I've thinking again. Some people have said that might hurt me, but what do I know?
Multi-Course Meals stir up a lot in my mind, dining among Kings & Queens, Dynasties, top level government officials and executives, really expensive restaurants, community get togethers, pot lucks and simple entrees preceded by appetizers and followed by deserts.
I figure that some multi-course meals are thematic and others, no. Some incorporate special sequencing which includes Palate Cleansing. I posted a thread on Palate Cleansing way back in December 2017, shortly after joining Cooking Bites.
Palette Cleansing
Simple entrees which are preceded by appetizers and followed by deserts, certainly, qualify as multi-course. There is nothing appreciably thematic about these meals and they don't necessarily include palate cleansing.
Pot Lucks are always fun and may include a wide variety of prepared meals. The collective nature of such multi-course meals is happenstance. There certainly can't be a theme to them and no palate cleansing.
Meals at community get togethers are usually event based, weddings, holidays, etc. They are usually thematic, based on the event, but otherwise, are somewhat like Pot Lucks. Thanksgiving Dinners in the USA are such and may include more than just Turkey, Dressing, Potatoes and Cranberries. Thanksgiving Dinners follow a historical cornucopia theme and may also include Hams, Duck, Venison, Beef, Yams, Salads, etc., etc., etc.
Really expensive restaurants, particularly French, may promote large multi-course meals which last for hours. These meals are sophisticated, thematic and carefully include palate cleansing items between entrees. These meals may emulate historical dining practices of Emperors, Dynasties and Kings and Queens. They may cater to top government officials and corporate executives.
