Appetizers

From chopped liver to herring to bean salads, Jewish appetizers are adored by Jews and non-Jews alike. Festive meals from the weekly Shabbat to annual holidays almost always include a selection of appetizers. In fact, what often distinguishes an everyday meal from a celebration is the serving of these delicacies. Both Ashkenazim and Sephardim have a wealth of tasty morsels to sharpen the appetite and enhance the sociability of the occasion.
