What is an "amuse-bouche"?

Actually means " delight the mouth."

What a delicious idea

I learned this years ago on "Friends". As part of a job interview, Monica, an aspiring chef, offered her perspective employer an amuse bouche as her first offering. Unfortunately, he had smoked a joint on the way to the interview and had the munchies, so the amuse bouche whet his appetite so much that he couldn't wait the eight minutes for the next course, and started eating gummy bears instead! Hilarious.... and, as it turned out, educational, cos I never forgot this term!

The Chef version of, "First one's free..."

I've only been offered one once. It was a small vial of tomato soup, very tasty. But then I have never eaten in a Michelin star restaurant.

I've been associated with the hotel industry for the last 40 years but I have come across the word today only. it's really amusing indeed!! Very nice. Thanks for sharing the information and enlightening us.

My son-in-law is a chef, I must ask him about it. I got it right by pure guesswork.
