| Feb 18, 2017 at 7:23 | comment | added | jamesqf | There really isn't a specific word for this concept. (AFAIK, but then I think of various alcoholic drinks as something that goes with food, rather than vice versa.) Appetizers, snacks, canapes, munchies &c are all used for casual food, but equally so when there's no alcohol involved. | |

I'm not sure if any English-speaking cultures have that concept. If the dialogue you're talking about were occurring in, say, the United States, I'd probably expect the word to just be "food". If the dialogue were occurring in your country, maybe you could invent a phrase, like "vodka food", and then explain what it means. | |

| Feb 17, 2017 at 17:37 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | I don't believe Anglophones in general really have the exact concept you refer to. You might be warned against drinking on an empty stomach, and I've certainly come across the recommendation to have a glass of milk to line your stomach before going out on a drinking session. But what you seem to be talking about is what I'd call nibbles. Whatever - it's on ELU as Is there an English word meaning “snacks eaten as an accompaniment while drinking alcohol”? | |
