Bar Snacks and Nibbles - Recipes by Trevor Hopkins

I always think it's really nice to welcome guests in the bar with a good cocktail.

But it is good to have a few bar snacks and nibbles with them. Something tasty to get the taste buds going - and to sop up some of the alcohol so that no-one is drinking on a completey empty stomach.

Of course, you could just put out packaged nuts and crisps and so on, or even tortilla chips and dips ("all that opening and stiring", as Tracey would say), but here are a few very slightly more elaborate ideas.

I have also included elsewhere a few suggestions for light meals and snacks.
