A typical Italian meal is made of an antipasto (appetizer), a primo (first course), a secondo (second course), a contorno (side dish), a dolce (dessert) and, at the end, a coffee.
The secondo is the second course, during which Italians eat many different kinds of meat: fish, pork, chicken, veal, lamb, wild boar, and rabbit. In the finest restaurants it’s not unusual to find frog legs or snails listed on the menu.
