Last weekend my mother in-law helped to prepare the starters for one of her grandkids birthday party. She is really creative and wanted to get the little ones to eat at least some vegetables. She called this creation cucumber lollipops to make it more appealing to the kids. The birthday boy choose to serve them as mingle food while the guest were arriving. They went away in a blink of an eye.
A typical cheesy dish to eat in the winter, made of potatoes, bacon, reblochon or a camembert cheese, and onions. To spice up the dish you can pour some white wine in the dish, and then serve the same wine to the dinner.
This is one of the classic Alsatian Christmas cookies called sand bredele. They are named sand bredele because it feels like soft sand when you prepare the dough. It is common to change the taste by adding vanilla, rum, orange, citron, cinnamon or ginger, and you will find them in many different shapes as well.
Looking for an inspiration for a different appetizer, mingle food or to bring on a picnic? Why not trying one of these cake salé, also known as salty bread or savory cake.
These breads are filled with different kinds of cheese and other salty ingredients.
