What is a "Light Supper?"

Cold meats and pickles? Then they could choose their own amounts?

**zazen999** · 27-12-2010, 09:16 PM

Add a potato salad in there as well. Crackers, cheese and a glass of wine possibly?

Why don't you do canapes or savoury and sweet nibbles, Northepaul , then they can pick and choose what they want?
For us a light supper is beans or cheese on toast.

Sounds like what my lot call a "stuff lunch" cos it's full of stuff

As the others have suggested, I'd go with nibbly bits as well ..........You could always have some mincepies, or maybe christmas cake if you want something sweet.

oh, definitely nibby bits, although you can end up eating more than if you had a sit down dinner

Totally agree, we did that Christmas Eve , and then started having little tasters of rhubarb voddy etc.......

I'd say that 'light supper' was more than just those little cocktail snacks, but less than a buffet - maybe (say) pizza/quiche slices, cheese straws, tacos & dips. Then maybe something like a few warmed mince pies?

Something simple, for us at home it would be a small bowl of soup and some salad. Or something like a cold meat salad. Nothing in the full scale meal mentions. And yes, desert if you felt like it

**zazen999** · 27-12-2010, 09:46 PM

I suppose it also means; don't expect us to eat loads as we get bad indigestion!

**northepaul** · 27-12-2010, 10:07 PM

Thanks all for your suggestons,
Maybe then:
some salad, (traditional stuff like lettuce, toms etc) home made bread, cheeses (OH got loads for christmas), ham (done myself

), pickles and chutneys (again my own)..??
Maybe colslaw?

I have loads of mincemeat left, so could make a mincemeat and apple flan and serve with ice cream??

...sounds lovely!!..I'll be in Portsmouth for the ferry early afternoon- so I'll bob in en route eh???

**Bramble_killer** · 27-12-2010, 10:19 PM

yum! Shall we all pop round for a light supper? I love coleslaw and ham, all mushed up in the same plate

**Patchninja** · 28-12-2010, 09:22 AM

Nicos, bring some back for me. Sounds delish!
