Do You Know:
Appetizers are food items, which are served before the main courses of a meal, if there is an extended period between when guests arrive and the meal is served (for example, during a cocktail hour). These might also serve the purpose of sustaining guests during the wait.
Appetizers may be served at the table as a part of the sit-down meal or they may be served before sitting at the table.
