A formal dinner is not often served in the ordinary household, but if a dinner of fewer courses is served, they are arranged in the same relative order as in a formal dinner.
Students write list of "dinner possibilities," arranging them under "soup," "fish," etc. Write dinner menus for family dinners for different seasons of the year, estimating cost. Cook and serve a dinner.
A luncheon menu is similar to a dinner menu, with the exception that a fruit is often served first, and a lighter meat dish is served in place of a roast.
