Hors d'oeuvres ideas for friends with dietary restrictions?

[creemfreeshtreesh]

I'm new here and am trying to think of things I can make for 1. a vegan, and 2. someone who hates vegetables, red meat, and seafood. All I can think of right now is chicken pot stickers for friend #2. Any advice is appreciated.

Stuffed mushrooms are one of my favorites for vegans because the meaty texture of the mushrooms makes it seem a bit more hearty. Do you need to serve them at the same time? Thai salad rolls with tofu and chicken satay are both from a similar flavor palette and can be served with peanut sauce.

How about little chickpea patties (kinda like falafel) with a tamarind chutney? I'm thinking that could be vegan. Dates stuffed with a nice spiced nut and baked? Roasted mushrooms served whole on a rosemary skewer with a balsamic reduction drizzled on the top? Hummus and pita (maybe serve that also with slices of chicken sausage for the meat-eater)? Crostini topped with olive tapenade and a roasted red pepper slice?

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. You can do a mediterranean platter - hummus, maybe some baba ganoush, different kinds of olives, nuts, roasted red peppers, marinated artichokes and mushrooms.

These sprouted garbanzo patties are excellent

What about guacamole, GHG's black bean dip, different kinds of flatbread pizzas, a polenta bar, taco bar, asian lettuce wraps with both the typical chicken filling but also a tofu option? Fresh fruit is always a good option in my opinion.

Are these the only 2 guests, or just 2 picky eaters in a larger group?
