appetiser

Definition

The British spelling of appetizer, because even food terminology needs to cross the Atlantic with extra vowels and pretension. A small, savory starter course that UK diners enjoy before the main event, served with a side of linguistic superiority. Proof that Americans and Brits can't even agree on how to spell the foods that make them hungry.

Example Usage

The London restaurant's appetiser menu featured items that Americans would simply call 'apps.'
