zakuski

za·kus·ki [ zə kskə ]


plural noun 
Definition:
 
Russian mixed hors d'oeuvres: blinis and breads of various kinds with toppings, especially caviar, served in Russia with vodka. Traditionally, zakuski are an alternative to the first course of a meal, but they sometimes provide a pretheater supper, followed by the main meal after the show.

[Late 19th century. < Russian, plural of zakuska "hors d'oeuvre"]
