A canapé () is a type of starter, a small, prepared, and often decorative food, consisting of a small piece of bread (sometimes toasted) or cracker, wrapped or topped with some savoury food, held in the fingers and often eaten in one bite.
==Name== The name comes from the French word for sofa, drawing on the analogy that the garnish sits atop the bread as people do on a sofa.
