    Appetizers

    History of Appetizer
    Appetizers were originally introduced by the Athenians as a buffet in the early third century B.C.
    They would serve sea urchins, cockles, sturgeon, and garlic. However they were unpopular to
    start as these tiny meals weren’t followed up with a main course, leaving everyone hungry and
    wanting more. It wasn’t until the nineteenth century that appetizers truly caught on, as meals
    evolved into more of a structured ordeal.
    Aperitifs came about by the Romans and were classified as a liquid appetizer that typically
    contained alcohol. In addition to inciting hunger like food appetizers, the purposes for aperitifs
    were also meant to help with the imminent digestion process. These drinks would be shared
    from a single glass and passed around the table to all members of the eating party. Aperitifs are
    still utilized today, typically with the company of food appetizers.
    The word itself, “appetizer,” as being used in the Americas and England in the1860s, is more of
    a local flavor than “hors d’oeuvres.” For a time, appetizers are served between the main course
    and dessert as a refresher, but by the twentieth century they had taken their place as a
    precursor to the main course. On the other hand it is said that appetizers are the dishes that can
    truly be considered Filipino because we are best known for using our hands to eat the small
    finger foods that come with the first course. Appetizers can include anything from fish to meat,
    nuts and chips. They are often served before dinner or at large family lunches.
