Meze is a selection of small dishes served as appetizers in Albanian, Bosnian, Armenian, Levantine, Turkish, Bulgarian, Greek, Iraqi, Egyptian, and Iranian cuisine. It is similar to Spanish tapas and Italian antipasti. A mezze may be served as a part of a multi-course meal or form a meal in itself. In non-Islamic countries, or in areas without alcohol restrictions, mezze are often served with spirits such as arak, rakia, raki, oghi or grappa.

Bosnian cuisine is the traditional cuisine of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is influenced by Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Balkan cuisines.
