Have yourself a merry little endive

Where's all this endive coming from suddenly? I've been to three schmantzy holiday parties and all three served spreads on endive rather than on crackers or breads. Endive leaves provide nifty little canoes for food: they variously carried a chicken salad, a nut concoction and a seafoody mix. They're perfectly engineered for the task and make everything taste fresh. Bring on the endives and stuffing!
