We've got 8 for dinner on Saturday, friends of Mrs rich p - fairly discerning folk unlike my own low-life lot. The main course is something fancy with a loin of pork, apparently, and I have been delegated to come up with something for the starter. Any suggestions, however exotic? p.s. One is gluten-free and one doesn't do crustacea.
Starter for 10 - no 8

rich is looking forward to girding his loin...
Tzaziki heaped into a large mushroom with '11-cog' sized pieces of carefully cut (by mr rich p) pitta bread. A little bit of something spicy at the bottom of the mushroom cup might be nice to add piquancy...but no fat duck.
Have a lovely time.

I never bother with starters - just have another beer or glass of grape juice.

Ok, rich - you're obviously hyperventilating. Try to stay calm, it's only cooking. Teef's suggestion sounded good and he's a real fungi too.

Apparently you've got to always put a pair of crossed deep fried batons of something long and thin in a cross shape on top to give that Masterchef joie de vivre... parsnip or carrot would do plus a squiggle of truffle oil on the side!
There whatever it ends up as , it will look arty!!
If one drops out I can make up an eighth rich!

Tomatoes, red yellow and orange peppers, good mozzarella, fresh basil, black pepper, olive oil, a dash of balsamic vinegar.
Chop the tomatoes and peppers, smallish but chunky. Tear up the mozzarella and basil. Put it all in a bowl and drizzle the olive oil and balsamic. Chuck some parma ham in if you want.

Is pitta bread gluten free Ape? I'm off to google tzaziki
I think you'll find pitta is not gluten free. Tzaziki is greek youghurt wiht cucmber and garlic - very tasty but would have as it with an aperitif, not as a starter.
How about a small piece of smoked salmon with small salad leaves and garnished with a sprig of parsley and a lemon segment?
A cheat alternative is to go to M&S where you should find salmon terrine wrapped in smoked salmon - very tasty! Garnish as above.
Now if you are looking for something to drink with starters and pork, that I can help you with!!!

Something tapas!
De-stoned fresh dates wrapped in thin slices of Serrano ham. Goes well with a dry, cold rosé wine!
Good enough for any snob!
