francês termo ou frase: Amuse bouche du moment
In a menu. I do not like "pre-starters of the day". Any other suggestion?

Nota(s) de/para quem perguntou
Martin Cassell: 14:15 Oct 5, 2007: presume the term is meant to be « amuse-bouche »
Martin Cassell: 14:32 Oct 5, 2007: ??? I'm puzzled - my answer has gone the way of one of these nibbles!
Nancy Lynn Bogar: 14:46 Oct 5, 2007: To Martin: I think you might have hit "Hide this answer" by mistake, so I restored it for you, hope that's what you wanted ;-) If not, hide it again.
Virgile: 14:46 Oct 5, 2007: sorry, that was amuse bouche of course! -
Nancy Lynn Bogar: 14:47 Oct 5, 2007: I also edited the question to read "amuse-bouche".
Nancy Lynn Bogar: 14:47 Oct 5, 2007: Snap! Our comments crossed in cyberspace ;-)
Martin Cassell: 15:38 Oct 5, 2007: Thanks, Nancy.
Martin Cassell: 15:49 Oct 5, 2007: Virgile, is this for a restaurant in Australia? How upmarket is it? What terms do other similar places use? Meal and food terminology is so subject to fashion it's more a question of being a chameleon.
Virgile: 15:58 Oct 5, 2007: This is for a very posh company in France offering corporate cocktails, cooking workshops, banquets, etc. I think they are located in a tourist location and also offer their service internationally

today's amuse-bouche
Explicação:
Here in California EVERYBODY uses amuse-bouche. However, it's not an appetizer, it's a pre-appetizer. I prefer the traditional amuse-geule.

Thanks to all. I rallied to the general consensus and chose this version. However I also suggested "tongue teaser" to the client, should he absolutely want a translation! (Personally, I quite like tongue teaser!)

concordo Katherine Mérignac: exactly what I was going to put!
0 min
  -> thanks Katherine: one each!

neutro Mark Nathan: but an amuse bouche is not something that you order, it comes free before the actual meal - this risks confusing it with regular starters
4 mins
  -> true in lots of cases, but we don't really know the exact context here

concordo Carol Gullidge: I THINK that if it's on a menu, then it's probably not free. Those freebies don't get mentioned on the menu, so usually come as a surprise - at least in my experience
57 mins
  -> thanks Carol: Mark is right, but I think it's easy enough to specify "complimentary" if it seems necessary; depends on clientele's expectations, I suppose.

concordo Sheila Wilson: Virgile's comment confirms this comes 'free' with the meal - I think in this case there is no problem with confusion

Hors d'oeuvre


Explicação:
Chef's hors-d'oeuvre (hors-d'oeuvre is also often used on American menus, but not so much in England)
Seasonal hors-d'oeuvre
Chef's amuse-bouches (amuse-bouches is often used on American menus and even in England)
I have been working in this industry for 18 years, 12 of which in the states. I used to create menus and that's the terminology we used.
I don't know about Canada though.

Comentários dos colegas sobre esta resposta (e respostas do respondente)
neutro Martin Cassell: I think the variety of responses highlights that it's hard to be so categorical in a field like this: so much depends on specific readerships (or should that be "eaterships"?)
