Course

Course groups dishes by where they belong in the order of a meal. Wikipedia notes a Thanksgiving dinner "often consists of foods associated with New England harvest celebrations: turkey, potatoes... squash, corn... green beans, cranberries... and pumpkin pie," a list running from main course through to dessert. This dimension separates a starter from a main dish and a dessert.
