    ...for the pre-meal bite that is served before a meal at most up-scale french (i think) restaurants normally followed by a tasting menu?


    I'm doing a tasting menu for some friends and wanted to have something like this.

    Thanks!

    I believe the word is "amuse bouche", literally "mouth amuser."

    Bon appetit!

    Another expression is sometimes used: amuse-gueule.

    What were you thinking of making? Rick Tramonto of Tru has a great book, Amuse-bouche, that is where I turn when I'm looking for inspiratrion for this kind of thing. Some of these are so good I have scaled them up to make larger courses (e.g. Shooter of Duck Wonton with Duck Consomme).
