Is it time to go beyond chips and dips?
Appetizers. Hors d’oeuvres. Finger foods.
Whatever term you use, these tasty tidbits do much more than just tide guests over until dinner. In fact, the word hors d’oeuvres means “outside the main meal” – they set the stage for the meal that is to follow. They’re versatile enough to awaken and enhance the appetite as a refreshing first course, yet with enough variety and quantity, they can also deliver total party sustenance all on their own. Serving a selection of these enticing bites is a sure-fire way to create a fun, festive atmosphere.
