They strike the ideal middle ground between 'snack' and 'meal'
We all know it’s good manners to never show up to a party empty-handed. Often, that results in people bringing a bottle of wine or a six-pack, which is all well and good. It usually gets drunk, or stashed away in the host’s fridge for the next occasion . But sometimes, one yearns for creativity when it comes to the party contribution. And I can’t stop thinking about the best one I’ve ever seen — showing up to a party with a 24-pack of Popeyes biscuits. Please, everyone do this.
The party in question was not a dinner party or a fancy affair. It was the kind of party with chips and pretzels, a fridge full of beer and hard seltzer, and a few people playing video games in the background. There were vague plans for pizza to be ordered later. But then, someone arrived with a gift. The aroma of fake-butter-that-tastes-better-than-butter-could-ever-taste filled the room, and we all became aware of a few orange boxes on the coffee table. There were shrieks. There were moans.
First, this is a move because it gets you noticed. No one cares if you show up with yet another case of White Claw. But it’s also a move because biscuits are the perfect middle ground between “snack” and “meal” for a party that centers on neither. A fast-food biscuit is heftier than a tortilla chip, but doesn’t require the commitment of a piece of fried chicken or a portion of a six-foot-long sub.
Even if you’re the host, setting out biscuits as part of the snack spread is a welcome addition to chips and dip for basically no lift. I’ve tried to be the person who goes all out for a party spread, baking my own crackers and cheese twists or creating a picture-perfect charcuterie plate, and I’ve come to realize that at a certain point I start to stress myself out and become unable to actually enjoy the party I’m hosting.
