How to Find More Appetizers That Start With M

You don’t necessarily need to stick to a particular recipe or known appetizer when choosing an appetizer that starts with the letter M.

With food, you always have freedom to create your own new dish!

Keep the following tips in mind to find or create more appetizers that start with M:

  • Choose ingredients that start with M. From mangoes to marshmallows to mutton, think of a favorite ingredient or food that begins with M and use that as inspiration for your dish. When you create your own recipe, you’ll name it yourself, so just place your “M” ingredient at the front of the name (for example, mango and shrimp skewers or mango-pineapple bruschetta). For an extra challenge, you could create a dish using only ingredients that start with M!
  • Use techniques that start with M. Consider choosing cooking techniques that start with M, like marinating and mincing. Search for recipes you like that use these techniques, like marinated chicken bites or minced garlic cheese dip.
  • Look for international recipes. If none of the appetizers on our list appeal to you or you don’t have any favorite appetizers that start with M, look for international recipes. You can choose something that already serves as appetizers or something that can adapt into a finger food — for example, vegetarian-friendly Mayak Kimbap, a simple and bite-sized Korean dish.
