Order 1: soup and appetizer

The appetizer, also called the starter, is a "snack" before a formal meal, which plays an appetizing role and tastes mainly salty and sour.

Nowadays, soup is generally used instead of appetizers. If there is soup and appetizer, the soup is basically served first, and then the appetizer.

Soups can be roughly divided into clear soup, cream soup, vegetable soup and cold soup. Classic and common soups include tomato cream soup, English clear soup, cream mushroom soup, curry broth and so on.

The more luxurious appetizers include caviar, foie gras, smoked salmon, fish chowder, English braised pork, spinach milk cake and so on. Can't remember so many names? Well, the simplest and most delicious choice is baked mushrooms with country cream, or a salad made of fish and eggs without sauce, which is delicious. Order one of these two dishes and keep it safe.

The principle of ordering appetizers is just a little. Otherwise, it's an embarrassing faux pas to waste food on the western food table.

Order2: main course

In western food, meat and fish are the two major components of the main course. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than fried, roasted and fried pork chops of beef, sheep, fish and fish.

The main course is fish first, then meat.

Fish dishes, also known as side dishes, are generally used as the third course of western food. Species include all kinds of freshwater and seawater fish, shellfish and molluscs. Western food pays attention to the use of special sauce when eating fish dishes.

The meat main course will be served with oil-soaked potatoes or vegetable salad as "side dishes", which are eye-catching and delicious in the plate.

This is a general stylized main course, so it is standard to order food in this way.

However, if it is a formal English or French restaurant, baked assorted seafood or braised grouse is a famous dish. If you have the chance, you can also try Shepherd Pie, which is a famous English specialty. If you see dishes such as cheese meatballs and grilled mackerel with lemon juice and salt on the menu, I suggest you order without hesitation.

Order3: dessert

There has always been a saying in western food that "a meal without dessert is a fly in the ointment", so snacks or fruits after the main course are essential, which is a perfect full stop. The most classic desserts are English pudding, apple pie, French plum pie or snowflake egg, Italian giant tiramisu and cheese cake, and various kinds of ice cream.

Order4: coffee, tea

There is a saying in Chinese food that "the original soup turns into the original food". Similarly, after the western food is over, you need to drink a cup of coffee or black tea.

Chinese food should be served in the following order: cold dishes, drinks and wine first, then hot dishes, then staple food, and finally sweets and fruits. When there are many tables at a banquet, every dish at each table should be served at the same time. Generally speaking, there are the following ways to serve food: First, the big dish is served and each person takes it; Second, the waiter will give each person a dish one by one; The third is to serve it on a small dish, one for each person.

The serving procedure of western food is usually: bread and butter → cold dishes → soup bucket seafood → main course → dessert → coffee and fruit. Cold dishes and soup are eaten with bread at the same time. Cold dishes are also called appetizers. As the first course, they are usually used with aperitif. Soup is divided into stained soup and cream soup. The main courses are fish and pigs.
