Appetizers have been around for generations. Nearly every culture on the planet has some form of this delicious tradition of giving guests, friends, and family a little something special to start the meal. Appetizers are used for every type of get-together from sophisticated dinner parties and receptions, to movie nights and football parties. They are the way we communicate to those that are attending that the meeting is intentional; that this is indeed a party, an event, something that was done on purpose. A well planned line-up of great simple appetizers really do make the evening. A perfect appetizer can get the night started and spark conversations and smiles in a way that few other things can.Appetizers come in a wide variety of shapes and styles, almost as many as their main dish counterparts. The appetizer is commonly a finger food, designed to be quick and easy to pick up and eat, and small enough to allow everyone to sample some of it. They are always smaller than the main dish, which may sound like a moot point, but it's actually very important. Appetizers compliment and preview the coming of the main dish, but if they are served in bigger portions than the main dish, it can cause the star of the meal, the main course, to get over shadowed. So, serving size is important. The main reasons for having appetizers at all is help guest feel less hungry as they arrive, especially if the meal is going to take some time to prepare, not to steal the show from your perfect main course.Thanks to Culinary Canary, you'll have your very own set of unique and easy to make appetizer recipes that everyone can enjoy.
