What specific examples are listed for a light meal starter intended to stimulate the appetite?
Answer
A small, chilled soup, a delicate salad, or smoked fish with toast points.
In the context of formal dining, the starter is the introductory dish designed to prepare the palate without causing satiety. The text provides concrete examples illustrating this lighter composition. These options—a small, chilled soup, a delicate salad, or smoked fish served with toast points—are all prepared food items meant to be consumed in one sitting. Their purpose is strictly to stimulate the appetite, contrasting sharply with the leavening starter which is a raw mixture of flour and water maintained as a living culture.
