my mother used to make a different kind of cheesy nibbles for visitors



cut celery stalks in about 2" pieces, then fill the hollow with a cream cheese

Sylvia I may just do such a classy thing - as well as pineapple chunks

Gins can you help me with the butter spreading - we always need a hand with that sort of thing and Renes can you help with the stirring - we need a good mix for the cakes

I will call in with some Canapés if that's ok ?

Don't forget to put Royal icing on those buns.......


and a word of warning..........don't let Gins loose near the cold meats. Each slice once had a face.....as she keeps telling us........over and over and over and over....sigh.

Errol or shou,d I say ...... chef de partie

I am sure if you call for stirrers .....

you will find many more proficient than I

perhaps we can send an assortment of sarnies. to Buck House .....

I can do a grapefruit covered in tinfoil, with cheese and pineapple on sticks stuck in it.

Don't suppose you'll want the lamb samosas?

Sylvia, my mum made those celery things - used to use Primula cheese in a tube.

For the cheese and pineapple

10 points for the .... can o' peas Errol ......

MC .............


you are actually the first personIi've "met" who has had those celery sticks before!!


I guess it must have been in a magazine or newspaper article on what the posh people are serving at their garden and cocktail parties this year :-D


Mum may have used a processed cheese ................. I changed it to cream cheese when I made them in the 70s.

Sylvia - I remember those in the 70's. My husband-to-be introduced me to my future m.i.l, who was preparing for a cocktail party. I asked her if I could help and that's the job she gave me to do. I've never done them since - don't know why, because they were quite nice. Maybe I should have a cocktail party - falls over larfing in the shrubbery at the thought :-D

what about jelly babies
would offer you one but just ate them all :-D :-D

calls by with coronation chicken, mini sausage rolls and individual wibbly wobbly strawberry jellies :-D

My OH's Gran used to make those celery sticks with cream cheese too Sylvia. I hate celery. I remember trying to eat one so as not to offend :-)

...Sets out dishes of Celebrations sweets on the tables.
