My dinner guests arrived early and found me eating the starter alone

@mindingmyknitwear
I invited six people for eight, then got peckish at 7.20 and opened the burrata. Naturally, two arrived at 7.25, just as I was standing at the fridge in slippers with a spoon. I said it was quality control, which convinced nobody. Do I replace it or commit to calling it an amuse-bouche?

@thegoodcutlery
Replace it. Guests can forgive lateness, but they can smell when the burrata course has been through a private viewing.
@thevelvetropeburn
A bold host would offer the spoon around and see who still wants their name on the next invitation.
@ceremonialearplugs
Turn off the lights, play one song loudly, and announce the burrata was lost during a brief kitchen incident.
@champagneonhold
Early arrivals accept the risk of seeing the machinery. Put out crisps and make them help chop something.

You’ve definitely got an opinion.
