WHAT IS AN AMUSE BOUCHE?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>
This amuse bouche is classic. Small and for the individual.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An amuse bouche, also called an amuse gueule.\u00a0 The direct translation is something to amuse your mouth.\u00a0 It is a tiny bite-sized morsel traditionally served before the first course of a meal.\u00a0 It does not have to be related to the upcoming meal, but it can be.<\/p>\n

An amuse bouche is different than an appetizer, in that they are not ordered from a menu, but are at the discretion of the chef. The treats sometimes differ for each person at the table.\u00a0 Guest should be able to eat them in ONE bite. If two bites, it is on the verge of too big.\u00a0 Three bites is an epic fail.<\/p>\n

These are sometimes accompanied by a complementing wine, and are served as an excitement of taste buds to both prepare the guest for the meal and to offer a glimpse into the chef’s approach to cooking.<\/p>\n
