Do some research on normalization.

You might want to consider a simple setup where you have three tables.

Menu
MenuID (Primary Key)
MenuOutlet

Starter
StarterID (Primary Key)
StarterDescription

MenuStarter
MenuID (Primary Key - 1)
StarterID (Primary Key - 2)

This setup allows you to have as many starters as you want for each menu. The MenuStarter table would just use a concatenated primary key that could link those two tables. Hope this makes sense...

Again, some research on normalization would probably help.
