Cold and hot snacks are light dishes that are served before a meal to enhance appetite or for an aperitif. These are sandwiches, tartlets, various mini rolls, pates… A lot depends on their presentation: an original and appetising snack prepares guests for what the feast will be like. Homemade snacks and buffet snacks are usually fresh, cooked or pickled vegetables, mushrooms, meat, fish, sausages, canned meat and fish, eggs or cheese.
