice nibbles for us.
there were just two of us---about half a loaf of that Rubeschlager bread, about 4 inches square slices. 8 ounces of smoked salmon, cream cheese with chives. Fixed up a fancy plate for us, so we could make some smoked salmon appetizers. You could add capers and red onion if you like.
Red grapes
some salty snacky thing, mixed. Like a trail mix but more elegant, find it in the health food store.
Well, he was floored! This went over very well. It was perfect. Much better than the sandwich we got afterwards.
So I vote on the smoked salmon appys.
