Italian hors d'oeuvres (9)
I believe the answer is:
antipasto
'italian hors d'oeuvres' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for antipasto that I've seen before include "dishes" , "Appetizers in an Italian meal" , "Starter course in an Italian meal" , "Appetiser, starter" , "Italian food" .)
