I give mini jams (packaged for food service) with my rolls to avoid the question of what dips everyone will eat. People have very different food preferences. I, personally can't stand eggplant or olives. Some people don't like tomatos, are allergic to sesame etc... what does that leave, plain mayo? LOL

One year I gave mini butters instead of jam but I never repeated because I wanted people to be able to eat the rolls at their seudas if desired. Even though the rolls are 100% parve (and labeled so) and the butter was wrapped separately people were nervous/asking questions.


well, not everyone likes jam.

I think dips are a great idea especially with purim being on thursday. People can keep them for shabbos. I think if you give 2-3 different dips there is sure to be something someone likes.

this is my aubergine dip people really like. Cut 2 aubergines in half, bake for 40-1 hour on high (420) till dark brown, process with a few garlic cloves and add mayo to taste. (we put a lot)

I made that red pepper dip from overtime cook and it didn't seem to go. Sad But I liked it.

OP

I appreciate everyone's input Smile
I don't really care if a few people don't like what I send or choose to throw it out for hygiene reasons. I've done this mm in the past and got lots of positive feedback, so I decided to repeat it though not necessarily with the same dips. I was just trying to get a sense of what is popular.

That sounds delicious! How large are the aubergines you use? I've noticed a difference in size between Israel and the US- no clue what's available in Europe.

whatever is available in the shop. biggish. maybe 15 cm long. 7-8 cm wide. Estimating without either a ruler or an aubergine. I keep checking the aubergine to see when they look ready after about half an hour.

you bake them cut-side-down or cut-side-up? brush with oil first or no? raw garlic cloves or roasted?
I keep on messing up eggplant dip and would love a tried & true recipe!

Thanks! I think that's smaller than the ones I've seen here, so it might make a difference for the roasting time.

Something else: Someone once gave me a MM with the following dips:
1. Spinach and garlic dip
2. Mushroom Dip

It was very different if that is what you're going for.

I like:
- roasted red pepper spread
- pesto
- roasted eggplant (not so much mayo)
- hummus
- spinach

I don't like anything with olives.
