Meze or mezze ( /ˈmɛzɛ/) is a selection of small dishes served in the Mediterranean and Middle East as breakfast, lunch or even dinner, with or without drinks. In Levantine cuisines and in the Caucasus region, meze is served at the beginning of all large-scale meals.

The word is found in all the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire and comes from the Turkish meze 'taste, flavour, snack, relish', borrowed from Persian مزه (maze 'taste, snack' < mazīdan 'to taste'). The English word was probably borrowed from the Greek version mezés (μεζές).

Turkish meze often consist of beyaz peynir (literally "white cheese"), kavun (sliced ripe melon), acılı ezme (hot pepper paste often with walnuts), haydari (thick strained yoghurt like the Levantine labne), patlıcan salatası (cold aubergine salad), kalamar (calamari or squid), enginar (artichokes), cacık (yoghurt with cucumber and garlic), pilaki (various foods cooked in a special sauce), dolma or sarma (rice-stuffed vine leaves or other stuffed vegetables, such as bell peppers), and köfte (meatballs).

David or Dave Myers (born 1957, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria) and Simon "Si" King (born 1967, Kibblesworth, County Durham), collectively known as the Hairy Bikers, are British television presenters who have fronted the series The Hairy Bikers' Cookbook, The Hairy Bikers Ride Again, The Hairy Bakers, The Hairy Bikers' Food Tour of Britain and The Hairy Bikers Mums Know Best, Hairy Bikers Meals On Wheels, Hairy Biker's Best of British and The Hairy Biker's Bakeation for BBC Two and The Hairy Biker's Mississippi Adventure for Good Food.

Both Myers and King have a background in TV and film production. Myers is a professional make-up artist, specialising in prosthetics, while King has served as locations manager on numerous productions including the Harry Potter movies and Byker Grove. Both have a tattoo of Che Guevara on their right arm. Simon King is also an avid supporter of Newcastle United.

The duo appeared on the BBC's The Hairy Bikers' Cookbook. The duo's TV shows are a mixture of cookery and travelogue, using a similar format and style to that previously associated with Keith Floyd, including the habit of frequently referring to the cameraman and other crew. Most shows feature the pair riding motorcycles, including the BMW R1200GS, F650GS and Triumph Rocket III. The show also features elements of the Two Fat Ladies format, including regular banter between the two stars, use of various unusual cooking locations and the use of motorbikes.
