It's a small cup of soup served before a starter - I think so anyway!

No, it's not limited to just soup.



Another name for it is Hors d'œuvre.

I can't manage a starter and main course, never mind a pre-starter!

"Hors d'œuvre (or alternatively appetizer or starter)
refer to the food served before or outside of (French: hors) the main
dishes of a meal (the œuvre). The purpose of the hors d'œuvre is to
whet the appetite; if there is a long waiting period between when the
guests arrive and when the meal is served (for example, during a
cocktail hour), these might also serve the purpose of sustaining guests
during the long wait."

What's the difference between canapes and amuses bouches?
Title: Amuse bouche
Post by: kevvosa on July 17, 2006, 08:24:28 pm
Amuse bouches are more sophisticated. 
Title: Amuse bouche
Post by: smurfboy on July 17, 2006, 08:27:02 pm
An amuse bouche is specifically served before a meal. Canapes can be served as snacks rather than a prelude to a main meal.
