You already know about Taco Tuesday. It may be one of your top ten days of the week.
Have you heard of Finger Food Friday?
Some of the most fabulous foods are finger foods. Carrot sticks, celery sticks, and apple slices all qualify. Yes, the whole gamut of veggie trays can be the main course on Finger Food Friday.
Sweet peas in the pod, delicious florets of broccoli, and festive lunchbox peppers fit nicely between two fingers—or three if you’re only snacking. If you’re a wee tot, you can grip them in your fist (fist food?).
A veggie plate might include tiny bleached brains of cauliflower, itty bitty baby carrots, and temptingly launchable cherry tomatoes. Yet another might have a perfect pile of black olives (or maybe green), discs of cucumber, crisp okra, bits of mango, and tart cranberries. Then we’re getting into fruit trays instead of veggie trays.
You know what fruit trays have, of course, like oranges, bananas, melon chunks, grapes, cherries, and don’t forget the passion fruit. Lemon and lime slices are occasionally featured. Even things that are not very grabbable can be sliced or diced and stabbed onto a toothpick, like cubed pineapple or sliced jalapeños.
Ha! Now it’s getting really exotic, so throw together some cheese and crackers and you’ve got a cheese and crackers plate.
Don’t stop there. Some people prefer a shrimp platter, or a keto platter, or a vegetarian platter, or a protein platter, or a boiled egg and summer sausage platter. Still others are going to want chicken nuggets and French fries. There are so many ways to do Finger Food Friday.
Last, don’t be afraid to notice that a lot of these finger foods are served with one dip or another. No one wants to celebrate Dipping Sauce Friday though. It just wouldn’t be as fun as Finger Food Friday.
