    Default How much time apart should the appetizer and main dish be served?

    1) How much time apart should the appetizer and main dish be served?

    2) What is the lenght of time between serving appetizer and main dish be served?


    Can I phrase the sentences in such a way?

    How much time should be left between serving the appetiser/starter and [serving] the main course?

    If you say that, I would omit "time".

    What is the recommended/suggested/perfect interval between serving the appetiser/starter and the main course?
