Let's Talk Menus

GatorD

FI and I are trying to work on our menu a bit.  We are having trouble coming up with ideas for appetizers.  Here is what we have so far:1. Seared sesame tuna bites2. Cocktail shrimp (a must for his side of the fam)3. Mini empanadasWhat are you ladies doing? I could really use some inspiration!

So far we have a seared tuna, some chicken avocado wonton thing and a tomato and goat cheese cup/tart thing. We need to do tasting just for this b/c I want to add a 4th and I can't make up my mind.

We had mini kobe beef burgers, bacon wrapped scallops, and a fruit & cheese display.

Kappa- I was thinking fruit & cheese display, too.  FI isn't wild about the idea (he is not a big cheese fan which boggles the mind), but I've always thought it was a crowd pleaser.

And remember, he probably won't be seeing much of hte Cheese plate anyway...lol.We are having :Shrimp CoctailRisotto BallsSpring RollsWe might add bruscetta, but hte catering manger is concerned we have too much food, as we will also have the antipasto once we go inside.

How do you not like cheese? We're not having apps, we're going literally from our ceremony site through a door to the reception site and the party is going to start then. We are planning to have popcord on the tables so I guess that would serve as an app.

How is it possible for someone not to like cheeeeese?!  haha  I think the display went over pretty well.  Our menu had a lot of meat on it so we needed at least one (somewhat) healthy option lol.
