Posted by dave on 8/18/2002, 11:33 am I don't know exactly what you're asking here. Can you be more specific? I can think of the following courses: Soup Hey, that's 7! If you're in France, I think that the salad goes last - at least that what I keep hearing. Maybe there are other breakdowns in more elaborate dinners, like breaking the entrees into fish, fowl, meat, etc. Is that what you had in mind? Here at my restaurant we sometimes combine the first 3 courses if there is a mix of "first courses" at the table (this prevents one or two people from eating alone and shortening the time for the delivery of the entrees). In really formal dining, you wouldn't do this. we try to keep them seperate, but sometimes it's in the best interest of the table (and the restaurant)to combine them.
"Hi all!

can anyone tell me or direct me to info
reguarding a breakdown of the 'coarses' of a meal-
in the appropriate order? I'm shooting for 7 coarses,
but would like to know as much as I can learn....(9 coarse too ,etc.)"
Appetizers (Antipasto)
