Appetizers, also know as hors d'oeuvres are small portioned food items served before the main course of a meal. If there is a period between when guests arrive and when the meal will be served you can keep your guests from getting too hungry with some finger foods. They can also be served, sitting at the table before your main dish is ready.

Boulette - Meatballs German Style
Boulette - Meatballs German Style

This was a common meal in German blue collar working class families. It is still very popular on buffets, and even used to become "hip" recently for people who got bored with mussels, salmon or caviar on buffets. People in old times often did not use ground meat, but ground cheap meat leftovers. This used to be pub food in the very old times in Germany as you could store it for a long time - no fridge was around at that time, only a pantry. It is perfect as a cold snack for long road trips.
