Hors d'oeuvre


Hors d'oeuvre - (ohr DERV)
French: literally "apart from the main work"), also known as appetizers, starters, or the first course, are food items served before the main courses of a meal.

If there is an extended period between when guests arrive and when the meal is served (for example during a cocktail hour), these might also serve the purpose of sustaining guests during the wait, in the same way that aperitifs are served as a drink before meals.
