Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(What is the science behind the three standard courses for a meal: appetizer, ent),it will help you,my kids.

Or is it just a casuality that started out some time ago and just continued on and on till our days?

Answers:
not so much science but cultural.

Separation between appetizer and entree is merely based on gluttony. The 'normal' western sequence of food often contradict digestive efficiency. For instance, fruits are often served after the entree where it is actually better for digestion if you eat them before meats / proteins. Some physicians claim that the mixture of several different food types is not ideal, and that the body handles one food group at a time much better without symptoms like indigestion and gastrointestinal distress (diarrhea).

However it makes sense to serve dessert at the end of a meal, since sugar is known to suppress appetite. Nonetheless there are numerous studies today that argue that common eating habits available in restaurants or practiced at home are grossly unhealthy. The practice of courses and primary and secondary dishes root back to the wealthy or noble, where meals were elaborately presented to figures of importance which we have adopted today (ie. 10 course meal at weddings).

Other Answers:
Well, I'm not entirely clear on the issue, but I do know the purpose of appetizers. Ever heard the phrase "whet your appetite"? Well, when you eat a small amount of food, it makes your body want more... enough to satisfy it, or in some cases, enough to get you "stuffed". That's why expensive restaraunts serve appetizers... it makes you order more food, whether you want it or not.

Well, let me think about this. If you've got without water for a long time, you should only sip water for a while or else you'll likely puke it back up. So, you need to prime yourself to consume more water. I'm not sure if the same holds with food. Although I do know that you can train your stomach to accept larger and larger quantities of food, so I suppose that if you didn't eat for a while, you wouldn't be able to eat a large meal all at once right away.

I guess in a philosophical sense that would be how the appetizer got started. You're priming your stomach to accept the main meal.

The entree would make sense in the middle because your stomach is primed, and you're prepared to accept the bulk of your nutrition at that time.

As for dessert, I know it takes a lot of energy to digest your meal. If you're low on energy reserves, then you would likely need a source of quick energy to jumpstart the digestion process. Therefore, you would need something with a lot of sugar (which can be processed very quickly by the body), and, thus, you have dessert.

Makes sense to me.
