petits canapés 叫什么

[Kenny同志]

请教同志们

What is the Chinese name of petits canapés ?

[skylee]

Looks like tapas/pintxos to me.

Perhaps you could consider 小點心 or 餐前小食/小吃 or 開胃菜 or 下酒菜. Since it is french, perhaps you could also add 法式 in front.

I know it's not an exact translation, but I think 点心 is a reasonable description.

Thank you.

谢谢二位同志。

Literally means "small sofas/couches"?

(petits) canapés = 下酒小菜*

Canape = 卡纳普 [name] = 下酒小菜 [food]( = petits canapés? 小 = "small" in Chinese which is the exact translation of "petit/petits" or "petite/petites" in French)

Maybe 下酒小菜 could = petits canapés as a whole.

下酒小菜 = 下酒时吃的小菜 = appetizers?

Thank you for your detailed explanation, Trien.

I would say that the closest thing to petit canepes is dian xin, which is probably the eastern equivalent of the french thing- which is usually small items of food-- finger food in English I suppose.

下酒小菜 describes items of food which help you drink.

This would include nuts and bar snacks..

I would probably go with 法式小點心 as Skylee sugested, if I were you!

Thank you, Shi Tong, very impressive.

No problem.. the answers were already there, I just cherry picked them!
