Often a nice gathering at home with a few friends is better than going out to a nightclub or places where people go to unwind. For one, most of the guests have something in common with the host and maybe they work in the same industry. Also, there is usually not a lot of formality that comes with having a nice cozy gathering, like a tasting party.
For many, there is no protocol for having a tasting session at home. They may choose to serve miniature versions of gourmet foods, craft brews, or even chocolate. Usually the host may have a favorite type of food or drink that they want to share with others. If anyone works in advertising or hospitality, the party may be used to get feedback about a particular product.
However, it can be more fun when there is a potluck type of scenario. Here, more than one person may collect unusual brands of a consumable good that cannot be found at the neighborhood supermarket. Maybe they traveled to another part of the world and picked up some souvenirs along the way.
For instance, a person may have a gathering where international coffee types are served. Depending on the crowd, miniature desserts or appetizers may be served. In some cases, the host may want to try ordering or making pastries that originated from the country the coffee originated. The time of day can also play a role in what types of food to serve.
Sweets are best in the early day or nighttime but not recommended for afternoon or early evening since this is when most people eat a full meal. Savory appetizers work well for late mornings or later in the evening after most people have had their last meal. If something is served to early in the say, a hungry guest may find themselves nibbling on more than a serving or two.
One solution is to make tapas, or appetizers, that tend to be filling. While some seafoods or specialty meats can get pricey, there are several solutions to making these budget friendly. If guests do not eat meat products, this can be advantageous as well as economical.
By using starches like rice, potatoes, or pasta, a host may consider miniature mac and cheese cupcakes or stuffed peppers with beans and salsa. Artisan breads with dipping oil are another popular choice, either alone or as complement to a tasting theme. For the person that is learning their way around the kitchen, instant carbohydrate staples that come already seasoned in a box are great timesavers.
Some people feel that having a fancy display is necessary to please a crowd but the layout of edibles has to be functional first. For instance, things that are not easy to access or likely to topple over are not practical for informal settings. Guests may stain their clothing trying to reach for something. However, a host can either make their own food stands or visit a discount store to find products intended for presentation. Sometimes, all it takes is cutting food in a neat manner and keeping serving utensils nearby.
