table.

I think it really depends on the culture as well as the formality of the
meal.

In California we normally eat salads first.

In some parts of the world the salad is used to finish the meal.

Something sweet, dessert, fruit, fruit and cheese. coffee, espresso, a
liquor, a brandy, a sweet wine. or ???

Before I met my wife - who is English - I started with my salad. Since
I met her I slowly changed and now prefer it after the main course or
as a palate cleanser while eating the main course.

Like you say, it all depends. In our case it depends on whether we're
eating alone at home, in a restaurant or at home with guests.

Neither of us is huge fan of sweet desserts, unless we're eating away
from home and are tempted. Even then, we'll usually opt for a good,
unpasteurised French brie with fruit if it's available.

And on special occasions, a good port, brandy or liqueur and a cup of
decaffeinated coffee goes down well.

Years ago I had a Dutch friend who would stand up, let out a huge
belch, pat his stomach and say "Goed!"

He was quite surprised to learn that belching wasn't considered good
manners in Southern California.

I would say,'What a great meal that was' and Why?...Because I didn't have to
do the cooking myself... The cook does not enjoy the food as much as the
family or friends do!

I didn't know in California eat salads first. But "first", what does it
means?
Some days ago a friend took me from England a special coffe. It is a coffe
aromathized with whisky (they call it Irish coffee, but it is not the irish
coffe with cream you know). It is paradise for me! Now I must search for it.
Have you got it in US?

There are some dessert wines. Some people like Port after a meal. I've
never seen table wine drunk after a meal though.

If my glass isn't finished by the end of the meal, I certainly do
continue drinking it during dessert. In this way I discovered what a
great combination chocolate and red wine can be.

Oh yes, and also like a cocktail!!!
White wine is often drunk as an "Aperitivo" also in Italy, but we prefer a
"Prosecco". OTC I have never seen a red wine drunk before a meal.

At my favorite Sunday brunch I'd always finish with a plate of kiwi fruit. It
did a wonderful job of refreshing my palette.

A few dinner restaurants (I forget the cuisines) would serve a mini bowl of
sorbet, after the meal but before dessert (?).

I used to finish a meal with a cigarette. Thank God those days are over.

As kids, after we cleared the dinner table, Mom and Pop would sit back down
with fresh cups of coffee, as if it was dessert.

Port or Sherry work, and so does Brandy.

In Italy they generally serve the sorbet between a fish and a meat dish...

A salad is usually consumed before the main course as a separate course.

I think so - do you put whisky into the coffee as with a coffee royal
(coffee & cognac) Or is this just a flavored coffee - no alcohol?

And I'm not convinced that it was considered to be well mannered where
Co came from in the Netherlands. He probably did it for effect ... and
it worked. Nearly fifty years later and I still remember it and the
stunned reaction of the other diners and staff in the small local
restaurant in Malibu!

IRISH COFFEE: Combine whiskey, sugar and coffee in a mug and stir to
dissolve. Float cold cream gently on top. Do not mix.

I use Jameson ...

An authentic Irish Coffee would use demerara (turbinado) sugar though a
brown sugar works fine. Sugar mixed completely to dissolve is essential
for helping the cream float on top. If someplace is serving an IC with
whipped cream, I pass on it.

I think Dimitri was right the first time; Pandora was talking about coffee
beans (or ground coffee) which had been given a whisky flavor, but which
didn't contain any actual whisky.

In the recipe given by bob, "coffee" refers to brewed coffee.

I think that my father in law had the right idea. He liked coffee, a
cigar and port at the end of a nice meal.

Think "Irish accent." Even some of my *Scots* friends refer to
Protestants as "Proddies."

Just checking.

yes, it's short for 'protestant whiskey.' it seems to come out more often
as 'prod' in speech and writing for some reason.
