los amantes de los aperitivos
Explanation:
to graze = (Informal.) To eat small portions of food, as appetizers or the like, in place of a full-sized meal or to snack during the course of the day in place of regular meals.

No creo que haya un término en español, de ahí mi sugerencia:

"Aquí tenemos una lista de compras para una docena de amantes de los aperitivos."

En México también les llamamos "botanas"

Suerte, Pablo !

ambrintos que picotean


Explanation:
Una sugerencia. Se refiere a las personas que no se limitan a tres comidas al día ni se sientan a comer, pero que comen poquito aquí, poquito allá.

Quizás en Argentina se use otra palabra para esto.

"los que comen como pajaritos"


Explanation:
(hambrientos, en este caso)

No sé muy bien cómo armar la frase sin más contexto. ¿Es imprescindible indicar que son "una docena"?

He aquí una lista de mercado para una docena de los que comen como pajaritos... ¡hambrientos!

o

Esta es una lista para los que comen como pajaritos, pero cuando están hambrientos...

En fin, son sólo un par de sugerencias.

Suerte,

mmm

Para mí graze es también pastar y lo asocio con los rumiantes. ¿No estamos hablando de vegetarianos? En todo caso lo de pajaritos serviviría...

neutral  JaneTranslates: No se trata de vegetarianos. "Graze" sí es pastar y se usa en estrategias de dietas para describir a los que, como los rumiantes, se pasan el día comiendo, un poquito aquí, un poquito allá...

comensales


Explanation:
para mí to graze no implica ni aperitivos, ni comer poquito; significa pastorear (como el ganado) y es una forma humorística de hablar de comer, sería parecido a darle al diente. Suerte
