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!
