I'm looking for suggestions for appetizers that can easily be eaten with your fingers. My wife and I are part of a group that gets together at different members houses for a wine tasting. Everyone brings an appetizer or dessert to share. There are a couple of people who are serious about wine, but most of us just get together to enjoy some wine and socialize. The requirements are:
- Can be transported to someone's house, and no ovens are available.
- Can be consumed while standing with a glass of wine in one hand. Under the best of circumstances this is a bit of a challenge for those of us with less than three hands.
Dips, spreads, etc. tend to be a little difficult to eat under the circumstances. I'm trying to avoid some of the obvious rollups or mini sandwiches. In the past I've made some small pizzas and had them ready sliced, and that worked out pretty well. I'm thinking that bite size skewers might work, such as a caprese salad (mozzzarella cubes, grape tomato, and basil). I stumbled across a recipe for a watermelon, feta, and kalamata olive skewer (and I doubt that anyone else would make this!).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
