There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.


Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

Ive got

  • potato chips
  • cheese (gouda or medium cheddar, sharper would be fine)
  • cherry tomatoes
  • pickles
  • celery
  • raspberries + mixed/"field" berries (strawberry, blackberry, blueberry)
  • chicken breast slices/strips

I like to combine these and pick at them

Mine often have the following ingredients:

  • cheeses: gruyère, emmenthal, parmesan, brie, provolone, mozzarella
  • cold cuts: salami, capocollo, ham, head cheese
  • carb: toasts, crackers, tortilla chips, potato chips, pretzel sticks
  • goop: chicken liver pâte, gorgonzola bruschetta, aioli
  • preserves: olives, pickled cucumbers, pickled pears, dates, 1/8-sliced eggs
  • fresh stuff: cherry tomatoes, pineapples, melons, strawberries, lettuce

Relevant to note I'm not adding all of that to a single table. We (my family) usually pick some of those items, depending on availability, price, mood, whatever. And most of the time we have hors d'œuvre it actually replaces a meal, instead of being a pre-meal. (Unless it's something really fancy and really late, like New Year Eve's supper.)
