What is a five-course menu?
A five course menu is as following... Appetizer course soup course Salad course main (meat) course Desert Also a "course" that can be added is the apertif. While not strictly considered a "course", it is the "after dinner" drink that evolved into the cocktail party. This menu is standard for a formal dinner party, which should last at least an hour to an hour and a half. Seeing that this menu is rather long, it is no wonder that the Victorian dinner party was a major event. The appetizer course is NOT eaten as finger food, it is a "nibble" of a meat or vegetable dish that is served on it's own plate. It is enjoying a resurgence in fine dining.
Can you use a merlot wine to make a marsala sauce?
Probabaly not a good idea; Marsala wine tends to be amber, has a smokey flavor, and can be dry, semisweet, or sweet, depending on the way it is aged. It is an apertif, and found in many deserts. A lot of foods call for it; however, it's not the same as your standard 'white cooking wine'. * Obviously, it depends on what you are trying to do. * If it's good enough to cook with, it's good enough to drink, IMHO. And for sure if you would not drink it, don't cook with it.
