An appetizer is a small dish of food or a drink that is taken before a meal or the main course of a meal with the aim of stimulating one's appetite. It may also refer to the first full length studio album by hard rock, heavy metal and progressive metal band known as Freak Kitchen.
Appetizers have fallen way off the deep end with people Just wanting more and more. hey have gotten off track of what the appetizers role is supposed to play in the meal. This is mostly found in averagely priced establishments that the general public is able to afford. It's tough in this economy and most people wanting to dine out with the family is looking for the most for their dining out dollars..In a more upscale and pricier restaurant they will offer an "Amuse Bouche". This is an appetizer intended to do just that, appetize. It is much smaller in size only aiming to provide the customer 2 or 3 bites as a taste offering and not to fill up so they will be able to enjoy the rest of their smaller more appropriately sized meal. Ironically-this place will probably cost more than double what you would spend at the restaurant hat will serve a portion large enough to bust the gut of your averagelyoverweight person.
the purpose of an appetizer is of course to appetize.
this means u eat it before ur main course such that it stimulates ur hunger and opens up ur craving.
if u order an appetizer and got full from it..this only shows that u are not even hungry before the meal. in that case, you shouldnt even be ordering the appetizer..just eat the main course will do. appetizer is always served light in flavour and rather small in portion. ppl usually order the appetizer because they are hungry and cant wait for the main course to arrive. therefore they order the appetizer to fill up their time and their craving.
many cultures have appetizers. too broad to say which one inspires it. if u ever been to Thai restaurants..they usually serve mango salads as appetizers. Chinese restaurants usually serve peanuts. Western restaurants often serve broth etc..
Food plays a major role in Chinese New Year celebrations. Pearl balls are frequently served at Chinese New Year celebrations. The round meatball signifies reunion, and this is traditionally a time for families to come together. Egg Rolls (Spring Rolls) are also popular - they are thought to symbolize wealth, since the roll resembles a 10-ounce gold bar. And you'll often find families making dumplings together on New Year's Eve, particularly in northern China.
