   How do you spell ore-derve. Lol. You know, the pre dinner snack with cocktails. I can’t even remember how to spell it well enough to find it online, with all the digi-smarts.

     @wion I really liked the answer where someone said "it starts with horse", that'll make sure that I won't forget either. Gosh, just imagine if a horse came up and started to delicately nibble away at some bite sized snacks on a tray while checking out the rest of the room to see what the other trays offer... LOL.

     @wion If you need to use it in writing and don't want to go with the French word, would "tray of appetizer bites" work?
     You probably wanted to know for a different purpose.
     And by the way of nothing, there's two more French words for appetizer: entrée and also amuse-gueule.

     That is one French word English did not need to adopt.

     @wion Hors d'oeuvres. I remember that because it starts with a horse.
