Spinach-Artichoke dip served with pita chips. I’ve been told not to show up to parties without it… By family members…

I love shrimp!

I like almost all appetizers. One of our favorites is pâté with bread or crackers.

I do!
I’ll send it tomorrow, my brains fried at the moment

Here’s the recipe, you can halve it for fewer guests.

I'm easy to please. I like rippled potato chips and Dean's sour cream and onion dip. Double dipping is optional because I have my own dip. No touch my dip please.

Huh. There's always an almond encrusted cheese ball with crackers, but this is the first time I've ever thought to consider it an appetizer. All the food is set out together, so I've just considered it one of the sides. Other items (scrabble mix, nuts, jalapeño poppers, fruits, chips, etc) were and are an everyday, all day thing so long as guests are present for any reason, so they've never felt specific to the holiday. I guess in my mind an appetizer is strictly a restaurant affectation. I've never really thought about this before.

You betcha, with the hot cocktail sauce and lemon! Will be picking up tomorrow for Christmas Eve get together. At the least 5 lbs. I'll be making the sauce.
