What are Hors D’ Oeuvres?

Essentially it is what Americans refer to as an Appetizer…it’s basically a smaller serving of a savory food meant to be eaten while the main course of the meal is being prepared.

Don’t laugh at me too hard, but I was in my mid-twenties before I knew what the word meant… and by then I was too embarrassed to ask anyone…so I thought I would do you all a favor and include that for those of you that may be too shy to ask too.
