I never make large quantities: I'm not a big eater (but love to snack) and otherwise I have to skip the main course: One Christmas however I have served approximately 23 small starter bites, after each other, instead of one main course. We reached number 18 and sat down for 4 hours. Want to act expensive? Don't call it starter but "hors-d-oeuvre" or amuse. The soup are on the soup page
