Still too much food.
If you have wheat-free friends, Mary's Gone Crackers made of rice and seeds are not only acceptable but IMO superior to most ordinary crackers. Ingredients indicate a fair bit of salt (8% RDA for 140 calories) but you don't taste it, it's like the perfect point between making grains taste good and actually tasting any salt. Though that's not the superiority, that comes from the seed-based flavor, I guess.
Mortadella scares the guests.
Sabra hummus still wins for being smooth and oil-rich; Athenos is... not chunky, let's say textured? -- like Tribe. I think better than Tribe, but I'm not sure. Also allegedly made with actual olive oil, vs. lots of canola oil.
N's pita chips were pretty good, at least before they went dry and stale. Cut pita wedges fried in oil and garlic, IIRC.
Montchevre Mini cabrie goat brie is awesome. Expensive, but awesome.
