Appetizers are small first course dishes presented before the entree or main meal.


These are typically served at the beginning of the meal in order to inspire the appetite.

Frequently referred to as the "First Course." These normally consist of small portions of cold or hot foods (such as a salad, egg roll, crab cakes, buffalo wings etc) which are intended to set the digestive fluids to their duties and in doing so whet the appetite for the other courses to come.

Different cultures will have their own particular variations, for example:

  • Tapas (Spain)
  • Mezedakia (Greece)
  • Antipasto (Italy)


Although normally served before a main course, appetizers also make ideal finger food for parties and entertaining. You may also like to create a whole meal beased on selection of different appetizers.

These appetizers are part of our collection of over 60,000 recipes.

Popcorn Balls (Rodgers)

 

Ingredients

2 qt popped popcorn
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light or dark corn syrup
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup butter/margarine
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla



 

Preparation

FROM: Shelley Rodgers (Jolly Rodgers: the Portuguese Pirate!
1:161/202)

Keep popcorn warm in 200~ oven while preparing coating. In 2-quart
saucepan stir together sugar, corn syrup, water, butter and salt.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a
boil. Continue cooking without stirring until temperature reaches
270~ on a candy thermometer or until a small amount dropped into very
cold water separates into threads which are hard but not brittle.
Remove from heat. Add vanilla; stir just enough to mix through hot
syrup. Slowly pour over popcorn, stirring to coat every kernel. Cool
just enough to handle. With greased hands, shape into balls.

VARIATION: Use almond, pepermint or other flavor extract instead of
vanilla. For colorful popcorn balls, stir a few drops of food
coloring into syrup before adding to popped popcorn. [ Jolly Time
