Thread: Starter Idea Please

Hi,
I am having a dinner party tomorrow night & am stuck for a starter, I was going to just make some soup but the weather is going to be too nice for soup. Main course is Albondigas with Patatas Bravas & roasted mediterranean veg (from the World of flavours cookbook) and dessert will be the white chocolate & ginger cheesecake from the magazine.

Any ideas for the starter? I don't like pate but I was thinking of making a bruschetta type thing but I don't know how too.

I am going to Sainsburys in a couple of hours to get anything so any help much appreciated!

How about some mini quiches or prawn cocktail glasses

stuffed mushrooms or peppers make a nice starter with some salad
just rice boiled in stock with veggies for them peppers, and some flavoured philli mixed softened grated carrot and small shopped onion top with a few breadrumbs and some cheese for the mushrooms

i made the creamy garlic mushrooms from here the other night n they were lush cud have them with some toasted bread!
