The Bite (Issue 44): Party foods

and why we miss them [View in browser](~/AASU4wA~/RgRk41HlP0QyaHR0cHM6Ly9yZWFkLmxldHRlcmhlYWQuZW1haWwvdGhlLWJpdGUvbGV0dGVyLzQ2NzZXA3NwY0IKYv7mzABjqtbADlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAl) Earlier this week, I was in a meeting with a few coworkers and one mentioned how she had ventured out for an event and, while there, had realized how much she had missed “party food” amid the pandemic. We all knew what she meant by party food in this context. It’s not the stuff that is made for dinner parties, rather the kind of stuff that your mom (especially Midwestern moms) would put out for like a Superbowl spread or a baby shower. There would be pigs in blankets made by wrapping cocktail sausages in Pillsbury crescent dough, chips and queso — preferably made by combining Ro-Tel tomatoes and Velveeta in a ridiculously small crockpot — and miniature sandwiches served on King’s Hawaiian rolls. Seven-level dips and slow-cooker meatballs would hopefully make an experience, too. Maybe a shrimp ring, if someone is feeling fancy. While the pandemic inspired many home cooks to try their hand at making restaurant-quality meals in their own kitchens, seemingly overnight the idea of making party food was a thing of the past. While, sure, you can make yourself an entire spread of appetizers and dips, it can feel like a slog for one person cooking for just a few people. But now, several years into the pandemic, many of us have small groups of people — even if they are just vaccinated family members — with whom we feel comfortable sharing a meal. Might I suggest making your next gathering a little more festive with the addition of classic “party foods,” even if you’re just celebrating a normal Tuesday night. Here are some of my favorite recipes from the Salon archives that would be perfect. — Ashlie Stevens, deputy food editor Promotion from Bright Cellars [Get 50% off your first 6 bottle order!] Discover Wine You Love Bright Cellars is the monthly wine club that matches you with wine that you'll love, based on an algorithm that selects wines based on your taste preferences.
