What kind of appetizers do you like to fix and/or eat? Appetizers aren't a
regular thing for me but sometimes they're fun and good!

Sometimes when I eat out, I'll get an appetizer instead of a main meal to save
some money. One of my favorites are potato skins.
The other evening when at a Christmas dinner a number of appetizers were
served. One that I really enjoyed was cream cheese covered with [apricot?]
jam and something that wasn't too hot but it definitely had a kick to it [I'm
not sure what that something was; any ideas?] served with crackers. Another
good one was one of those layered dips served with tortilla chips.
Recently I received a gift pack from Hickory Farms that includes some beef[?]
sausages as well as some cheese balls. Though I haven't tried this yet, I did
buy some crackers to go with this stuff.

I think it depends on the meal I'm serving. We had a barbecue for my
husband's car club last February - the barbecue was catered in, so I
handled appetizers and desserts. I think I did spinach artichoke dip,
a 7 layer dip, a veggie tray, deviled eggs and homemade hummus.
I know what you mean though - I sometimes get apps as they tend to be
less food and cheaper.

I generally eat appetizers as a meal if I can find a good one. I rarely
eat appetizers as they are intended.
My three main appetizers I like to get when available are:
Seared Ahi Tuna with wasabi
Lettuce wraps
Hummus (though I prefer to dip in veggies than bread)
For home use, I rarely make an appetizer other than shrimp cocktail or
chips & salsa.

Oooh - I do love seared Ahi Tuna.....and lettuce wraps rock too. I
sat next to a manager for the PF Cheng's in Lansing(?) and he said the
lettuce wraps were the #1 appetizer.

Veggie trays are almost always good [as I prefer raw vegetables over cooked
ones--except for yucky things like broccoli and cauliflour that often show
up on these trays; these 2 things aren't good whatever way their served!]
Deviled eggs are always good, too, as is the hummus. Hmm, I've never had a
lettuce wrap though I remember seeing someone at another table having what
appeared to be some kind of lettuce wrap...
