Hors d'oeuvres, commonly known as finger food or appetizers, is a type of food consumed primarily in the hand which does not constitute a full meal when consumed. Within the context of a seated lunch or dinner, these items are served on a plate for a dining group to share. At parties, these items are served in large trays for individual consumption. In [[Urcea]], these are among the most common types of food consumed, and in many formal social functions they are the only types of food served. In addition to solid items, dips are also extremely popular for both sit down and party settings. Consumption of hors d'oeuvres is sometimes considered to be a fourth meal between lunch and dinner. In many bars and restaurants, hors d'oeuvres are served as part of a drink combination package, with customers receiving free and unlimited access to available hors d'oeuvres provided they order a minimum number of drinks. | Hors d'oeuvres, commonly known as finger food or appetizers, is a type of food consumed primarily in the hand which does not constitute a full meal when consumed.
