Surely everyone thought about how the snacks differ from all other dishes. Snacks are not only what alcoholic and low alcohol drinks usually have. The appetizer should also whet your appetite before serving the main course, and not leave you hungry at the buffet table.

For this reason, the purpose and ingredients of the appetizers can be very diverse, depending on which case served as the reason for their preparation.
If a gala dinner or dinner with meal changes is prepared, then the purpose of the snack will be to stimulate appetite. It should be light snacks, such as spicy salads, pickles, sandwiches with seafood.
And for the buffet, festive snacks that are able to feed guests are indispensable. In this case, the snack should be more satisfying. Pieces of meat and olives will not get off here. It can be a hearty salad, cold meat or even a pie.
The main thing is to arrange everything correctly and, if necessary, divide into portions.
What will be the snack depends on many factors. And this is not only a type of event, but also its contingent. The appetizer for girls who drink light wine will be one, and for guys planning to drink beer - another. If grandmothers gather at the table, a skilled housewife will cook and serve a completely different snack than at a children's party. Vegetarians will enjoy lighter snacks, while others will be suitable for meat-eaters.
The appetizer and its choice are the face of a real hostess.
