Then abandon cutlery, in favour of sticky finger-licking food, then. Food you can feed eachother...

I'm going to do sausages and cheese & pickled onions on sticks stuck into half an orange wrapped in tinfoil.

Reliving the olden days.

Maybe some vol au vents with cold mushroom soup in them too.

We’re low carb so cheese, pate and non-breaded/pastry meat snacks play a big part! If in doubt, a platter full of pigs in blankets and some Applewood cheese would sort me out

Quick and easy

Buy the pre rolled puff pastry

Jar of small sweet hot peppers

Spinach and some feta cheese

Make as a sheet like a big pizza or I’ve made into small tarts.

Yummy and look great

Those Camembert baked with sausage and pastry so it's all in one but you tear off the little sausage roll type things and dip them in the Camembert.

I saw it on YouTube, never done it though

EVERYTHING looks easy on YT. The times I've watched someone style their hair and think "ooo I'll try that" three hours later I'm an hysterical, weeping mess with a haystack on my head.

Chocolate fruit kebabs on skewers. Dip the fruit in melted choc then chuck them in the fridge to harden.

You see this is my type of cooking. I don't want to be slaving over a hot stove but I'd happily dip fruit in chocolate and roll out a sheet of puff pastry.
