French term or phrase: corolles apéritives

This comes in a marketing presentation for a company producing mixers for aperitifs. In this slide, there is a proposal to establish a partnership with a particular brand of aperitifs, a brand "qui propose une gamme de produit gourmandes et raffinées: mini-tranches de foie gras, corolles apéritives...
Une marque premium, qui propose des petits fours et autres bouchées, idéal pour les apéritifs des fêtes de fin d’année !"

I have only got as far as finding it might be translated as "corolla", which as far as I can see may be a plant eaten as an appetiser, but I have certainly never heard of this (I don't move in those kinds of circles, mind you...) and can't find many references to it. Am I barking up the wrong tree?

filo tartlets

Explanation:
a fairly broad term that could suffice

see the picture:

and this one looks more corolla-like:

But I think any mention of 'pastry' sgtarts off by conjuring up the wrong idea; at best, mention 'filo' on its own — but not 'pastry' on its own.

I think "fine pastry" would be good in there somewhere as this is not puff pastry.

No, they're definitely filo pastry; and I agree about 'corolle', although I think the equivalent technical term in EN would be far too pompous; maybe 'filled filo flowers'?

The choice of "corolle" is important, as they do resemble the flower in question. Also, I am not certain that they are puff pastry canapés either. The fine pastry shell looks much more like they are made from the "brique" type pastry.

Yes, hopefully you have seen enough of me on here to know that I do research before posting - I didn't find anything, but clearly my research let me down this time! Many thanks for your help!

Have you tried Googling this? It appears to mean filled puff pastry shells. You need to do some basic research before posting questions.
You seem to be using "aperitif" with both its meanings, a drink and a snack, which is confusing. It would be better to use a different word for the latter, such as canapé.

Thanks Katsy!

pastry crowns

Explanation:
Thanks to Tony's link in the discussion section, I've managed to find the same product on Ocado - they're calling them pastry crowns (it's the same product as on the French site).

I don't think there's any particular need to translate the word "apéritifs" literally here (i.e. by including a reference to snacks), as I think it's clear enough from the surrounding context.

Hope it helps

tartlets appetizers

Explanation:
"Corolla" is due to the shape of the mould.

I have entered first what the French mean by "corolla" and then what the English call "corolla". In the second link below you will find "tartlets" or "tarts" on the right column but you will find other names (cups, parcels) depending on the shape of the filo pastry.

corolle apéritive gourmet canapé

Explanation:
Unless your text goes on to discuss them in greater detail later, I really think all that is needed is a lightweight term that conveys the notion of 'gourmand, raffiné, ...' — I can't see there is anything here that requires too much detail, and it would certainly be better to avoid adding detail that is inaccurate.

I did rather like the alliteration of my 'filled filo flowers', but I accept that it is probably hardly really appropriate here, especially as it misses out the 'apéritif' aspect — and filled flower-shaped filo canapés' doesn't have quite the same ring about it!

Consider also the possibility of 'gourmet nibbles' — although on the face of it 'nibbles' might be considered rather down-market for oh-so-posh 'canapés', in actual fact by a kind of inverted snobbery, it could even work quite well — esepcially with the delicious counterpoint with 'gourmet'!

philgoddard: Yes, I think we need something more general.

-> Thanks, Phil!

agree

Steph Noviss: I like this option - I think many English-speaking readers will picture a small filled pastry when they see the word 'canapé'. I suppose it's not imperative to keep the shape reference, as the original text only gives illustrative examples at any rate.

44 mins

-> Thanks, Steph! Exactly my reasoning.

neutral

katsy: sorry to be difficult but canapé... whether in English or French....evokes bread,toasted or not, for me

1 hr

-> Sorry to say that is not really true, especially in EN. It normally involves a base of some sort, which can be bread, but also pastry, which thus perfectly covers what we have here: finger food with some kind of substrate.
