Easy starters for Christmas Day help!

[Sandra & co]

I want to buy some starters I can put on a tray that don’t involve cooking. I have enough to do without having to cook starters and my oven isn’t very big. Do supermarkets sell anything I can unpack and serve or something with a little preparation? Help please!

I know it's a bit abigails party but I always do prawn cocktail for starter, my mum always does too, I learnt from the best lol... Only takes a few minutes to prep and leave in fridge until needed

My husband loves prawn cocktail,I have done it many times and may well do it again. My son can’t eat prawns so I need something else for him, he would like sausage rolls but I haven’t really got oven space.

I enjoy prawn cocktail and haven't done one for years. So easy with mixing ketchup and salad cream as the sauce, but there must be a layer of lettice under the prawns.

Can't you make your son a prawn cocktail without the prawns?

My mum always does a king prawn cocktail.! She does not even make the sauce she just gets it from M&S. my sister and nephew hate prawns so they have two hard boiled eggs with the same sauce. She serves them all in a martini type glass. So they are all simple and all look the same. Plus it’s light so won’t spoil the main event.
I have had a prawn cocktail every single year 46 of them 😂😂

I do salmon mousse (bought), smoked salmon, prawns, smoked mackerel, and pates with crackers/crispbreads... just put it all out on a big tray or chopping board and help yourself...

I know how to make a prawn cocktail! , I need some fancy garlic bread for my son. He loves garlic bread, I can’t really serve him a lemon wedge, lettuce and sauce with bread and butter on the side, or can I!

When one of mine was little he didn’t like smoked salmon which was our tradition, I used to give him fishfingers instead which he loved...

I LOVE a prawn cocktail!
Or failing that some sort of terrine with crostini or rye bread?
