If I have to be absolutely 'correct' about this - Hors d'oeuvre can also
be food that is eaten with the 'minimum of cutlery at the table' (what do
they call cutlery in the USA - flatware, maybe? Can never remember...)

Anyway, can't imagine eating either of their lettuce appetizer offerings
anywhere other than sitting at a table with a knife and fork and a napkin
on my lap - so they might as well have put those two under 'Starters',
IMHO. Same goes for the Gnudi; to me that's a starter, not an appetizer.
