Tradition more than anything, at a formal dinner the food would arive in courses, ranging from 3 to7, 8 or even 9 depending on the facilities available, and the generosity of the host. The most common for formal reasons is between 3 and 5 courses
First course would be a starter, this should be something small and light to whet the appetite of the guest, followed by the main course, which is the main body of the meal. At more extravagant affairs this can become several courses in one, such as having a fish course, then a meat course.
Dessert, whilst normally something sweet can be something savoury, but whatever it is, it should be a treat, something that rounds off a meal nicely.
If the main course was something delicate, then ideally something heavier like sponge pudding should be served to fill the person dining.
If on the other hand the main course was heavy, such as a roasted meat, then something light such as a mousse would be more appropriate.
Remember that with a formal dinner, after a desert course that there should be the option of a cheese board, coffee course, and finally the offer of a liquor for the ladies, and a spirit such as brandy or whiskey for the gentlemen present.
After meals, particularly dinner.
