What is sample platter?

A sample platter is a dish or platter that contains a selection of various small portions of food items, often served as an appetizer or a starter dish in restaurants. The variety of items included in a sample platter usually varies depending on the type of cuisine or restaurant. It can include options such as different types of cheeses, meats, fruits, vegetables, dips, sauces, and crackers or bread. Sample platters are a great way of exploring and tasting different flavors and textures of food without committing to one full dish. They can be served cold or hot, and often come with a garnish or decoration for presentation purposes. Sample platters are also popular for catering and party events, allowing guests to sample a variety of food options in one dish.
