Courses, that is. Picking up from another thread (which I didn't want to hijack) where thatbags said she only has one course, I wondered what is the general practice. We have three on a Sunday when all the family come, but otherwise I find that I prefer to make two small courses more like two starters really as I find big plates daunting and I like a contrast of flavours. So, last evening we had melon and some of the last figs from the tree with prosciutto followed by toasted homemade granary bread with smoked trout pâté and then a green salad. Tonight I'm planning avocado tomato and mozzarella salad to use up the last of the basil and the red tomatoes, followed by stuffed aubergine.

I'm quite happy with one course at home, although DH expects to have some sort of afters (43 years and I still haven't broken him of it!)

For guests I would normally do three - or even four if we have cheese as well. Can't quite match up to the hotel we used to go to in Italy where they would serve a seven course lunch on Easter Sunday! Not as bad as it sounds as they were very small helpings, but the meal would last at least four hours. The last time we were there we were even able to come back down for dinner in the evening!!

Usually just one at home. Two, or even three, if we are eating out, or if we have friends round for dinner.
