Appetizers
Originally appetizers were created to stimulate one’s palate in preparation for the main course or entrée. Nowadays, they have become a course with their own status, sometimes they are the only course served! As appetizers precede a meal, beverages, namely cocktails are included in this category along with:
- Hors d’ oeuvres: served at the table as a course before the entrée, or as portioned foods served hold or cold either before a seated meal or at a buffet table for people to help themselves.
- Canapé: this is a small piece of bread or pastry with a savory topping, often served with drinks at a reception or formal party. Crostinis would fall under this category of appetizer.
- Crudités: this lovely French word refers to raw vegetables, usually served with a dip.
- Chips & Dips, with the most popular chip in the U.S. being the potato chip and the most popular dip being onion dip, this type of appetizer is self service and belongs on a buffet table.
- Finger food: is the catch all term given to food that does not necessarily fall into any of the above groups.
