Hors d'oeuvre

Hors d'oeuvre (also referred to as an appetizer) are light food items that are usually served before the main course of a meal, which may include cheeses, fruits, vegetables, and meats.

In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, hors d'oeuvre are rarely served at dinners, mostly reserved for parties such as celebrating holidays like Christmas.
