Cooking / Culinary | | French term or phrase: Amuse bouche du moment | | In a menu. I do not like "pre-starters of the day". Any other suggestion? |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseMartin Cassell: 2:15pm Oct 5, 2007: presume the term is meant to be « amuse-bouche »
Martin Cassell: 2:32pm Oct 5, 2007: ??? I'm puzzled - my answer has gone the way of one of these nibbles!
NancyLynn: 2:46pm Oct 5, 2007: To Martin: I think you might have hit "Hide this answer" by mistake, so I restored it for you, hope that's what you wanted ;-) If not, hide it again.
Virgile: 2:46pm Oct 5, 2007: sorry, that was amuse bouche of course! -
NancyLynn: 2:47pm Oct 5, 2007: I also edited the question to read "amuse-bouche".
NancyLynn: 2:47pm Oct 5, 2007: Snap! Our comments crossed in cyberspace ;-)
Martin Cassell: 3:38pm Oct 5, 2007: Thanks, Nancy.
Martin Cassell: 3:49pm Oct 5, 2007: Virgile, is this for a restaurant in Australia? How upmarket is it? What terms do other similar places use? Meal and food terminology is so subject to fashion it's more a question of being a chameleon.
Virgile: 3:58pm Oct 5, 2007: This is for a very posh company in France offering corporate cocktails, cooking workshops, banquets, etc. I think they are located in a tourist location and also offer their service internationally

| | today's amuse-bouche | Explanation:
Here in California EVERYBODY uses amuse-bouche. However, it's not an appetizer, it's a pre-appetizer. I prefer the traditional amuse-geule.

| Note from asker to answererThanks to all. I rallied to the general consensus and chose this version. However I also suggested "tongue teaser" to the client, should he absolutely want a translation! (Personally, I quite like tongue teaser!)
