Appetizers play an important part in a Jewish-style meal. They are intended to sharpen your appetite for the courses to follow, and most Jewish families like meals of several courses. Incidentally, many of the appetizers which follow are just about ideal for cocktail parties—bowls of chopped liver served with thinly sliced rye bread; pickled herring cut into small pieces; eggplant spread on pumpernickel. In the FISH section you will find a recipe that has become a great favorite as an appetizer: tiny balls of gefilte fish served with a horseradish dip. Bite-size knishes, blintzes or miniature strudels are popular, too. But above all, remember that appetizers are intended to pique or stimulate your appetite, not satisfy it.
