Get the Party Started
There are a number of reasons you might serve an appetizer. Aside from giving guests something to nibble on before a meal (often as an accompaniment for a cocktail), appetizers may hint at the type of feast to come or stimulate one's appetite for a meal. They're also darn useful for keeping guests occupied while you make last-minute meal preparations.
While you may offer such a pre-meal snack for many reasons, you also don't need an excuse to make them. Plenty of parties are built solely around hors d'oeuvres – and for good reason. A variety of foods in lots of small bites is fun! An appetizer-themed potluck is a common way for many Minnesotans to ring in the New Year. Below are our picks for tiny tastes that are great no matter when or why you serve them:
- Jalapeño Popper Smoked Salmon Spread (from the Meat Department)
