Budget Starter Ideas, The traditional start of a meal. A chance to get those taste buds a tingling . Entrees in French sounds so much more romantic and appetising. How the times have changed for the discerning dinner. In the 1970’s your starter may have been a classic egg mayonnaise or even the classic prawn mayonnaise. I have to admit I love both those starters. However today we demand and expect so much from our starters course. Fresh vibrant and tasty and if your a little posh give it a name no one can pronounce.
