You go up to the host, and say that you're starving, and would it be possible if the party moved into the dinner phase? This is assuming that a)it's a reasonable time for food to be eaten and you're not just hungry at 2:30 for whatever reason, and b) that it's a larger party (small party you just say, "hey guys I'm starving, lets dinnertime now" and everybody says "oh, okay, cool".)

OP could do this and if the setting were very informal where the hosts were good friends. But in just about any other setting, this would be incredibly rude. Yes, the hosts are rude to keep people waiting without food, but saying, "Hey, I'm hungry, bring out dinner" would make a guest sound like a clumsy boor. And if this is a formal occasion where the hosts aren't your BFFs? Oh god, don't do that, OP!

A socially acceptable approach might be the passive-aggressive Miss Manners technique, where you remark (perhaps to another guest in the host's hearing) that you're famished and looking forward to dinner, but... yeah, that's it. And honestly, unless you're going to have a medical issue if you don't eat, then just sit tight. Modern dinner parties have very few starving guest fatalities, I promise.
