Hors d'oeuvre

Hors d'oeuvre (/ɔr ˈdɜrv, ˈdɜrvr(ə)/; French: hors d'œuvre ( listen), literally "apart from the work") or the first course, are food items served before the main courses of a meal, typically smaller than main dishes, and often meant to be eaten by hand (with minimal use of silverware).
