What are some popular French appetizers?
Think "cheese" and you'll have the bulk of French appetizers. Cheese plates with a number of different cheeses, all with varying tartness and saltiness, are common. Served with fruit, you have a popular French appetizer plate. For a special appetizer, try this: Take a wedge of Brie and encase it in puff pastry. Fold the pastry so it's at the bottom of the wedge. In a pan on the stove, melt about 3 tbls of butter with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Stir constantly over low heat until the brown sugar completely melts. Coat the puff pastry with the brown sugar/butter sauce. Sprinkle some sliced roasted almonds on top and bake in a relatively hot oven (about 380 to 400 degrees F) until the puff pastry turns golden brown and is completely done. Serve with sliced french bread, pear slices, apple slices, and julienned red pepper. The other foods that are indigenous to France are often used for appetizers. Mushrooms, olives, sliced onion drizzled with olive oil, fresh spinach leaves with cheese and tomato...and never be afraid to serve all the different fresh foods with a few chocolate truffles or other high-quality sweets. They go surprisingly well together. Serve with a good red wine and you're set. If you want formal appetizers, think small & puffy. Use puff pastry in muffin pans and fill with cheeses, eggs, custards, small vegetables, crumbled bacon, etc. Make sure you use enough cheese to make them rich and moist. There are many, many good websites that give specific recipes for French appetizers; just Google it and you'll have more than you bargained for.
Is olive tapenade a French or an Italian dish?
The word and the formal contemporary description is French, but olive spreads have been common for thousands of years in Italy/Ancient Rome. About 400AD, Marcus Gavius Apicius wrote in De re coquinaria ("On the Subject of Cooking") about an olive spread mixed with "Garum" fish paste/sauce that is very close to the contemporary definition which calls for olives capers and anchovies.
Probably the oldest known tapenade recipe (Olivarum Conditurae) appears in Columella's De re rustica written in the 1st Century AD.
Olivarum Conditurae (from Columella's de Re Rustica) Olivarum Conditurae: Acerbam pauseam mense Septembri vel Octobri, dum adhuc vindemia est, contundere; et aqua calida paululum maceratam exprime faeniculique seminibus et lentisci cum cocto sale modice permixta reconde in fideliam et mustum quam recentissimum infunde; tum fasciculum viridis faeniculi superpositum merge, ut olivae premantur et ius superemineat. Sic curata oliva tertio die possis uti. Lucius Junius Moderatus Columella (4 CE to circa 70CE) was a Roman writer on agriculture, who after a career in the army (as a tribune in Syria c. 35CE) took-up farming. He is best known for his twelve-volume de Re Rustica (On Argiculutre) which has been completely preserved. Translation Yet most people finely chop leeks, rue and mint, together with young celery, and mix these with crushed olives. Then add a little peppered vinegar and a little more honey or honeyed wine, drizzle with green olive oil and so cover with a bunch of green celery. Modern Redaction Ingredients: 1 leek Sprig of rue 3 mint leaves 2 sticks celery 2 tbsp white wine vinegar 1 tbsp honey 60ml olive oil 150g whole green olives 4 cloves garlic Pepper Olivarum Conditurae Preparation: Method: Trim wash and finely slice the leek and parboil for five minutes. Roughly chop the herbs and place in a blender along with the leek and the liquid ingredients. Blend into a smooth paste. Tip the paste from the blender into a bowl. Stone the olives and chop finely, adding to the bowl. Crush the garlic with the flat of a knife and chop finely, adding this to the bowl as well. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Keep in the fridge until needed.

If Deans french onion dip says sell by Nov 15 09 does that mean that its not good to eat?
a sell-by date does not mean the product isn't eatable, but that it is forbidden for grocers or shops to sell it. It MAY still be eatable depending of the conservation mode: deepfrozen products can be perserved for long after the sell-by date, but their qualities (taste, nutriments) will decrease in various ways.
The general rule is that if the sell-by date is long overdue, you should throw away the product, especially if it contains meat. If you are just over the due date, inspect it and if the colour, odour, texture seems bizarre in any way, throw it away again. If all is looking correct, cook it - preferably heating it over 60° C for some minutes to kill any potential germs.
