Spinach & Artichoke Dip With..... ? After watching Oprah's Favorite Things show I just had to buy chicken pot pies from Harry & David. I had no choice. I also bought spinach & artichoke dip as an impulse buy. I figured I can have it with chips. Well, it so happens that I just made last minute plans to see some family Christmas eve. They said to bring some kind of chips or just anything to munch on. It's very casual. I think the spinach/artichoke dip will be great and it looks fantastic in it's fancy little jar. However, I don't want to carry a bag of chips alongside. So, what do I bring? Should I get a platter of vegetables? Should I get chips or some kind of crackers or pita bread? A bread bowl and put the jar in the center? Help. But please keep it simple! |
Ha! I'll be right over! I'll eat the dip and you can start from scratch! (JK) Hehe! I like the veggie platter best! :D |
Panini bread! It's soooooo good with S&A dip. :) |
You could cut up a loaf of italian bred into mini bites and then heat the dip and use toothpicks to dip. I still would go for the chips myself.:D |
I'm going with Cathy suggestion above. When I've had this type of dip at an Italian restaurant it was served with small crusty breads slices.....delish!:) |
Thanks everyone. I think I prefer some kind of bread over veggies for taste, although it would be pretty easy to buy a veggie platter. I have to cook the italian bread? :eek: Also the jar says it's good hot or cold. It would be better hot, correct? |
I like the bread bowl idea, but a thicker higher quality bread usually works best (and with such uber S&A dip you don't want to ruin it with sub-par bread :p). Your best bet is probably to buy a loaf from a bakery of some sort and cube it. White based breads (such as panini or italian) are probably the best choice grain wise. |
I got the chicken pies and the Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese is to die for. I took it to a Christmas dog meet and it was a big hit. Had to go order more but it is rather expensive. Have you tried the chicken pie? Ummmm good. Quote:

It is best hot, so hot it will burn the roof of your mouth. Chips....multi colored thin Chips! Regular, green and black. Thinner the better! |
I agree -- crusty bread slices, little wedges are perfect with spinach artichoke dip. I love that dip at one of our local restaurants and made one & put it out with slices from a nice baguette of bread last Christmas eve, only to find my recipe was off and I hated the dip. :( I will probably just order some next time myself. Still don't know what I did wrong. |

i use a english muffin toasting bread for dips. you buy it toast it and cut into tiny squares. we use this for our BLT dip which is AMAZING btw. it's literally bacon, tomato, and mayonaise dip....it's sooo good. but yea english muffin toasting bread toasted and cut into squares should work...i like the tri color chip idea too. pretty and seasonal. |
I always use french bread with artichoke dip. You just tast it a little...or not. :) |
If the dip is so hot it is still bubbling, and loaded with Garlic, it does not matter what you scoop it up with! Now I am hungry and Marge is out! May have to take her out to dinner witha a nice appetizer when she gets home in a while. Nothing but the best for her, Fridays or Chilli's! |
