1 main: In a three course meal, the main course would be the second dish. Fish and chips, steak with green beans, pizza, stew, lasagna, and stuffed vegetables are all examples of main courses. In general, the term "main" means the largest in terms of size or importance. Example: The MAIN reason I didn't invite you to my party is that you slept with my wife.
2 salt: "Salt" comes from the sea and is used in cooking to add flavor to food. Example: I think McDoodles puts too much SALT on its fries. Tip: Don't use too much salt: it's bad for your heart!
3 pepper: "Pepper" and "salt" are the most commonly used condiments and can usually be found on the table in most restaurants. Example: Don't put too much PEPPER on your food or you'll ah... ah... ah... AHCHOO! Sneeze!
4 mustard: Mustard is a condiment made from mustard seeds. It has a very strong and distinctive flavor. It is often used in salad dressings.
5 Could you pass me: "Could you pass me the (salad/bread/wine/vodka/gun)" is the standard phrase for asking someone to pass you an item at the dinner table. It is short and polite - a bit like Jean!
