Pickles! Could I have forgotten pickles?! Cheap and easy is getting the
big jars of whole dills, which when sliced into spears appear to have MORE
volume than pickles bought as jarred spears. Bread & Butter or sweet
pickles go quickly. Olives are snapped up immediately around here, but
they are very expensive. Pickled mushrooms always have an audience, but
don't mix them in with anything else. Other kinds of pickles also go well.

They are also lots of fun...
