NEXT INDEX LAST BACK Menu: Additional Information The student is not a restaurateur, consequently, there will be only one appetizer, one entrée and one dessert on the menu. As we have seen, a salad is on the menu and served with baked, broiled, grilled or fried meats. In other words: Italians do not serve salad before consuming a main entrée. The US form of Ice cream, by itself, is not enough to be considered a dessert. Scricco Educational Technologies, Inc. © 2014 – All rights reserved. 20
