The formal order of providing a full set of meals is:
1 appetizer and soup 2 fish 3 fruit 4 meat 5 cheese 6 dessert and coffee 7 fruit, as well as aperitif and table wine.
There's no need to order them all. It's impolite to order too much and not finish it. A slightly standard restaurant welcomes guests who only order appetizers. Appetizers, main courses (fish or meat) and desserts are the most suitable combinations.
Ordering is not an appetizer, but a favorite main course, and then a soup suitable for the main course.
One Master and Six Styles —— Western Food Ordering Method
Western food and Chinese food are quite different in menu arrangement. Take banquets as an example. In addition to nearly 10 kinds of cold dishes, Chinese banquets are rich in 6-8 kinds of hot dishes, plus snacks, sweets and fruits. Although western food has six or seven dishes, it looks very complicated, but generally there is only one dish. Here is a brief introduction to the order of serving, hoping to help you order food in a western restaurant for the first time.
1, the first plate
The first course of western food is the first course, also called appetizer. The contents of appetizers are generally divided into cold dishes or hot dishes. The common varieties are caviar, foie gras, smoked salmon, cocktail cups, creamy chicken crisp boxes, local snails and so on. Because appetizers are appetizers, appetizers generally have a special flavor, the taste is mainly salty and sour, and the quantity is small and the quality is high.
2. soup
Very different from Chinese food, the second course of western food is soup. Western-style soup can be roughly divided into clear soup, cream soup, vegetable soup and cold soup. There are oxtail clear soup, various cream soups, seafood soups, American clam soups, Italian vegetable soups, Russian Luo Songtang soups and French onion soups. There are few varieties of cold soup, such as German cold soup and Russian cold soup.
3. Additional dishes outside the main dish
Fish dishes are generally considered as the third course of western food, also called side dishes. Species include all kinds of freshwater and marine fish, shellfish and molluscs. Aquatic dishes, eggs, bread and crispy box dishes are usually called side dishes. Because fish and other dishes are tender and easy to digest, they are placed in front of meat dishes, which is different from the main course of meat dishes. Western-style fish dishes pay attention to the use of special sauces, including tartar sauce, Dutch sauce, hotel sauce, white cream sauce, archbishop sauce, American sauce, sailor fish sauce and so on.
Step 4: Main course
Meat and poultry dishes are the fourth course of western food, also known as the main course. The raw materials of meat dishes are taken from the meat of cattle, sheep, pigs and cowboys, among which beef or steak is the most representative. Steaks can be divided into sirloin steak (also called sirloin steak), filet mignon, "T" bone steak and thin steak. Its cooking methods are often roasting, frying, roasting and so on. Sauces used for meat dishes mainly include Spanish sauce, concentrated boiled sauce, mushroom sauce, Bainis sauce and so on.
The raw materials of food dishes are taken from chickens, ducks and geese, and game such as rabbit meat and venison is usually classified as poultry dishes. Chicken is the most variety of poultry dishes, including pheasant, turkey and bamboo chicken, which can be cooked, fried, roasted and braised. The main sauces are yellow gravy, curry juice and cream juice.
5. Vegetable dishes
Vegetable dishes can be arranged after meat dishes or served at the same time with meat dishes, so they can be regarded as a dish or a side dish. Vegetables are called salads in western food. The salad served with the main course is called raw vegetable salad, which is usually made of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and asparagus. The main sauces of salad are vinegar oil juice, French juice, dried island juice, cheese salad juice and so on.
Besides vegetables, there is another salad made of fish, meat and eggs. Generally, this salad is not seasoned and can be eaten as the first course in the eating order.
There are also some cooked dishes, such as broccoli, boiled spinach and French fries. Cooked vegetables are usually served on the plate with the meat dishes of the main course, which is called side dishes.
6. dessert
The dessert of western food is eaten after the main course, which can be regarded as the sixth course. It really includes all the food after the main course, such as pudding, pancakes, ice cream, cheese, fruit and so on.
7. Coffee and tea
The last course of western food is to provide drinks, coffee or tea. Coffee usually contains sugar and whipped cream. Tea usually contains fragrant peach slices and sugar.
Western etiquette
Although eating western food is quite popular in China recently, the content and form are different because of the different management methods of various restaurants, from "pure" to "miscellaneous" and from "complex" to "simple", which is worth talking about.
Western food in America is very different from that in many European countries. If you travel to the United States, attend a family dinner or eat "dinner" in a restaurant, please pay attention to the following general rules first:
When a man and a woman eat together in a restaurant, the man is usually responsible for ordering and paying the bill.
Many Christian or Catholic families are asked to pray or "bless" before meals. Even if you are not religious, please bow your head to show courtesy and respect.
When Americans entertain guests, the hostess (or host) first picks up the tableware for dinner, and then the guests move the tableware.
If you don't like the food handed over, just say "no, thanks." .
When chewing food, be sure to avoid making noise.
Used knives and forks must be put back on the plate, not on the tablecloth.
After eating the main course, put the knife and fork on the main course plate in parallel, indicating to the host or waiter that the main course plate can be taken away.
During the dinner, we should talk softly about some relaxed and happy topics, and try to avoid eating and being silent.
Let's take a look at this simulated dinner conversation:
Hostess: Would you like some more chicken?
Guest: No, thanks. The chicken is delicious, but I'm too full.
Moderator: But I hope you can save your stomach for dessert. Mary's pumpkin pie is very delicious.
Guest: That sounds tempting. But I hope we can wait a while, if you don't mind.
Moderator: Of course. How about some coffee or tea now?
Guest: Please have tea. Thank you.
★ Seating arrangement
The arrangement of the tables is roughly as shown above. In principle, male guests (bridesmaids) sit on the right side of the hostess, while female guests (bridesmaids) sit on the right side of the hostess. Most of them sit alternately between men and women, and couples do not sit together, so as not to talk about family affairs and ignore communication with other guests.
★ Tableware arrangement
At a family or restaurant banquet, the type and quantity of tableware depend on the formality of the banquet. The more formal the dinner, the more knives, forks, plates and dishes are placed. The examples given in this article are applicable to informal banquets (most family banquets belong to this category).
The fork is placed on the left side of the main plate, and the knife and spoon are placed on the right side.
Knife, fork and spoon are arranged in the order of use. The first one is placed on the outside farthest from the main course, and the second one is placed near the inside of the main course. If the host decides to serve the main course before the salad, he should put the main course fork outside the salad fork.
The salad plate is on the left side of the main course. Americans usually serve the main course with the salad, unlike the French, who serve the salad after the main course is finished.
