AFAIK
3 courses: Soup/salad, main entree with side dishes, dessert.

5 courses: horse ovaries, soup/salad, main meat entree, main veggie
entree, desert/cheese and fruit. Various Sherberts can be added between
courses to cleanse your palete. But I'm not sure if they qualify as a
course...or as just as breaks in the meal to allow farting.

A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
