In this part of the world we usually refer to a 3 course meal as having a
starter, a main and then dessert - but there's a couple I know who do
refer to a starter as an appetizer and they're actually quite snobby i.e.
they only eat at the most expensive restaurants/shop at the most expensive
stores, drive shockingly expensive cars - just to show off how much money
they have - which is why I found Marty's comment funny).

But then again the word 'appetizer' rings another bell - think in some
parts of the world it might be an alternative term for a main course?
Dunno, just too lazy to google it right now.
