Hors d�oeuvre
Hors d'oeuvre
I think hors d'oeuvre has been adopted in the food glossary and cuisine vocabulary. You may want to keep it as is.
Hors d'oeuvre
Small savory appetizers served before the meal, customarily with appetizers or cocktails. They are usually one or two-bite size and can be cold or hot. Hors d’oeuvre may be in the form of a fancy Canapé or as simple as a selection of Crudités. The word hors d'oeuvre' is properly used for both the singular and plural forms. The reason is that the term translates literally as (dishes) 'outside the work (meal)' and no matter how many dishes there are, there is only one 'work.' In today's modem parlance, however, the plural is often spoken and written as hors d’oeuvres&
hungrymonster.com
The noun hors d'oeuvre has one meaning:
Meaning #1: a dish served as an appetizer before the main meal
