This Week’s KSK Commenter Draft: Hors d’oeuvres
Holy fuck, I am seriously hungover. Of course that’s what happens when you drag your lazy ass off the couch to attend a friend’s birthday party on a weeknight. So what could have possessed me to do such a thing? Was it my affection for the birthday girl or the two hours of open bar featuring all of my favorite top shelf liquor, beer, and champagne? Fuck no, it’s all about the possibility for those delicious little hors d’oeuvres.
So today, while I’m burping up a delightful combination of Hendricks, Macallan, and Veuve at my desk, I’m still regretting that one last fried risotto ball I missed out on. Dear god those fuckers were tasty.
Any party can, and should, be judged by the quality of the hors d’oeuvres. Hell, I can still rank every Bar Mitzvah I ever attended on the quality of their (kosher) pigs in a blanket.
Today your task as commenters is to select the best and the brightest of delectable shrunken foodstuffs. With the first selection, I’ll be helping myself to a tray of mini latkes topped with crème fraîche and caviar. I am not joking in the least when I tell you that I could eat those little fuckers by the hundred, and if I have to prove it, I will do so happily.
The rules are the same as always, you draft one hors d’oeuvres at a time (no napkin stacking here, fatty) and wait at least ten picks before you select again.
Take it away, I’m going to reload on some mate to keep me from passing out on my keyboard.

I see a bacon theme developing, but I’m going with those mini-cheesburgers. I watched an entire wedding reception shift to the side of the room by the kitchen to be the first to attack the poor server who had those on her tray.

Bacon is obviously the Decathlete of this thread.
I’m a potato skin guy or 1/4 potato w/ seasoning on the skin and something on the potato proper.
In North Carolina we had the state fair and (I kid you not) Fried Snickers bars (with complimentary cardiologist). Oh, you could get powdered sugar on that as well.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:42 am
Bacon wrapped whole Jalepenos. Proceed with caution.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:43 am
My two faves were already taken – crab cakes and pigs in a blanket.
I’ll take deep-fried rice balls filled with mozzarella. The only non-catered place I’ve ever seen them is at Two Amys.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:43 am
@Tyler Durden
hope you tried the fried twinkies there, they were the hit of the fair
for my next selection I go with Penrose Sausages, the ones in the big jar at the end of the bar everyone sticks their hands in after a long day at the textile mill
August 1st, 2008 at 10:44 am

Chili cheese dip w/ small round Tostitos:
1 can Hormel chili w/ beans, 8 oz. brick cream cheese: microwave, stir, and eat. I turn my nose and tell my wife it looks like dog food, but there I am 10 minutes later licking the bowl…

@Tracer Bullet, so would I
@Otto, the classics never die. deviled eggs kick ass. Remind me to invite you to my next party so I can have all the deviled eggs to my self.

That’s nothing, I know a bar in Milwaukee where that’s an everyday item.
And I’ll take mini corn dogs

Bloomin Onion, with a pint of that secret orange sauce that they serve it with at Outback.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:50 am
how has shrimp not shown up yet – following the theme, wrap it in bacon, stick it in a jalapeno, dip it in batter and fry it up – serve with remoulade
August 1st, 2008 at 10:51 am
any item where there is a cracker base, followed by delicious cheese, followed by something interesting. be it ham and mustard, ranch dressing, more cheese, or some fucking guac.
i could eat crackers + cheese+ misc. every meal for the rest of my life.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:51 am

In honor of my latin blood and love of all things Spain, I’ll take croquetas (croquettes). I basically love anything fried.

UU, now that Cumpidgeon has taken pig testicles as his appetizer, you and your deviled eggs are off the hook.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:54 am
@ Krwynn
Could be, but since I’ve never had a salad I don’t have any other exposure to it.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:54 am
Plain old crackers. Maybe Club or Ritz.
That is, if Fiddy’s coming over.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:54 am
@Otto – that would bull testicles – pig testicles are called hot dogs
August 1st, 2008 at 10:54 am
The spinich and cheese stuffed “mini quiches.” Not the ham ones – those suck taint.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:55 am

Gayest. Draft. Evah.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:57 am
My mistake, I was thinking of the delicious flaming hog balls from “Top Secret!”
But bull testicles? Well, that’s another thing altogether. That’s nowhere nearly as disgusting as pig testicles. I mean, it’s a whole different kind of semen-factory you’re eating, and it’s kosher too!

my wife’s buffalo chicken dip with nacho chips.
dip includes: chicken, cream cheese, blue sheese dressing, frank’s hot sauce, and it is covered with cheddar cheese then baked for about 20 minutes. The only thing to make it better would be is if it had bacon in it.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:16 am
In all reality, I’m all about a big ass veggie platter. Celery, Carrots, Broccoli, and a bit of Ranch dressing. Cauliflower optional.
But no cherry tomatoes. Fucking disgusting little fake fruit jelly squish balls got no bidness on my menu.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:20 am

Underdog’s got something similar, but I had a more specific take:
For our wedding last year at Walter Payton’s Roundhouse we had hors d’oeuvres for our cocktail hour and they had one that stood out from the rest.
Petite Rosemary Lamb Chops roasted with rosemary & garlic aioli.
People are still talking about them 14 months later.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:23 am
They’re called Chicken Butts.
Jalapeño. Stuffed with Cream Cheese. Wrapped in Bacon.
Stop trying. I win.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:28 am
Mini Lamb Chops for the win.
I’m actually salivating here.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:29 am
Fuck, everybody already got all mine. Stuffed mushrooms, mini quiche, those little BBQ weenies…
I’d have to make some shit up, and I can’t even use bacon, because everybody’s already got all that covered, too.
Bacon-wrapped kittens on a skewer. There you go. You marinate them for a long time first. That way, they’re not as tough.

There’s a Filipino appetizer called lumpia shanghai. It’s like a spring roll, only it’s filled with pork.

Calling Skyline chili congealed dogshit is an insult to congealed dogshit the world over. For that matter, calling it chili is an insult to all humanity and most higher-functioning chimps.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:34 am
As cultured as we all sound, I’m sure many of us share the same appetizer course…
Two 12-packs of beer, a 2-liter bottle of Pepsi, two bags of Doritos and salsa.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:37 am
Toasted ravioli. Apparently a St. Louis thing, but it’s hard to beat fried raviolis.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:38 am
Not really a traditional choice, but I’ve never gone wrong with blue cheese stuffed green olives. You get the giant Spanish style ones (no pits), jam them full of blue cheese and clog an artery all night. You can also roll them in flour and bread crumbs and fry the little buggers.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:38 am
@ UU You got a recipe for those peppers? I’ve been searching but the closest thing is from Rachel Ray and I don’t trust that grinning jackal.

those fried macaroni things from cheesecake factory. jesus h. christ those things are good.
@ UU – frank’s red hot (not the buffalo wing sauce) is the greatest sauce ever. my wife uses a combo of that with butter for her homemade wing sauce.

You’d all be amazed at the insane amount of delicous and unhealthy food here. It explains why most people are fat. It doesn’t explain the ugly part though.
Frank’s is the only hot sauce I recognize. Yes, Frank’s and butter is your basic wing sauce and it’s fantastic.

@jacking’4beats: Fuck. Now out of season though.

@dick_gozinia: My great uncle used to hollow out giant green olives, stuff them with a mixture of bits of prosciutto and provolone, coat them in bread crumbs and deep fry them. My mother always lets me have the last one of whatever we’re sharing, but they are the only foodstuff my mother has ever taken the last one of.
Damn, everybody took mine…shrimp LeJon, pigs in blankets, crab Rangoon, asparagus wrapped with pork products, little lamb chops, tiny cheeseburger sliders, spanikopita.

Chips and mexican cheese dip. A late round steal!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Spicy Tiger prawns wrapped around Andoullie sausage…try me
August 1st, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Swedish meatballs, I have no idea how these fell, or if I just missed them, but if they are taken, then bacon wrapped Swedish Meatballs. YOINK!!!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Fallex; Mexican Cheese Dip? Fucking yankees… Its called queso. OR Chile con Queso if its got beef in it.
August 1st, 2008 at 1:37 pm
this post fucking sucks, WHERE IS THE SWEET 16 BOXING SHITHEADS?!?!
August 1st, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Whitewings, apparently a San Antonio area delicacy. Marinated pounded boneless chicken wrapped around jack cheese and a green chili, then grilled over a mesquite fire. 9 years later, the thought of them still gets the drool flowing.

little caesars crazy bread
August 1st, 2008 at 1:59 pm
McNulty’s right! We’ve eschewed fictional boxing matches for fictional finger food.

Not mentioned yet…. I’ve recently come to love it…
Saganaki
[Diner Door flies open]
//Tony Siragusa comes in to light the saganaki and steals a half-the-portion “bite”.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:28 pm
I’ll have to go with slices of cantaloupe melon wrapped in prosciutto.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:32 pm
screw appetizers, i want an Amuse Bouche

August 1st, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Green bean fries and wasabi ranch dipping sauce. A veritable steal this late.
August 1st, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Damn I’m Hungry!
August 1st, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Blue point oysters rockafeller. Cold. And. Raw. Maybe a drop of lemon, or a dab of cocktail sauce. Nothing will ever conquer.
August 1st, 2008 at 3:19 pm
As usual, I’m late to the party and my potential picks are way off the board, but I’ll take Norwegian pickled herring. I don’t have a drop of Scandinavian blood but damn, it’s good. I grew up in Minnesota (Skål Vikings!) and this delicious fish was at grown-up parties everywhere. Pickled herring makes me long for Christmas parties full of tall, blond, blue-eyed Valkyries in sweaters.
August 1st, 2008 at 3:27 pm
@cumpidgeon: but you knew what I meant, right?
Also, chili con queso is just cheese w/peppers if you ask me, which you didn’t.
/fucks self
August 1st, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Damn, I am hungry and everything good is taken.
I’ll just be over here in the corner with a bag of BBQ pork rinds.
IMO – the mini lamb chops always win.
August 1st, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Triscuits. With or without any toppings.
August 1st, 2008 at 3:51 pm
This is really low rent, but spray some cheese in a can on a Ritz cracker and put a half a cherry tomato on it. Damn that’s good, I shit thee not. What do you expect on the salary of a college professor in Alabama?
August 1st, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Since there’s a lull, I’ll break with protocol and make another pick: Cannabis (Sativa or Indica). It’s a great all-around hors d’œurve, a real crowd pleaser. Try it before attending a party full of people you don’t like, know or have anything in common with. Cannabis will make things more tolerable and will also curb homocidal urges.

Garlic Cheese Spread from Wegmans. Anyone who lives in the five states that are blessed with a Wegmans should agree
Its basically shredded cheese, with mayo, garlic, and french onion dip mixed together. You can, as the draft has dictated, top it with bacon. This works well when you serve it well.
August 1st, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Parmesan puff-pastry sticks
August 1st, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Wegman’s is pretty much the greatest supermarket ever invented. They make my previous favorites, Trader Joe’s, look like Darfur in comparison.
August 1st, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Pickled eggs. And open a window, would you?
August 1st, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Garlic bread with melted cheese
/king of the late-round steal
August 1st, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Best pick for late night hors d’œurves made specifically for the Drunk, Stoned & Lazy: chips and salsa purchased in a convenience store, then served at home on the couch in front of movies like “Caddy Shack”, “Predator”, “Blues Brothers”, “Re-Animator”…
August 1st, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Heart-a-Tot’s
Big ass plate of tater tots, smothered in Alfredo sauce, bacon drizzled way liberally all over that bitch.
This draft? It be won, now.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Little Chocolate Donuts. They taste good, and they’ve got the sugar I need to get me going in the morning.
August 2nd, 2008 at 11:43 am
Tiropitas: Chopped Broccoli, Feta, tarragon, wrapped in teensy phyllo triangles and basted with tons of butter. Tasty and very portable.
All cheese served on crackers at my house must be cheddar so sharp that it makes your nose run, topped with homemade green tomato chutney with enough ginger to make your eyes water.
/wonders why no one ever comes to visit

Grape leaves, bitches.
August 3rd, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Lambsicles — lamb chops frenched to the point of being just the eye on a bone, marinated and grilled. They’re supposedly an entrée (at Vij’s in Vancouver), but you could probably knock back a dozen without any problems.

Chicken livers, water chesnuts wrapped in bacon and broiled or fried. Ramaki, I think it’s called.
Not for beginners.
August 4th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
had this at a weeding this weekend, the cute waitress’s description (not mine):
rare new york steak on crostini, topped with carmelized onions and blue cheese. I cornered the waitress and put back an entire tray.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
damn – went on vacation and missed a fabulous commenter draft! the one and only correct answer: BOUDIN BALLS. the only good thing about living in baton rouge, LA. sausage and rice mixed together with a ton of spice, dipped in corn batter, fried and served with cajun mustard. mmm…
