Meat!

Tasty, tasty appetizer recipes in the NYT last week.

Here is a collection of party foods that are as easy to eat as they are to make. Each can be produced in 20 minutes or less. Many can be served at room temperature. And none require a plate. (Few people can juggle plate, wineglass and fork successfully, let alone gracefully.)

Most of these recipes are beyond minimalist: they never do in two steps what can be done in one, and they need no embellishment.

Seriously, there is a whole cluster of at least half a dozen different things, each wrapped in bacon.
