Verrine

- For the demon, see Verrine (demon). For Cicero's Verrines, see In Verrem.
A verrine is originally a small thick-glass container with no base, which purpose is to contain a solid or liquid dish (starter, course or dessert), rather than a drink. This French word is usually left untranslated in English.
By way of metonymy, a “verrine” therefore designates in the cooking world a dish served in a verrine, in a vertical manner, which allows a different aesthetic and gustatory experience from a dish served in a traditional plate.
