If you've been a fan of Top Chef, then this definition is already part of your vocab. If not, then read up:
Amuse-Bouche
Bite-sized tidbits served before the meal (usually before appetizers) in order to excite the taste buds and offer a glimpse of what's to come.
Translated from French, amuse-bouche literally means "mouth amuser."













future 'top chef' contestants need to know this, though! lol. it's always amusing (yeah yeah, no pun intended) when someone gets the amuse-bouche challenge totally wrong.
