Mix Up Your Nuts
Presentation matters, so dumping straight from the “deluxe assortment” can isn't the most satisfying way to serve nutmedleys.
Why not try those little jars or pretty cups that peoplecan pick up for easy snacking?
(We’re fans of little mason jar shot glasses.)
You canalso fill paper candy cups or mini muffin cups with a variety of nuts,crackers or cheese cubes.
For an elegantnew way to serve co*cktail-hour snacks…break out those sterling silver demitassespoons your grandmother left you and fill one bowl with spoons and another with nuts.
Guestscan spoon a few nuts into their hand and munch away.
This killstwo birds with one stone. You have maintain individual portion control and you also avoidfingertips in the food.
Win-Win!
Table manners for eating nuts
Dry, one-seeded fruits, nuts are eatenwith the fingers.
At the table, though, a nut spoon is providedto spoon nuts from bowl to plate.
Good table manners call for a spoon tobe provided with finger foods served from a common bowl.
Don't use your hands to take nuts from the common bowl, use the spoon(this rule applies to anyunwrapped food presented in a common bowl).
For a more hygienicpresentation, instead of a communal bowlful o’ nuts at your next get-together,try putting the snacks and party mix in clear-glass narrow-necked decanters.
This way, guests canpour out their portions rather than scoop them up with potentially germy hands.
The clean-linedvessels look fresh and modern, and are of course, more sanitary.
