You order it often, especially when you are out with a large group, but do you know what does ‘Mezze’ stand for in a Mezze Platter? Mezze actually means ‘cold’. While the Mezze platter typically comprising of pita bread, falafel, pickles and a range of dips is not served freezing cold, but if you notice closely, nothing is hot off the pan. Everything is at room temperature(or cold), hence making for a perfect snack platter that can lie on your table for a long, long time. Dips, sauces and condiments are an intrinsic part of a Mezze platter, so if you are planning to put one together, make sure you do not miss out on these.
