Appetizer
food items served before the main courses of a meal
An appetizer or hors d'oeuvre is a small dish of an overall meal. It can also be a drink or multiple drinks containing alcohol. Common examples include: shrimp cocktail, calamari, salad, potato skins, mussels, bruschetta or cheese and crackers. An appetizer may also be very elegant in some restaurants.[1][2]
They are often referred to as snacks or hors d'oeuvres.
