My sweet husband is reaching the point where finger foods work best. I enjoy cooking for the two of us and would like to continue preparing appetizing & healthy meals that we can both enjoy. Most appetizer recipes are not necessarily healthy though there are certainly some good ideas there. He will take apart and make a mess with anything that is stacked or even like a sandwich so I'm having difficulty thinking of how to tackle this. Oh yes, I don't do well with messy - that's part of the problem I know I have to "get over it."
Much luck
But just as a thought. We've only had forks for a few hundred years. And in India they still don't use them. The very best people at the very best banquets eat with their fingers.
So maybe an idea for the widest variety of proper food that you and your husband can both enjoy is to stock up on finger-bowls and extra napery and cultivate a new, exotic style of dining?
