Thank you, Thank you, Thank you... the treads are just great. Also it was the Nigella Lawson one, Thrift lady. I just could not think.
Dorry, Thank you as well, i never thought of Guacamole, i will also be making that in about 10 mins.
Gingham Ribbon. I loved your links, so many ideas for me to use and i also loved your OH's thinking, my train of thought runs that way too sometimes, well most of the time to be honest. Sad isn't it. lol. Hope you all have a great Christmas and thanks again. :T :T :T :T

Here is another dip for another occasion - one of the easiest ever.... my mother used to do this. Take a pack of Boursin cheese (herbs & garlic), and simply thin it with cream to dip consistency. Delicious and cannot fail.

We have some people coming round tonight and I wondered if anyone had any quick and simple dips that they could knock up from the storecupboard.

I tend to have a well stocked one and have these things hanging around as a matter of course.

Tinned Tomatoes
Various beans including chick peas but no Tahini - so Hummus which I was thinking of is less of an option, also I am without a food processor.
Olives
Anchovies
Red Peppers in a jar
Mayo
Onions
Chutneys
Onions
Cheddar
Garlic
lots of spices

Any thoughts gratefully accepted!

How about a tomato salsa and a cheese & onion dip?

Hi dronid,

There's an earlier thread with some recipes that may help:

Home made Dips

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep all the suggestions together.

Also, you could make a red pepper pesto and grill some french bread cut into thin slices - schmear the pesto on top and garnish with a half olive?

Thanks Pink, I was looking around for a thread like that!:T

Thanks to everyone for the information (including the ones from previous questions).

It's this kind of thing that makes this site so great!

I'm having some people around tonight for the Eurovision, and I'm wanting to do some home made dips to go with my crisps.

I already have salsa, and I'm going to make garlic mayonnaise. In terms of ingredients that might be helpful, I have mayonnaise, ketchup, bbq sauce, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic & herb cream cheese, normal cream cheese, mixed herbs, garlic puree, tomato puree, salt, pepper, chilli flakes, and possibly some other bits and pieces.

Thanks!
