“An hors d’oeuvre (/ɔːr ˈdɜːrv(rə)/or DURV(-rə); French: hors-d’œuvre[ɔʁ dœvʁ] (listen)), appetizer^[1] or starter^[2] is a small dish served before a meal^[3] in European cuisine. Some hors d’oeuvres are served cold, others hot.^[4] Hors d’oeuvres may be served at the dinner table as a part of the meal, or they may be served before seating, such as at a reception or cocktail party. Formerly, hors d’oeuvres were also served between courses.^[5]
Typically smaller than the main dish, an hors d’oeuvre is often designed to be eaten by hand.
American appetizers and cocktail hors d’oeuvres
The term appetiser (American English: appetizer) is a synonym for hors d’oeuvre. It was first used in the United States and England simultaneously in 1860. Americans also use the term to define the first of three courses in a meal, an optional one generally set on the table before guests were seated.^[9] Drinks before dinner became a custom towards the end of the 19th century. As this new fashion caught on, the British took inspiration from the French to begin serving hors d’oeuvres before dinner.^[25]
A cocktail party is considered a small gathering with mixed drinks and light snacks.^[26] Hors d’oeuvres may be served as the only food offered at cocktail parties and receptions, where no dinner is served afterward.^[27] After the end of prohibition in the United States, the cocktail party gained acceptance.^[8][9] Prior to the First World War, American dinner guests would be expected to enter the dining room immediately where drinks would be served at the table with appetizers.
This changed by the 1920s when hors d’oeuvres were served prior to a non-alcoholic cocktail; however, after the repeal of Prohibition in the United States, cocktail parties became popular with many different hors d’oeuvres meant as something to help counter the stronger drinks.^[9][11] It is the cocktail party that helped transfer the hors d’oeuvres from the formal dining table to the mobility of the serving tray. These appetizers passed around the cocktail party may also be referred to as canapés.^[11]“

Not sure if you should eat canned mushrooms? The information below may enlighten you!
“Canned mushrooms are small, but mighty when it comes to health benefits. They are a rich source of several vitamins and minerals.
Potential Health Benefits of Canned Mushrooms
Canned mushrooms have the same nutritional content as fresh mushrooms. However, the added sodium from the canning brine (saltwater) is something to consider if you are trying to limit how much sodium you have.
The phosphorus in canned mushrooms helps red cells deliver oxygen and may give you more energy.
Canned mushrooms can also:
Help give you stronger bones and healthier teeth. Although bone health is primarily related to calcium, minerals such as phosphorus are also important in supporting healthy bones. Mushrooms contain a fair amount of phosphorus to promote greater bone and tooth health.
Improve your digestion. The fiber in canned mushrooms contributes to a healthy digestive system. The body needs fiber to bulk up a stool so it can pass more easily through your digestive tract. Adding fiber to your diet also helps if your stool is thin or watery.”
