Why these 3 Finger Foods are Better than a Buffet
Have you ever tried to eat standing up at a buffet-style party? Attempting to juggle the utensils, a plate full of food, and drinks while talking to guests takes one more set of hands than we all have.
Inevitably, we leave our drink somewhere we don't remember, accidentally drop our plate of food, or disengage in conversation while we try to eat quickly to get rid of our plate.
Unless you have enough seating and table space for plates to be placed, then a better alternative is an appetizer and cocktail party .
Finger foods that are scrumptious bites of flavors accompanied by a cocktail or glass of wine are the perfect complement to lingering conversation.
These 3 appetizers will impress even your foodie guests. And work well together.
Serve alongside seasonal veggies and dip, and a meat and cheese board, and you are all set.
Congratulations! You have created a party feast without the hassle of finding additional seating, tables or chafing dishes.
