A Tasting Party Is A Great Way To Network

By Douglas Patterson


There are many adults who find that they can relax at home of a friend more than at a bar or club. Instead of dealing with the anxiety that comes with being around strangers, being in the company of those with like interests makes more sense. Oftentimes a host may utilize a theme, such as a tasting party, for such gatherings.

The great thing is that there is no theme for tasting amongst friends, as the party can reflect the personal style of the host. A gathering where tasting is the focus may be about wine, beer, or tapas to be sampled. If the host is a fan of any particular food or drink, they may have a wide selection of brands they want to share with others.

Some hosts may requests that guests bring their favorite item but enough to share with others. The more unusual or tasty, the more it can liven things up. If those in attendance are foodies, people may be willing to share recipes or merchant information as a way to get better acquainted with others.

However, if one is looking to have such an event at their home, they may want to take some things into consideration when it comes to serving ideas. For instance, few will want to have a lot of sweet foods during the dinnertime hours. Sometimes it can be fun to mix things up but some hosts prefer to stick with like items like finger foods or light savory appetizers.

Sweets are best in the early day or nighttime but not recommended for afternoon or early evening since this is when most people eat a full meal. Savory appetizers work well for late mornings or later in the evening after most people have had their last meal. If something is served to early in the say, a hungry guest may find themselves nibbling on more than a serving or two.

One solution is to make tapas, or appetizers, that tend to be filling. While some seafoods or specialty meats can get pricey, there are several solutions to making these budget friendly. If guests do not eat meat products, this can be advantageous as well as economical.

Artisan breads are full of flavor as well as versatile. Slices can be used to make small finger sandwiches, served with a flavor infused oil or crafted cheese wedge. For something a little more substantial, pasta or potato sides are another option that are easy to cook and come in prepared varieties that need heat only.

Some people feel that having a fancy display is necessary to please a crowd but the layout of edibles has to be functional first. For instance, things that are not easy to access or likely to topple over are not practical for informal settings. Guests may stain their clothing trying to reach for something. However, a host can either make their own food stands or visit a discount store to find products intended for presentation. Sometimes, all it takes is cutting food in a neat manner and keeping serving utensils nearby.
