Get ready to party this new year with quick and easy snacks

Party time on New Year’s Eve doesn’t have to mean hours of work, suggests Roz Crowley.

THERE are terrific readymade patés and terrines in On the Pig’s Back (English Market and Douglas, Cork) for meaty options. Superb Irish cheeses need nothing but delicious Irish crackers, sourdough, baguette or wholemeal bread. Freeze good bread now for December 31.
