A Little Back Story About Canapés
The word canapés comes from the native French word that actually refers to a sofa.
Canapés originated somewhere in the mid-1800s and found their way over to Australia somewhere in the 20th century.
Ever since then they have been a staple of events and dinner parties.
The Four Parts of Canapé
Canapés is a type of hors d’oeuvres which consists of four main parts:-
The first part which is the base is a small piece of pastry, bread or cracker. Bruschetta or crostini can be called the classic examples of canapés.
The canapés in the present day are even made up of a small pancake or a pastry shell.
The second part is a layer of flavourful spread which could be either mayonnaise, cream cheese or even a simple layer of butter.
The purpose of this part is to add just the right amount of moisture so that the bread underneath doesn’t get soggy.
The other main job of this layer is to act as a sort of glue so as to prevent the toppings from sliding off the base.
