What else to have?

[eaglelake]

I am having about 8 people in for a kind of "finger food" get-together...having ribs, wings, shrimp, potato skin strips, garlic bread...what else should I have - vegetable? Any help is very much appreciated.

stuffed mushrooms. fill with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated cheese, chopped fresh spinach, sauteed onions, and a bit of mayo (or an egg and a drizzle of olive oil.)

I thank you people for all these GREAT suggestions - I really like the asparagus - & the stuffed mushrooms seems to fit so well with this theme of "finger-type food". the other ideas are also great - but I think time-wise - I'll go with the asparagus & mushrooms.

Thanks so mch - I really like both of those ideas - as asparagus season is just approching - the asparagus sounds great...what kind of dip?

[Jennalynn]

So many.

If you feel ambitious, a classic hollandaise is always right.
Sour cream mixed with horseradish and dill.
Mayo mixed with capers.
Take a jar of roasted red peppers and whiz it up in a food processor. Done!
Hummus, homemade or pick up a package at the store.
Blue Cheese dressing... again, homemade or store bought.

I can come up with more if you need ; )

You could always roast asparagus wrapped in prosicutto, no dip needed!

I make a finger food app that is endive leaves, stuffed with camembert and drizzled with a good quality aged balsamic (or a reduced to syrup cheaper balsamic)
Easy to do and sooo yummy!

foodsnob14, i make something similar and it's always a hit as well! i fill baby belgian endive leaves with the top third with third crumbled feta, the middle third with honey-roasted walnuts, and the bottom third with a partial orange slice (peeled). after i assemble everything, i drizzle them with a semi-cooled honey-balsamic vinegar reduction (until it's thick and syrupy) and top with chopped chives. the salty-nutty-sweet-sour combo is delicious. i got the recipe from a good friend of mine, and it's always a winner! eaglelake, hope this helps!
