I like shrimpies. :P
I think a lot of other people do too, they seem to go fast.
I love the rolls, oh I made these avocado and sun dried tomato eggrolls before and they are the bomb!! PM if you want the recipe and I'll dig it out for you. You could do bacn wrapped shrimp - a friend and I just did this a few weeks ago with jumbo frozen shrimp and turkey bacon and they were awesome. Plus really easy to do. And I LOVE LOVE cheese, so anything cheesy would be good. You could do a cold layer dip (cheese, guac, salsa, whatever you want) that you can make beforehand.
Stuffed mushrooms are delicious...well actually, pretty much all your poll choices sound yummy. :)
One of my all time favorites is brie en croute. It is super easy to make and very elegant. Just get a wheel of brie and some puff pastry. Wrap the brie in the puff pastry and seal the edges with egg wash. You can also make some cool designs (like holly leaves) with some extra pastry. Then put egg wash on the top. Bake until golden. You can also add jams and nuts either on top of the brie inside the pastry, or serve on the side for people to add if they want. Delicious!
i wouldnt be able to choose just one appetizer since i love appetizers so much more then a meal. i have been making a super easy cheeseball that everyone loves. but i am definitely in the dips and spread category.
Mmmm now i want food, lol. I found this nommy recipe for a jalapeno popper dip...it's just mayo, cream cheese, canned chopped chiles and peppers, and you cover it with parmesan cheese and panko crumbs. Sounds weird but my husband looooooves jalapeno poppers. It sounds promising, lol.
Man, now i want a big fattening snack. No, EJS, no!
We do rollups. Ham or turkey with cream cheese and green onion. Yum! Quick, easy, and delicious!
I'm a big fan of either your basic chilled shrimp with cocktail sauce, or crab/spinach and artichoke dip with bread dippers. Yum!
Okay, now I'm hungry ...
Yes to everything?
In all seriousness, I think my favorite appetizers are seafoody things--either shrimp cocktail or crab cakes.
I'm a HUGE fan of apps.
Some of my "hits" have been:
Salsa strips - Buy crescent roll dough (if you can find the Pillsbury seamless sheets, they are amazing). Spread flat on a cookie sheet. Mix about 1/2 cut of medium salsa with a tablespoon of mustard (I use semi-spicy mustard, but I like the kick). Spread the salsa mixture on top of the dough. Cook at 350 for about 10 minutes, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top. Cook for another 10/until brown. Let cool a little and cut into slices. Top with cilantro (optional).
Meatballs - Put one jar of chili sauce, one can of cranberry sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and a tablespoon of lemon juice in crockpot. Put on low for about an hour so you can mix it together. Either make your own meatballs or use the frozen store mini-meatballs (can be added frozen). Put meatballs into the crockpot, mix, cover and wait a couple hours.

I love Caprese Tomato Bites! They are easy to make, delicious and not too heavy that you'll ruin dinner!
Just had them on Thanksgiving!
I voted wraps/rolls, seafood is my 2nd favorite. I absolutely love dumplings as an appetizer and hope to have a dumpling station at my wedding :)
Water chestnuts wrapped in bacon, baked, smothered in BBQ sauce, then baked again. Or sausage stuffed mushrooms. Or pizza dip.
Um... I need to go find food...
THERE WERE SO MANY DELICIOUS CHOICES THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WHICH TO CHOOSE.
And now I need to eat lunch.
Here's a good, easy seafood dip best with buttery crackers.
Spread cream cheese out on a plate. Dump CHILI SAUCE on it (it's not chili tasting, but more like cocktail with less bite and more smooth. Heinz makes it. It's weird, but good), then spread on canned shrimp or canned crab.
Yum.
OOOOOO dumplings, how coudl I have forogtten?! The asian in me is thrilled.
Suddenly my lunch seems so sucky!
I have a great shrimp and artichoke dip recipe, if you'd like it.
Generally, I will eat whatever you put in front of me, be it cheese and crackers or eggrolls. I'm not sure to how to classify favorites though since it depends on what meal is being served afterward. For example, chips and salsa is yummy but I wouldn't expect it to precede a meal of Asian food. If you want favorites in general, I would say cheese/meat/cracker platters, chips and salsa, chicken salad puffs, eggrolls, coconut shrimp, chicken tenders, mozarella sticks,
An easy suggestion. You can take a circle of brie cheese, cut the rind off, and bake it with pastry dough ( pre-bought) wrapped around the outside. It's AWESOME and easy. I had it at a wedding I photographed and then made it later and it was really simple to do.
Shrimp shrimp shrimp shrimp shrimpshrimpshrimpshrimp!!!
Aw....now I really want some shrimp.... :(
I didn't know which to choose. My fav orite app to bring to parties that is always a huge hit is baked brie. I get a brie wheel, slice it in half (so you have two circles) coa one half in raspberry preserves/jam and then cover over that with toasted sliced almond. Wrap the whole thin in puff pastry dough and throw it in the oven for 30 min. Yum!
Um, can I say all of the above?? If my mother wouldn't die... I'd totally throw a tapas style reception! Yum-O!
I voted for a bread appy though. I love fresh baguettes possibly more than I love my FI! lol bruschetta all. the. way!
I voted for pastry bites, but really my answer would be all of the above :)
ejs, I've made that jalapeno popper dip a couple of times and it is soooo good! I could eat the whole thing myself. It goes well with toasted slices of french bread.
Shrimp and cheese, lol,,.just not together =]
This brie thing sounds popular! Can't believe I've never had it. I might have to try that since it's so darn popular! GOtta please a crowd! =]
Is it bad that it's 8am, i'm having my coffee, and all I can think about is a bunch of appetizers for breakfast? =]
Mmm so many good options! I vote for a spinach dip (my dad has one that is to die for!) or anyting cheese! I love fondue, its great for crowds :)
i really like pastry bites, so i chose that as my #1..but then again, i loooove dips too, esp spinach/artichoke dip..yyummm i'm getting hungryy!!!
Oh dear... I don't think I could ever choose my favorite appetizer. I love them all!! If I were going to make one for a party though, I am highly partial towards the raspberry baked brie recipe from epicurious. It is super-yum!
When I want to impress, I make truffled white bean dip and serve it with pita chips or toasted baguette rounds. It's easy and everyone loves it. (If you don't have white truffle oil, it's good with a few roasted garlic cloves.)
I'm the QUEEN of appetizers in my friend group.
I usually bring a dark rum, pecan and brown sugar glazed cooked brie. The recipe is HERE. That goes quick with sliced apples, crackers and bread. Mmmm! ALSO, I like to grab a baguette, slice it, and make mini paninis using my cast iron pan and a heavy pot to press down the bread while it crisps in butter. For fillings, the biggest hits are mini-cubans (ham, cheese, pickle) and mini-paninis with goat cheese, honey, and sliced pears. Whatever is seasonal is best, of course.
Camembert baked in its box with some bread to dip into it is one of the tastiest things ever. All you do is buy one in a wooden box, take it out of any plastic wrapping inside, put back into box, bake for 15 minutes, make some slits on top for the cheese to come out of and you're done!

Yes, I'm already thinking about what AWESOME dish to bring to my SIL's for Christmas. I bring dessert typically, but man, we had 9 desserts last week so I am bringing a pre-dinner snack now. We usually have lil smokies and chips and french onion dip...but that's it.
So what do you like to munch on, pre-major-holiday-dinner-food style? Last time I made southwestern egg rolls with phyllo dough. Never again! Phyllo is a pain--I'd do real eggroll wrappers if I did them again.
And, if you can't think of anything specific (or if you just want to..) vote on a category. =]
