Kalamata, Siclian and Spanish olives
Cornichons
A collection of cheeses on a cheese board:

Chevre with pepercorn
Aged Gouda
Pepper Jack
Pate or Fois Gras
Vegetable Terrine
A selection of water and other crackers

Artichoke with garlic (and a bit of butter added for stickiness

After that, I start adding salads of mixed varieties and additional breads.
