    Thats quite a hard choice, and making me hungry as I read it.

    But I'd say -

    Hot sausage & pepper skewers
    Mini Yorkshire puddings with beef & horseradish (hot or cold)

    Because almost everyone would enjoy those two, and I'd then probably add

    Warm lemon marinated Chicken with mint & cucumber dip
    Mini Brushetta with olives and tomato

    Just because they sound like a nice contrast to the other two. The 5th one is a much harder choice, but I might be tempted by

    Warm apricots wrapped in bacon

    Just for fun.

    Do you have any veggies or people who can't eat particular things to cater for? If so, I'd pick at least 1 thing that ticks those boxes. What is your starter? Probably best avoid things that are too similar to that - I'm having a smoked salmon starter, so I limited the salmon on the canape menu.

    I'd be tempted by:

    Mini Yorkshire puddings with beef and horse radish

    Chicken Satay Skewers

    Parmesan Scones

    Roasted Vegetable skewer (hopefully gluten/ dairy free and veggie)

    Melon and Parma Ham (gluten/dairy free and non-veggie)

    But I do see what you mean about choosing - I tried to balance meat types and vegetarian canapes, but there's lots of temptation there!

    We're not having a sit down meal, jsut a big old buffet a bit later on in the evening. So have more freedom with the canapes.

    I'm thinking -

    Mini Brushetta with olives and tomatoes

    Chicken Satay Skewers

    Assorted savoury pastries

    Mini yorkshire puds with beef

    and.....something else....argh im so bad at this!

    So many yummy things Smiley laugh

    I would love:

    Chicken satay skewers

    Hot sausage & pepper skewers

    Mini Brushetta with olives and tomato

    Melon and Parma ham skewers

    Mini vol au vents with sweet & savoury fillings

    Seriously though, I think if you choose any of these things, your guests will be happy, there's a nice mix of some good classic canapés and unsual treats on there!
