The etymology<\/strong> from appetizer<\/strong> takes us to late latin aperit\u012bvus<\/em>, which refers to that which shows a tendency to open. This word, in turn, derives from aper\u012bre<\/em> (translatable, precisely, as \"to open\"<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

What adjective<\/strong>, aperitif qualifies the product that is used for the appetite opening<\/strong> (the desire or desire to eat). In any case, its use as a noun is more common, alluding to the food and drink that are ingested before the main course<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Snacks\"<\/p>\n

Snacks are foods that are eaten before the main meal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The aperitif as a snack<\/h2>\n

The aperitif can be considered as a snack<\/strong> or a refreshment<\/strong> that is consumed before lunch or dinner. Its characteristics depend on each region since they are associated with traditions<\/strong> and cultural issues.<\/p>\n

Although in some countries the snacks are usually consumed daily, in others they are only eaten on holidays or on certain dates. It is usually about small portions of<\/strong> food<\/strong> that are enjoyed while preparing or waiting for the main meal.<\/p>\n

The tapas<\/strong>, the skewers<\/strong>, the montaditos<\/strong>, the Canapes<\/strong>, the sandwiches<\/strong> and the snacks<\/strong> or snack<\/strong> are some of the most common appetizers. Sausages<\/strong>, cheeses<\/strong> Y cold cuts<\/strong> they are also part of this set.<\/p>\n

Options by region<\/h2>\n

In Spain<\/strong>For example, the appetizers are a classic. The tapas<\/strong> or potato omelette skewers<\/strong> (potato omelette<\/strong>), the spicy potatoes<\/strong> (Spicy potatos<\/strong>), the anchovies in vinegar<\/strong> and the fried squid<\/strong> they are very popular appetizers.<\/p>\n

Mexican food, meanwhile, usually includes snacks known as nachos<\/strong> as an aperitif. These tortilla chips from corn<\/strong> they are fried and served with melted cheese. Another possibility is to accompany the nachos with guacamole.<\/p>\n

If we focus on Argentina<\/strong>, the most famous aperitif is the chopped<\/strong>. It consists of numerous small-sized containers or plates with salami<\/strong> (salami<\/strong>), Jamon<\/strong>, mortadella<\/strong>, olives<\/strong>, cheese<\/strong> Y peanuts<\/strong> (peanuts<\/strong>), to name a few possibilities.<\/p>\n

\"Vermouth\"<\/p>\n

Aperitivo is also the name given to the drink that accompanies this type of food.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Drinks considered appetizers<\/h2>\n

As we already indicated at the beginning of this article, the concept of aperitif can name the drink<\/strong> that accompanies this kind of food. In general, the aperitif is an alcoholic drink that is served very cold.<\/p>\n

The vermouth<\/strong> or vermouth<\/strong> it is among the most frequent appetizers. This wine-based liqueur is prepared with various bitter ingredients, such as wormwood<\/strong> (in fact, the term vermouth comes from the German Wermut<\/em>, which refers to this plant).<\/p>\n

Many vermouths are known for their Mark<\/strong>. We can name Cinzano<\/strong>, which is sold in three versions: white vermouth (Cinzano bianco<\/strong>), red vermouth (Cinzano rosso<\/strong>) and dry vermouth (Cinzano Extra Dry<\/strong>). Gancia<\/strong> Y Campari<\/strong> are other recognized appetizers.<\/p>\n

The concept in medicine<\/h2>\n

It is interesting to mention that, long ago, the notion of aperitif was used in the field of medicine<\/strong>. That was the name of that used for the treatment of obstructions<\/strong>, which allowed the reopening of the conduits that flow through the fluids.<\/p>\n

In this framework, it was also considered that certain spirits<\/strong> made with herbs were digestive. These beverages were believed to have gastrointestinal properties, something that is currently often debated and questioned by many doctors.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
