John, someone did make egg rolls - which I didn't even get to taste (wah!). They included crab meat and vegetables.

The most creative concoction may have been tortillas (tomato-flavored ones? they were reddish) wrapped with homemade hummus, pencil-thin slices of roasted vegetables (portabello mushrooms, peppers, onions), and spinach leaves - all rolled up, cut into smaller pieces, and served w/toothpicks.

Someone brought little spinach pies, and someone else brought these delicious little oregano-rich crescent rolls.

I brought my Olive-Garlic Tapanade recipe:

black and green olives - stuffed are fine, whatever's cheapest, garlic,
and olive oil, w/proportions to taste, combined in a food processor,
and we served that on thin baguette slices brushed w/olive oil and
lightly toasted in the oven.

Desserts included halvah (which I'd never tasted before), several yummy
chocolate cakes, rice krispie bars, and lots of lovely fresh fruit.
