Appetizer Ideas for Oktoberfest?

skigrl52@aol.com

We are hosting an Oktoberfest party next weekend and I need some appetizer ideas (meatless ones please - we already have 2 with meat and have some vegs coming).Open to any ideas that are easy.

One recipe I have been trying to find . . . I had this dip at a party a few weeks ago that had cream cheese, a half can of beer, and seasoning I think she called it a veggie dip and served it with pretzels. Let me know if you have a recipe for something like this as well.

Thank You!

Wrap a roasted asparagus spear with a small slice of brie in a crescent roll and bake acording to the cresent roll directions - easy and yummy.

Appetizers

Here's my appetizers link.  All but one of them are meatless.  Another idea is to do a butternut squash galette and slice it into small pieces.

I like the idea of pretzels.

Or beer cheese soup, or even caesar salad spears (http://www.thebeerstore.ca/Lifestyle/recipes_Ceasar_Salad.asp)

It's not German, but it was a huge hit at my kid's bday party yesterday.  I sliced apples and peanut butter dip.  To keep from browning I tossed the apples in pineapple juice and they are still nice today.  Peanut butter dip- 1 cup peanut butter, 8 oz cream cheese, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup milk.  Blend up and enjoy!

I know exactly which dip you're talking about with the cream cheese and beer.  It's in my blog under appetizers.
