Do you take or make platter when you go somewhere else/host a party? What kinds do you prepare? This is inspired by having to take a platter of our "favourite celebration food" in for Ella-Roses preschool morning tea after their performance on Friday morning. I'll miss the performance but I am making some mini pavlovas for Ella to take in so that my MiL doesn't have to make something.
If you had to make one fruit platter, one dessert platter, and one entree platter (savoury/meat/whatever else you like) what would they be?
What are some of the best ones you have seen/tasted?

I don't usually make food for someone else's party, unless the host specifically asks for it.
At every party I've been to or hosted there has always been the crackers/cheeses/cabana platter, and the carrot sticks/celery sticks/crackers/dip platter. My step family are all good cooks so they make yummy stuff. On the other hand my inlaws are pretty average cooks, and they buy the platters from Woolies with the different types of wraps and they are kinda gross.
So...
Fruit platter would have - mango slices, strawberries, kiwi, grapes, rock melon. All things that aren't too messy, plus apples go brown too quickly and bananas go mushy.
Entree platter would have - bite-sized pieces of banana wrapped with a strip of bacon and grilled (weird combination but yummy), mini quiches, vegetarian mini pizzas, and maybe some sort of pastry bites.
Dessert platter would have - chocolate strawberries, vol-au-vants filled with cream and fruit, chocolate-meringue slice and blackberry-coconut slice.
