potluck ideas?

it'd impossible for me to make anything, so would anybody know where i could get something good for a potluck office lunch? i was thinking more of hors d' oeuvres (somebody's bringing a meat/rice casserole and a whole slew of people are bringing desserts), but i'd welcome all suggestions.

thanks.

    Go to Alex Cheese (St. Lawrence Market, Danforth, Yonge and Eglinton, Manulife Centre). Pick up two or three raw-milk cheeses and a couple of fresh baguettes. Yum!

      Frankly, good bread is what comes to mind for me. But it helps that I'm a bread addict.

        Honestly, some of the President's Choice appetisers are amazing. Chatelaine magazine did a piece about this, even Sobeys got a mention for spring rolls. Presidents Choice (Loblaws) for samosas, even M&M got mentioned for tomato and provolone party spirals.

          Do you have an area in which you'd prefer to shop for the pot luck?

              I would go to goldstone on Spadina just south of Dundas to pick up 2 or 3 lbs of sliced BBQ pork and perhaps some Roasted Pork too. Then big up some crusty breads. Hot mustard would be a great addition.
