If you've been a fan of Top Chef [0], 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."
