I remember the nibbles.

A cheese cube on a toothpick, with a tiny red (or green) pickled onion.

I remember devils on horseback.





My mother made them all the time.

I loved them!

"Horse Doovers". 

Angels on Horseback (Smoked olives wrapped in bacon and put under the grill).





PS Just for Aussie.  I got this picture off the Net, so don't get paranoid. 

I guess that people don't entertain at home any more but we did a lot in the 70s when I was very young and first married.

Here is something nice to have with a drinkies.

Crab Fritters with Avocado Dip

500g crab meat
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 spring onions, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh coriander (chopped)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 eggs slightly beaten
oil for shallow frying

Avocado Dip

1 small ripe avocado
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup plain yoghurt
1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 180C. Combine crap meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, spring onions, coriander, lemon juice and eggs in a large bowl.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan.  Drop tablespoons of mixture into pan. Cook over medium heat for around 2 minutes, or until golden.   Turn and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel.  Keep cakes warm in oven. Repeat with remaining mixture.  Add more oil to pan, as necessary.

Avocado Dip    

Place avocado, garlic, yogurt and water in food processor.  Process 10 seconds until smooth.  Serve at room temperature.



NB for Aussie.  No Internet picture as this is a "secret" recipe.

Lurk?  How does one lurk on a Forum one is a Member of?  I do read most the place and you can be sure my attention will be attracted if my name is mentioned.

You want genuine Indian curry recipes?  Do what you always do?  Fake it with google.

Here's a tip.  "Add according to taste."

What 'angst?'  You mention me....I respond.  How hard is that to understand?
