Hi everyone,
 
One of my foodblogger friends is instituting a cookbook cooking club - the idea is we get together once every other month to cook Saturday lunch together from a selected cookbook. I'm hoping I can get them to do one of my medieval ones at some point. :-) 
 
Anyway, to start off with we're having an afternoon tea next Saturday to go over everyone's books, and I need to bring a plate. So I'm looking for suggestions for a sure-fire hit dish that can be nibbled on while sitting around drinking tea and reading books, I.e. small, easily portable (it's a 2 hour trip on public transport for me to her place) and not too messy. I'm not the world's greatest at baking or pastry goods (and will admit usually use pre-made pastry) but am willing to give them a whirl. These are foodies so anything unusual is not going to scare them, in fact it will just make them even more enthusiastic!
 
Any suggestions gratefully received.
 
ciao
Lucrezia
 
 
P.S.  TV clip update; the company is sending me a camera sometime this week and I'm doing a couple of clips - one on macrows, one on spices (probably long pepper as it's my favourite) and if I have time, one on a meat dish (sadly not fish Selene, as I'm allergic to cooked fish in one of those "think 'The Poltergeist" ways!) ;-) Thanks again for all the suggestions everyone, they were really helpful.
