What type of items does the "Sampling" category refer to?

The "Sampling" category refers to small portion options, which are designed to allow customers to taste a variety of menu items without committing to a full-size portion. This category is popular among those looking to try new flavors or who want a light snack rather than a full meal. By offering smaller servings, restaurants can encourage customers to explore different tastes and combinations.

In contrast, appetizers typically consist of larger, standalone items meant to be shared or enjoyed as a pre-meal dish, not specifically designed for sampling. Salads, while they can be small, are usually considered a meal option rather than a sampling choice. Desserts are treated as a separate category altogether, focusing on sweet options rather than a medley of various items for tasting.
