Series Summary

Appetizers first appeared in culinary history as a way to appease Greek and Roman rulers as they drank wine while waiting for their meals. Before the advent of nibbles to counter the alcohol, they might have demanded the banishment, even death of tens perhaps hundreds of servers as their stomachs growled and their buzzes took hold. In an effort to stem this loss of staff, the Roman Senate formed a special panel to investigate possible solutions. The result was the app tisor, which literally translates to “little meal.” Around this same time period, independent of any panel suggestions, peasant cooks realized they could keep family members from milling around the kitchen and getting on their nerves if they gave the hungry diners a snack before dinner.
