Recipe Theme of the Month: Bite Size Nibbles- Appetizers

For April I'm choosing a theme of appetizers. Tiny, bite size treats that make you wish they were a full meal, all month long. Some of these are things we do all the time, others are things I'd like to try. The first one is a nifty little trick I saw in Southern Living called Pinchos.

Southern Living 

Apparently this is a Spanish dish, but I would think you could create a theme for these around any country, region, or even holiday.

Their suggestions:

Skewer any two items on a pick, and serve a colorful assortment on a tray. Try our combinations, or experiment with some of your own.

• Cube of salami + small gherkin pickle
• Cube of fontina cheese + dried Mission fig quarter
• Quartered marinated artichoke heart + 1 boiled medium-size shrimp
• ½ small fresh mozzarella ball + rolled-up roasted red bell pepper strip
• ½ pickled okra + one piece of country ham

My thoughts: 

• A Curl of Salami + a cube of Provolone 
• A Grape Tomato with a Ribbon of Basil + a cube of mozzarella
• Pickled Asparagus + a Cube of Ham 
• A chunk of fresh pineapple, a mint leaf + a cube of feta cheese
• A curl of bacon + a Smoked oyster

 Just rambling there, but the endless possibilities... and then, you know, who doesn't like food on a stick? Hehe...

Any idea what you think would be good on a stick? lol
