"Ask techies for culinary ideas"
So, I am stoopid then. We're off to a party this evening of the bring some food, they provide the drinks. It is Mrs Wife's work's "Santa Evening" so there are children and partners.
I am already making puff pastry twists, very quick and easy - roll out pastry, put a filling in the middle, fold and roll again, then cut into strips and twist them before cooking for 10-15 minutes. Simples as.
Now what fillings shall I do? I am already doing Nutella [sounds awful but works well] and Cheese & Herb. Please, any sane suggestions will be considered and top-shelf brain-dribblers will be taken up on. 
So I've made:
- Nutella: does what it says on the tin; children will be happy
- Bacon & Garlic; not sure I shouldn't just leave them here, I'm sure no one will want any #innocentwhistle
- Cheese & Herbs; good, not as good as I thought they'd be, but good.

Basil, mozzarella, and sun-dried tomato.
Black olive tapenade.
But Cheddar is probably the best!
(I'd be tempted to make some sausage rolls as well, while I had the pastry ready...)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Sausage rolls are not very Magyar. Imagine 50 Brits in forn-parts having a get together, they will want their own stodge, not foreign stodge! The pastries I can get away with, perfect Tesh food.

Did I suggest you take them with you for others to eat?

Bacon and shallot. Chop both, roast for a short time, apply some pepper, and fill the pastry.

I was beginning to think I'd logged on to the wrong website as no-one had mentioned bacon!
You are a saviour!

I'm going with Bacon & Garlic; that should sort the men from the boys.

So you didn't mention bacon in your initial post because you took it as granted?
Garlic is fine and may be also combined with shallot.

No, the suggestion made me think of doing some baconish snacks

Besides the cheese already mentioned, I've made these with Pesto Verde and Rosso.
Green and Red, very christmassy.

The jar of fermented cerebrum that's cracked from internal pressure after being forgotten for several years behind all the other stuff on the shelf and is now oozing down the back corner of your fridge from top to bottom. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I never thought it possible, but it's true someone can drink more than me and appear functional!

It's 9:30am. I'm at the office and sober. What amazed me is that none of the other weirdos here took you up on what seemed to be an obvious setup line for a troll answer.

oh gawd - dont even mention it - there's been something unmentionable in our fridge for 2+ weeks I havnt been able to track down - so with the mouldies (my parents live with me) shipped off to NZ along with my Sis as a 'companion' for my mum while dad is bushwalking with my brother, guess who's job it is to strip the fridge and find that elusive smell

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

I worked for a Japanese company once (not in Japan) and we had some Japanese workers come over to work in our team, and that is one country I would hate to work at. It's brutal and many people do sleep at their desks...not in the manner in this article, but they'll work til 8pm, 9pm at night, sleep under their desks and start again at 7am. In their culture it's important to show that you're working as hard as you possibly can. If they take time off they have to apologise to the whole company when they return...the stories are endless. The mind boggles.
