How to Serve Finger Food

• Morsels should be small enough to be eaten in one mouthful.

• Check the temperature. Hot food doesn't mean hot enough to burn your tongue.

• If you're putting out communal food platters, such as antipasto or tapas, be sure to supply toothpicks or mini-forks.

• And provide an empty bowl for the used forks, olive stones or prawn tails.

• Don't stack multilayered sandwiches in a continuous line; arrange them so that it's easy to pick out an individual serve neatly.
