Starters are the dishes that are served before the main course. These are the appetizers that make the dining experience more enjoyable.

Other synonyms for starters include 'entrees,' 'openers,' 'snacks,' 'hors d'oeuvres,' 'finger foods,' 'nibbles,' and 'tasters.' Each of these terms refers to a different aspect of the concept of starters, but they all mean the same thing. Whether it's appetizers, entrees, finger foods, or snacks, these dishes all serve the same purpose of tantalizing the taste buds and preparing diners for the main course.
