Top answer

The first courses of multi-course meals are called starters in the UK, appetizers in the USA, antipasti in Italy and hors-d'oeuvres in France. A titbit (or tidbit ) is a small piece of tasty food often given as a treat. A canapé (also crostini ) is a small piece of bread or pastry with a savoury topping, often served with drinks as a snack at a reception or welcome meeting for example.
