Starter ideas for Xmas dinner?

[Amanda]

I'm stuck and can't decide. It'll be just me, DH, Kayleigh and Charlie eating.

I'll eat pretty much anything, although I won't have soup for a starter as i think it's too filling.

Kayleigh won't eat mushrooms.

DH won't eat any seafood.

So thats soup, prawn cocktail, smoked salmon and stuffed mushrooms out!

Hellpp!!!!!!

Pate?

we often have had before little veg spring rolls, prawn toast etc and chilli dip, like all the little 'snacks' you get to share as a starter - sounds odd, but it's just something different x

Bruschetta or melon and thinly sliced parma ham x

We've never had a starter as I think its to much but you could do some sort of soufle? Melon and parama ham?

 

[NuKe]

stuffed peppers? not very xmassy but all i can think of is seafood!

 

[Lexx]

Grilled brieor mozerlla?

I was considering doing soup but like you thought it would be too filling and thinking of something else.. could just do a little salad? Like rucculoa with cherry tomatos and parmesan shavings with balsamic vinegar. Parma ham would go with that too.

Thanks everyone. I made pate last year and think I may result in that again. It's nice cold for tea too so that helps as the inlaws have invited themselves!!

Forgot to say that Kayleigh doesn't like melon!!
