savouries

Non-sweet finger foods

Savouries is the British spelling of savories, the plural of savoury.

These are foods that are salty or spicy rather than sweet, often served as appetizers or snacks.

At British gatherings, a spread of savouries might include cheese straws, sausage rolls, or small pastries with savory fillings.

The tea service included both sweet biscuits and savouries.
