A sweet or savory dish served between the main courses at a formal dinner, or a light dessert.
French from entre (between) + mets (dish); the plural and modern singular form of entremess. Originally meant an elaborate theatrical food course, now typically refers to elegant desserts.
Today's entremets are basically edible art—pastry chefs use them to show off crazy skills with mirror glazes, geometric shapes, and gravity-defying designs that look almost too beautiful to eat (but you should eat them anyway).
