What is a canapé?

Sandwiches are a whole group of dishes. It also includes canapes - bread croutons with filling, usually with a beautiful presentation or on a skewer.

IMPORTANT: A skewer (atle) is both a decorative and functional element of a canape.

Firstly, it decorates the dish (skewers can be wooden, bamboo, metal, shaped, colored plastic, etc.).

Secondly, by holding a skewer, you can put the mini-sandwich directly into your mouth without getting your hands dirty with the filling.
The size of the canape is small. It is supposed to be eaten at one time, whole, without cutting or biting

1. The weight of a small crouton with filling ranges from 60 g to 80 g
2. Canapés can be filled with anything: meat, fish, pate, cheese, vegetables. There are also sweet versions of the dish
3. If canapés are served at a buffet table, there may not be skewers on them. Sandwiches are then eaten with your hands
4. Croutons for appetizers should be very thin, 5 - 7 mm. They are fried in olive oil or dried in the oven.
5. The shape of the croutons, acting as a substrate, can be very different - rectangular, triangular, round, figured
   In addition to bread, the base for canapés can be vegetables or fruits, crackers, chips, cheese, sweet cookies, and other products
6. Sandwiches for a buffet table can have several layers of filling. The most convenient and “combinable” to taste are three-layer canapés.
7. Some experimenters manage to build real “high-rise buildings”, which, unfortunately, cannot always fit into the mouth. And choosing five or six products whose flavors would combine harmoniously is also very difficult

IMPORTANT: The basis of the canapé should be a crouton, not a piece fresh bread, has practical significance. Toasted or dried bread does not get soggy from the filling, the sandwich remains presentable appearance throughout the event

There are several rules for serving canapés:

1. Mini sandwiches are served cold. It is even recommended to keep them in the refrigerator for some time in order to harmonize the tastes of the products mixed in the filling.
2. Canapés are served on wide platters. You can also use special shelves. They are posted in large quantities and, as a rule, one layer. But some creative chefs manage to make real sculptures out of canapés
3. There must be napkins next to the canapés.
4. Skewers can be inserted into sandwiches right away or cups with them can be placed near the dishes so that the guest can self-serve
5. At the moment when the guests sit down at the table, the buffet version of the sandwiches should already be served
6. They eat canapes with alcoholic, low-alcohol and without alcoholic drinks, including with tea
