DELIGHT!

TIPS AND IDEASDid you know that white wine goes better than red with most types of cheese? It’s also important to serve cheese at room temperature. Which means you should take it out of the fridge 45 minutes before serving. Another good idea is to set out one knife or slicer for each type of cheese served.* The Hemisphere wines are exclusive to Metro. The cheeses

presented above are available at our cheese counter.

TIPSKeep seafood platters

in fridge until ready to serve. It’s a good idea to keep them separate in case any of your guests

have seafood allergies. If the celebration goes on for

several hours, it may be best to put your seafood

back in the fridge.

Treat your guests to a feast from the seas. We have a large selection of shrimp, salmon and pollock platters that are sure to please. Serve with lemon quarters or cocktail sauce… pure pleasure ! IRRESISTIBLES

HORS D’OEUVREDiscover the new Irresistibles

seafood hors d’oeuvres. Four exquisite and flavourful

recipes that will delight all your guests.

Choose among exotic crab cake cones, crispy

calamari and two delicious varieties of breaded shrimp pop skewers:

plain or with coconut.

FOR THE HOST 1 To make sure you know what

platters to order, ask your guests in advance whether they have any allergies or dietary restrictions.

2 Plan the number of sittings for your guests well in advance.

3 Don’t serve too many canapés or appetizers at cocktail hour if you have a large buffet planned.

4 Make sure you have plenty of plates, so you don’t have to spend the evening in the kitchen washing dishes.

5 Serve coffee, tea and sparkling water to end the evening on a delicious note.

COLD CUTS A light red wine, such as a Beaujolais, makes an excellent match with cold cuts and deli meats.

CHEESE Red wine is often recommended, but white wine can be delicious with cheese – especially soft ripened varieties and goat cheese.

POULTRYFeel free to try a light red wine such as Pinot noir to vary the flavours, instead of the ever-present white wine.

WINE AND FOOD PAIRINGS FOR GUESTS 1 It’s a good idea to arrive a bit later

than expected, to allow your host extra time to get ready.

2 Bring a small “bread and butter” gift, such as a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates.

3 Propose a toast to your host! This formal thank-you is sure to be appreciated, especially after an enjoyable evening that’s clearly taken a lot of preparation.

4 Try to avoid looking at your phone. Your hosts will be grateful.

5 If the food is good, say so! A sincere compliment is always appreciated.

SMOKED FISHOpt for a Chardonnay with a light woody note – ideal with smoked salmon.

PORKThe full-bodied notes of a Côtes-du-Rhones or a New World wine are simply heavenly with pork.

DESSERTSA ruby port or a Banyuls is perfect with chocolate.
