Hors D'Ouevre is what you mean... it is a french term meaning "outside of work" or "outside the main event." In other words it is outside of the main course - a tidbit served before the entree to stimulate the appetite.

You mean hors d'ouevre.
There's also mouve bouche.
Both are meant as appetisers.
Mille pardon, mais je ne parle pas d'anglais tres claire.
