What's your Favorite Appetizer?

[Newsies]

Fried green beans are my jam, but they're not found everywhere. I do like a good calamari, though.

I was stumped as well! Never thought brussel sprouts could be so good until I tried them fried lol! They are a pretty popular appetizer around here.

Oh no, I didn't explain myself well. That was a "hhmmmm" of happiness. Roasted/sauteed/fried brussel sprouts are super popular app around here too. It tends to be more seasonal (all my places I walk to are local, and daily menus) so I haven't had any lately and they sound so good. I make them a ton at home in the fall. I totally agree with you - DELICIOUS!

I'm not as high falooting as some folks on this thread. I like mozza sticks or potato skins. Recently I tried spinach dip and it might be my new favourite.

Mozz sticks are solid. I'll get them pretty much anytime I'm at a bar drinking. Love me some yummy mozz sticks!

I had the most amazing brussel sprouts at a top spot in Rockford, IL. Topped with parmesan, capers, and lemon zest.

Lately we have been all about the fried pickles.
I like pan seared tuna. I also like wings and nachos but tend to get them as my meal. Asian, I like Dumplings.

I'm obsessed with dumplings lately.

Fried cheese is NOT an appetizer...

...it's a FULL MEAL the way I eat it!! An 8-pack from Arby's is my favourite fast-food ever!

I've tried to make them fried, roasted, or sauteed at home, but I can't find a recipe that comes out as good as in the restaurant!

Mine turn out, but brussels and a glass of wine for happy hour at like $12, is way better than washing dishes

Pretzel sticks and beer cheese.

Nachos.

Hot crab dip.

Very occasionally we will get wings but only in some restaurants.

Oh hell yea, especially if the cheese is a bit spicy.

I love appetizers ... usually more than an entree so sometimes I'll just get 2 of those.

Favorites, depends on where I am. My usual suspects include shrimp cocktail, calamari, ahi tuna, wings, potato skins, flatbread.

 

[jevs]

A drink usually. I rarely get an appetiser. The exception would be if there was nothing of interest on the dessert menu.

 

[AuntieMe3]

Bacon wrapped dates...OMG just yum!

Oysters - raw in the half shell. I've learned how to shuck them myself. Doesn't really need anything except maybe a slice of lemon, lime, or Tabasco. I like variety too. Pacifics, Kumamoto, Atlantic. When I was in the Seattle area I found one of the few places that was farming Olympia oysters. They were good, but tiny as heck.

Other than that - something simple like chips and salsa/guacamole or onion rings. I like it when the onion rings comes before the entree.

I am a sea food lover!

 

[PollyannaMom]

No solid favorite. In fact, sometimes we get a sampler platter just so we don't have to decide!

If I had to pick just one, probably calamari.

 

[klacey1]

Raw oysters with a squeeze of lemon, hot sauce, and horseradish.

Calamari, poutine or cheese fries, nachos, chips and guacamole (only if it's made fresh tableside). I also have an unabashed love for the bloomin onion at Outback--especially that sauce!

An all-time favorite has to be at pne of my favorite restaurants in Vegas--pigs in a blanket that are amazing!

I love snacky, appetizer type foods and will commonly order one as my meal unless I'm in a steakhouse or fancy restaurant.

It depends on where we are, but usually cheese curds.
