Canapé
A canapé or canape (French for canopy and known in
Italy as tartine) is a small, prepared and usually decorative
hors d'oeuvres, held in the
fingers and often eaten in one bite. Because they are often served during cocktail hours, it is often desired that a canapé be either
salty or
spicy, in order to encourage guests to drink more. A canapé may also be referred to as
finger food, although not all finger foods are canapés.
Crackers or small slices of
bread or
toast or
puff pastry, cut into various shapes, serve as the base for savory
butters or
pastes, often topped with a "canopy" of such
savory foods as
meat,
cheese,
fish,
caviar,
foie gras,
purees or
relish.
