HORS D'ŒUVRE - Light snacks or finger food served before a meal or at the beginning of the meal. This might, for example, include a hot seafood item, a cold vegetarian item, a hot poultry item and a cold proscuitto item. A typical Hors d'œuvre might include the following dishes: Canapés; Crudités; Snack foods; Cheeses; Sausages; Dumplings; and Bruschetta.
Hors d'œuvre, (French plural: hors d'œuvre, without an extra s; English plural often hors d'œuvres), also known as appetizer(s) are the food served before or outside of (French: hors de) the main courses of a meal (œuvre, literally “work”). For a one-hour period prior to a meal, three or four passed hors d'oeuvres per person are appropriate. This combination might, for example, include a hot seafood item, a cold vegetarian item, a hot poultry item and a cold proscuitto item. A station with crudite (vegetables) fruit and cheese would also suffice.
