Picture your dining room table beautifully set with charger plates, which are also called under plates, some elegant dinner plates, side plates, beautiful glasses, and your best cutlery or silverware, with your lovely cloth napkins folded into an elegant shape on the side or on the dinner plate. Maybe it’s a celebration meal, or just a fun, fancy dinner with your family. In the center of the table, you could have some candles or little twinkle lights, maybe beautiful colored electronic candles, some flowers, or any of your favorite centerpieces.
If you’re celebrating something, perhaps Good Friday and Easter, you can make your meal more meaningful by having an appetizer, and by having multiple courses. You could do an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert, or just an appetizer and main course. It gives you more time at the table, and it helps you to connect as a family and have some really good conversation. Because you’re having three courses, you have more time to talk to people, relax more fully, and start to really take part in the conversation. This is because you can focus on each other, rather than just having a quick meal and then leaping up to do the clearing and all going your separate ways.
The appetizer course starts the meal in the right way. It helps everyone to see that it’s not just going to be a rushed meal, so they have the right expectation coming to the table. They know there’s going to be a few courses that they’ll get to enjoy, so even if one is not their favorite, perhaps another will be. They know they can take their time, relax, and enjoy good food. The goal of this meal is not just to eat, but to connect as a family, and to have good fellowship at the table.
“When you break down the meal into courses, or have an appetizer first, you’ll have more time to relax and be together, be present, enjoy the meal, and time to connect as a family.”
“Having an appetizer slows down the meal. It’s not just about the food, it’s about making family memories together.”
“Why do we need appetizers in the first place? They’re not just for parties or entertaining – they help to make the meal a little more interesting and have more time for connecting.”
“Appetizers don’t have to be complicated. They can be as easy as five ingredients each, as simple as breaking up your meal into three courses. First the vegetables, then the meat and starch, and then a simple dessert.”
“Having an individual appetizer for each person is lots of fun. You can put them onto charger plates or on your dinner plates. It looks lovely to have layered plates on the table, and it’s nice for each person to have their own, or you could put a central platter of food on your table for people to serve themselves as they’d like.”
