Informal dinner party for 10 - need ideas

[Peasie]

Some old and very dear friends are coming by on Sunday evening. They are not Jamaicans and so they have asked for Jamaican food. I am not going to go too crazy and dere will be no big cooking. I also love to enjoy my own party so no standing over food ting and most entertainment will be in kitchen and living room (I don't have a dining room).

Menu:
jerk chicken
red beans (a la stew peas)
rice
salad - avocado, mixed greens, and sumpn else from Gen's salad list

Dessert:
Someone is bringing her famous banana pudding
cheese platter wid fruit

I need ideas for appetizer to match above theme.

PZ, your menu sounds great but...

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Click to reveal.. <input type="button" class="form-button" value="Show me!" onclick="toggle_spoiler(this, 'Yikes, my eyes!', 'Show me!')" /></div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div style="display: none;">I want the oxtail plate.

I'll put it over my rice and take some cabbage or callaloo on the side. Yum!
</div></div></div>

Big thumbs up on the cocktail patties. (I am assuming these are miniature beef, chicken, etc. patties.)
