The class is working on a Food Service unit. We have discussed order of service, in a formal meal:
1. canapé: a thin piece of bread or toast or a cracker spread or topped with cheese, caviar, anchovies, or other savory food.
2. hors d'oeuvres: an appetizer served before the meal, finger food, usually not served at the table. This could be a cheese as well.
3. appetizer: the first course of a meal served at the table. This is a light starter food, such as shrimp cocktail, baked stuffed mushrooms, or crab cakes.
4. soup course: The course is a light soup, served before the main meal. Usually this course is a cup of soup, rather than a bowl of soup (that might be served as a luncheon item).
5. salad course (this is American service) Salad goes after the main meal in European service.
6. fish course or pasta course: this is a small portion, fish and perhaps one vegetable or garnish, or a single simple pasta with a light sauce.
7. meat course: This is usually thought of as the main meal. This course would have meat, starch (such as potato, yams or rice), and vegetables.
8. dessert: a sweet food or fruit dish that could include cheese.
