The order of serving dishes in western culture

First should be an appetizer. 

Usually they are salads or soups. 

 

 

Next, it’s time for the main course. Of course, this is the most important part of the meal. In a fancy restaurant, it usually has a big chunk of meat as the main theme, such as salmon, steak or grilled chicken. 

It goes with some side dishes, like Cole slaw, fries, rice or baked potato. 

 

At the end, don’t forget to save some room for the dessert. Ice cream and apple pie are the American favourites.
