Although they are calling it a "pre-appetiser" on the menu, and I always think of appetiser as American usage, albeit with a slightly different spelling. Starters are still starters on the menu, so you have a pre-appetiser followed by a starter.

They can't call either of them an entree as it confuses the Americans, for whom that is a main course I believe.

Deeply depressing the low regard some people have for the language of Shakespeare, Kipling and Churchill.
But it on a lighter note I have made courgette cake and it's both easy and quite good. I also grate it into various dishes in order to boost the vegetable intact of my children. Of course if all else fails slice it thin and cover with cheese.

But much the same effect can be done on a mandolin and mixed with spaghetti and sufficient quantities of cheese can remain undetected by even the fussy eaters.

If "spiralized" [sic] were a real word (that for the sake of any esteemed members those education is lacking, let me assure them it is not) it would be spelt corrected "spiralised".

This one by Heathrow really riles me:
Saw similar advert on the tube with the same "select destinations" (sic) wording and did a double take.
From this page
"From free flights with British Airways, to free meals in selected Heathrow.." and
"Kids Eat Free with an adult at Heathrow during selected dates...."
GRRRRRRRRR!!!!
