The course after soup, salad, appetizer usually consisting of something like a sorbet to cleanse your pallet before the main dish, I know there's a formal name for that course but I can't remember what it is?
Answers: This is a rather complicated question despite its seeming simplicity. It depends on what country's dining rules you subscribe to. For instance entree means one thing in France another in UK and yet another in USA. Go here for more info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/dinner... Intermezzo A pallett is a wooden structure to hold cargo. You mean "palate". I have never heard it called anything. It certainly is not a course, it is just a palate cleanser. An intermezzo has nothing to do with food. It is a kind of classical instrumental. That would be the entrée... It's called the Entrée Remember it's a sorbet flavoured with MINT with no sugar or anything. Well I did an internet search... I don't come from a back ground that has that "pallet cleanser" thing going on... but I can appreciate the question... in the search I repeatedly found the term pallet cleanser as the only terminology... maybe I am goofy but I thought that "entre" was was the main course.... hordeurves' (sp?) could that be the name your looking for? well sorry I wasn't much help good luck in your search though. how funny i was just thinking about this!i do not know the name but i know what you mean.and i believe you serve it after say,fish if you serve a meat after that.you are supposed to only take one or two spoon fulls,it is not desert!
