Canapé is the French word for "couch." The living room sofa. The sectional. Food blog The Canape Kitchen, suggests that, while the term is all-encompassing of any type of couch, it best describes something stylish and sophisticated, like a settee or maybe a Chesterfield. Perhaps this is because people tend to eat their canapés in the living room while chatting as opposed to eating a meal at the dining room table. Not really. According to PBS, the term came about in France in the late 18th century when someone (probably an upper crust family's house chef) sat their traditional hors d'oeuvre on top of a piece of bread. The creation was reminiscent of a person sitting on a couch.
Today the term canapé is used for any bite-sized food served at parties and events. Sometimes it involves a cracker, toast, or piece of bread, and other times it does not. For the most part, though, canapes are attractive and delicious-looking. They tend to take time to assemble but that's because they are served to guests who the host wants to make feel special. While the ingredients certainly don't have to be fancy and expensive, the overall result should be something beautiful to behold.
