Amuses-bouche, also called amuse-gueule, are tiny bite-sized morsels served before the hors d'œuvre or first course of a meal. These, often accompanied by a proper complementing wine, are served as an excitement of taste buds to both prepare the guest for the meal and to offer a glimpse into the chef's approach to cooking.
The word is French, literally translated to "mouth amuser" [for bouche = mouth; amuser = to amuse, to please]. The proper plural form is amuses-bouche. The original French word, more frequently employed, is amuse-gueule (gueule is slang for mouth but in fact means animal's mouth (one word in French)), although amuse-bouche is considered more polite and is usually used on menus in more refined restaurants.

Amuse Bouche Translates to "fun for the mouth", I am a chef and i can tell you that everybody else who answered this question has no idea what it is and they gave you the definiton they found somewhere else. Yes it is french and you recieve the amuse before your meal, it is not an appitizer or an hors deorve , it is a small offering before your meal that is always free and it lets you know what type of meal to expect when you order off the menu

an amuse bouche is the pre-courser,before the appetizer too, to the whole meal and should only be one, two at the most, tiny bite(s).
