The starter represents the first course of a lunch and precedes the so-called first dish. It is composed of various foods, essentially cold and in small quantities, fit to whet the appetite and to tempt and predispose the palate to the following courses. All cookeries in the world own their starters whose definition includes both products in oil and in vinegar as small appetizers stimulating appetite. However, they are more and more reaching a well wider and deeper connotation, to the extent of frequently replacing a complete meal. They exist in an infinity of varieties: bittersweet, in oil with a base of tomato, enriched with aromatic herbs, tuna and anchovies. Therefore, it has to be inviting, cherished in the least details to be eyecatching. The custom to open meals with a starter is most common and it belongs both to the traditions of high cookery and to those of country and family cooking. The side dish is a fresh or cooked arrangement of vegetables or mushrooms that accompanies the main course of meat, fish or eggs. Tealdi offers a fully complete variety to satisfy all palates and recipes with creation and taste.
