Appetizers
An hors d'oeuvre ( ; ), appetiser, appetizer or starter is a small dish served before a meal in European cuisine. Some hors d'oeuvres are served cold, others hot. 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.''Oxford English Dictionary'', First Edition, 189''s.v.'' Typically smaller than a main dish, an hors d'oeuvre is often designed to be eaten by hand. Hors d'oeuvre are typically served at parties as a small "snack" before a main course. Etymology in French literally means 'outside the work', that is "not part of the ordinary set of courses in a meal". In practice, it is a dish which stands on its own as a snack or supports the main course. The French spelling is the same for singular and plural usage. In English, the typographic ligature is usually replaced by the digraph and two plural forms are acce ...

Tagalog People
The Tagalog people are an Austronesian Ethnic groups in the Philippines, ethnic group native to the Philippines, particularly the Metro Manila and Calabarzon regions and Marinduque province of southern Luzon, and comprise the majority in the provinces of Bulacan, Bataan, Nueva Ecija, Aurora (province), Aurora, and Zambales in Central Luzon and the island of Mindoro. Etymology The most popular etymology for the endonym "Tagalog" is the term ''tagá-ilog'', which means "people from [along] the river" (the prefix ''tagá-'' meaning "coming from" or "native of"). However, the Filipino historian Trinidad Pardo de Tavera in ''Etimología de los Nombres de Razas de Filipinas'' (1901) concludes that this origin is linguistically unlikely, because the ''i-'' in ''ilog'' should have been retained if it were the case. De Tavera and other authors instead propose an origin from ''tagá-álog'', which means "people from the lowlands", from the archaic meaning of the noun ''álog'', meanin ...

Congee
Congee ( , derived from Tamil language, Tamil ), is a form of savoury rice porridge made by boiling rice in a large amount of water until the rice softens. Depending on rice–water ratio, the thickness of congee varies from a Western oatmeal porridge to a gruel. Since the history of rice cultivation in Asia stretches back to the Baiyue-inhabited lower Yangtze circa 10,000 BC, congee is unlikely to have appeared before that date. Congee is typically served with side dishes, or it can be topped with meat, fish, and Chinese pickles, pickled vegetables. Vivid experiences of eating or delivering thin congee as wartime or famine food often feature in diaries and chronicles. In some cultures, congee is eaten primarily as a breakfast food or late supper; some may also eat it as a substitute for rice at other meals. It is often considered suitable for the sick as a mild, easily digestible food. Etymology The popular English name ''congee'' derives from the Tamil language, Tamil wor ...
