What Is A Canapé?
A canapé is a small appetizer featuring a cracker, slice of bread, or flat vegetable (such as a cucumber slice), topped with other savory ingredients. They are arranged decoratively, resulting in small bites that are as delicious as they are pretty.
The term canapé translates to “couch” in French, comparing the ingredients that sit atop the bread or cracker to people who sit on a couch. How fun!
