If you ever see menus with more courses .... They usually include a separate salad, and/or soup course, and sometimes different main courses made up of one game course followed by one beef, or one chicken followed by one beef. Separate main meat courses should layer using the milder meat first, followed by the stronger meat.
Seven-course meals usually begin with an aperitif, or a cocktail hour, then move onto dinner and finish off with dessert. A typical meal consists of an appetizer, soup, salad, palate cleanser , fish, poultry or red meat and dessert.
As the meal progresses, the food served generally becomes a little heavier, so smaller portions are served for each course.
Typically, the meal progresses as:
- First Course: Appetizer
- Second Course: Soup
- Third Course: Salad
- Fourth Course: Sorbet to cleanse the palate
- Fifth course: Meat, such as poultry
- Sixth Course: Meat, red meat or fish
- Seventh Course: Dessert

What is the meaning of a straight course meal?
You might mean to ask about a 3-course meal, 5-course meal, or something of that sort. The term "course meal" is never used without specifying how many courses are involved, because that is the point of the word "course" in the context of a meal. For example, a 3-course meal would include a soup or salad course, a main course (with meat and a starch such as potatoes) and a dessert course. A 5-course meal might include separate soup and salad courses and a fish course as well as the meat and dessert courses. a meal served in sequential courses, for instance: salad, then soup, then appetizer, then a "palate cleanser" such as a few bites of sorbet, then an entree, then a dessert, then coffee and/or brandy. i think that's 7, which is probably the most common number of courses you read about.

Why soup serve as the first course in a 7 meal course?
During a 7 course meal, each course would be small and would amass to a meal overall that should leave the diners "stuffed" and satisfied. The first course being a soup (liquid) would not fill the diners up too soon. Personally, I think seven courses sound like the meals historically served up to King Henry VIII and his court in Merry England!

That depends on how formal the meal is, and what sort of cuisine is being served. What type of food have you in mind - a main course or a dessert? If there are appetisers, the soup is the second course, if not, it is the first course..... so we're off to a confusing start already.
