the so-called etiquette of enjoying buffet mainly refers to the etiquette norms that need to be followed when attending buffet as diners. Generally speaking, among buffet etiquette, the etiquette of enjoying buffet is often more important to most people. Usually, it mainly involves the following eight points.

first, we have to queue up to get food. While enjoying the buffet, although the diner needs to take care of himself, it doesn't mean that he can do whatever it takes. In fact, when sampling meals, because diners often come in droves, everyone must consciously maintain public order, pay attention to first come, then come, and queue up to choose food. It is not allowed to crowd, rob, join the team in disorder, and it is not allowed not to queue up. Before you take the food, you should prepare a food plate. When it's your turn to pick up the food, you should put the food into your plate with common tableware, and then you should leave quickly. Don't hesitate in front of a lot of food. Let the people behind you wait, and you shouldn't be picky when picking vegetables, or even start directly or pick vegetables with your own tableware.

second, it is necessary to order the dishes. At the buffet, if you want to eat well, you must first understand the reasonable order of taking dishes and then step by step. According to common sense, when attending a general buffet, the standard order of picking up dishes should be: cold dishes, soup, hot dishes, snacks, desserts and fruits. Therefore, when picking up vegetables, it's best to take a walk around the audience first to get to know the situation, and then pick up vegetables. If you don't understand this reasonable sequence of picking vegetables, and completely do your own thing when picking vegetables, it will inevitably put the cart before the horse, and make yourself eat neither carefree nor comfortable. For example, at the buffet, desserts and fruits should be regarded as the "finale" and eaten at last. But if you don't follow this rule and eat sweets and fruits first for the sake of freshness, you will be full immediately. When you see the good things you want to eat later, you will probably be unable to do so, so you have to "look at the ocean and sigh".

third, we should do what we can. When attending the buffet, I met something I like to eat. As long as I don't break myself, I can let go of my stomach and eat it. Unlimited quantity, guaranteed supply, in fact, this is what makes the buffet popular. Therefore, when business people attend a buffet, they don't have to worry about others laughing at them and eating whatever they like. However, it should be noted that when choosing food according to my taste, I must do what I can. Don't take all the food in order to get enough. As a result, you are "too arrogant" and can't do it, which leads to food waste. Strictly speaking, when enjoying a buffet, eating more is allowed, while wasting food is absolutely not allowed. This article is called the "take less" principle in buffet dining. Sometimes, some people also call it the principle of "taking less at a time".

fourth, it is necessary to fetch vegetables many times. While observing the principle of "taking less" at the buffet, we must also abide by the principle of "taking many times". The principle of "many times" is the abbreviation of the principle of "taking vegetables many times" Its specific meaning is: diners choose a certain kind of dishes in the buffet and allow them to pick them up again and again. You should only take a little bit at a time. After tasting it, if you think it suits you, you can take it again until you feel good. In other words, this principle actually means that when choosing a dish in a buffet, it doesn't matter how many times you take it, and it is allowed to add it again and again. On the contrary, it would be impolite to take too much at a time to save trouble, and pretend too much, just like the performance of the aforementioned Miss Zhou Jin, which will surely make others gape. The principle of "many times" and the principle of "taking less" are actually two different sides of the same problem. "Many times" is to do what you can, and "take less" is also to avoid waste. Therefore, the two are often referred to as the principle of "taking less for many times". Anyone who can eat buffet knows that when choosing dishes, it is best to choose only one for yourself at a time. After eating well, go and get other varieties. If you don't know this way, when you pick up the dishes, you will put a variety of dishes together, which will lead to mixed tastes and mutual taste, which will inevitably lead to ruin.

fifth, it is necessary to avoid takeout. There is an unwritten rule in all buffets, no matter whether they are hosted by the host himself or operated by a formal restaurant open to the outside world, that is, buffets are only allowed to be enjoyed at the dining site by themselves, and the other party is absolutely not allowed to take them home after eating. Business people must keep this in mind when attending buffets. It doesn't matter how much you eat at dinner, but don't secretly put some of your "favorite things" in your pockets and purses, and don't ask the waiter to "pack" for yourself. That kind of performance will definitely make you laugh at others.

sixth, the tableware should be returned. In the buffet, since it is emphasized that diners are mainly self-help, diners must keep this in mind and put it into action seriously during the whole process of eating. Emphasizing self-help in buffet not only requires diners to take self-help when taking dishes, but also requires them to finish from the beginning to the end, and consciously send tableware to the designated place after the meal. Under normal circumstances, most buffets require diners to arrange their own tableware after eating and before leaving the dining scene, and then send them back to the designated location. This is especially true when enjoying buffets in courtyards and gardens. It is not allowed to throw the tableware around or even destroy it at will. When sitting in a restaurant, sometimes you can leave the tableware on the table when you leave, and the waiter is responsible for cleaning it up. Even so, it is better to tidy it up a little before you leave. Don't mess up the cups and plates on your dining table. It is advisable to eat the food you take for yourself. In case there is a little food left, don't throw it around, dump it or hide it in private, but put it in a proper place.

Seventh, we should take care of others. When attending a buffet, business people should not only strictly control their own behavior when eating, but also take care of others in harmony. We need to pay special attention to our companions. If they are not familiar with the buffet, we might as well briefly introduce them. On the premise that the other party is willing, you can also give them some specific suggestions on selecting dishes. We should also be considerate of acquaintances we meet at the buffet. However, you can't take food directly for each other without permission, and you are not allowed to "handle" food that you don't like or can't eat for each other. In the process of dining, other strangers should be treated with courtesy. During waiting in line, taking food, finding seats and taking action, you should be humble to other diners, and don't be arrogant and rude.

Eighth, we should actively communicate. Generally speaking, when attending a buffet, business people must be clear that eating is often a secondary matter, and proper communication with others is their most important task. This is especially true when attending a buffet hosted by a business unit. Therefore, you should not hide in a secluded place and concentrate on eating wholeheartedly on the grounds of bad communication, or eat when you come, eat and leave without any form of positive contact with other people present. When attending a buffet, you must actively look for opportunities and actively engage in social activities. First of all, you should find opportunities to talk with your host. Secondly, you should have a good chat with your old friends. Finally, we should try to make more new friends.

At a buffet, the main form of communication is that several people get together and talk. In order to expand my communication, I don't want to change several similar communication circles during this period. It's just that in every social circle, you always have to stay for a while, and you can't just stay for a minute or two and leave immediately, just like a dragonfly. There are generally three ways to get involved in unfamiliar social circles. One is to ask the host or people in the circle to introduce you. The second is to look for opportunities and take the opportunity to join. Third, it is self-recommendation.

the subtle difference between buffet and buffet: buffet is suitable for all seasons, and the style of dishes is mainly cold dishes, with both meat and vegetables. The proportion of hot dishes can be adjusted according to seasonal changes and guests' requirements. These dishes are elegant in appearance, hygienic and refreshing, with diverse tastes and different tastes, and you can taste snacks and unique local flavor. Buffet is generally suitable for group parties and elegant receptions, and it is a good place to exchange feelings and opinions. Guests can freely combine, walk around and choose their favorite food. Buffet party: the form of buffet party and buffet party is basically the same. Cold dinners are basically cold dishes, drinks and low-alcohol wines with elegant style and unique flavor, not for the main purpose of eating. They are usually suitable for receptions, press conferences and so on. Package: The package is based on the standard of each guest's meal and the combination of dishes according to the specifications of the banquet. It is not limited by the number of people, and each person has one set. Therefore, the set meal is also called the separate meal system. In the set meal, guests can choose a combination set meal that suits their tastes according to their own consumption standards. This way of eating is convenient and hygienic. The combination principle of the set meal is to formulate dishes with different specifications, tastes and textures according to the guests' dining standards to meet the guests' dining requirements.

A new interpretation of buffet

Buffet, an exquisite pot-rice buffet, is a favorite collective behavior of modern urbanites, because it can save a lot of trouble in ordering food, as well as the empty set of mind and courtesy in side dishes, and more importantly, it is "cost-effective". You can taste all kinds of delicious food in the shortest time and limited space at a price. This is largely related to the restless nature of human beings and the quick success and instant benefit mentality of modern urbanites. No wonder buffets are very popular nowadays.

To put it bluntly, the buffet is actually a big pot of rice, an exquisite big pot of rice, just like a modified casual dress popular nowadays. In fact, both of them are American cultures, and they only pay attention to being unconstrained, convenient and comfortable, paying attention to the effect and not paying attention to the process.

It's true that there are many delicious foods in the world that we can't wait to taste all at once, but sometimes too many choices make us tired, and we walk around the various food tables, and only those flavors that are in line with our own taste are put into the plate. Buffet is the most typical expression of "eating in the bowl and looking at the pot". I would rather not finish the rest than underestimate the capacity of my stomach. When eating a buffet, a large group of people often choose the one closest to the food table first, and their own expert spies go to inspect the environment first, and then report to them-the best value for money is coming out soon, and everyone must act together to fight annihilation, regardless of whether they like it or not, and then talk about it on the plate. What the buffet asks for is weight, and "cost-effectiveness" is everything. Buffet seldom hurts the spleen and stomach, otherwise it will spoil the appetite, especially those large-scale buffets at the annual meeting of companies and enterprises. Everyone flocked to the food table at the same time, and some people described them as "wild kids who robbed the rice". The long and slowly moving queue was a bit like the queue in front of the porridge shed in old Shanghai.

it is not convenient for a person to eat buffet-although it is most suitable for a person to eat buffet-because there is no one to watch over your belongings; It is not suitable for two men and women who have just met to eat buffet, because one person has to stay to see things when he goes to eat, and the two always have to cross their seats, which is not suitable for simmering and cultivating emotions; Those who are trying to lose weight are not suitable for buffet, because the temptation is too great; It is the most suitable buffet for families to celebrate happy days and get together with friends-we can choose our own food without considering other people's tastes. Buffet is Buffet in English, which means buffet dinner and cocktail party. During World War II, the buffet was widely introduced into the military canteen in the rear of the US military, and its content has greatly exceeded the snack category of the reception, and it has developed into a choice of eating forms such as staple food, dessert and hot soup. After the war, American amorous feelings became a kind of attraction of consumption. With the arrival of some world-class chain five-star hotels in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and other places, this American buffet was widely introduced, and it has also become a fashionable food culture in Shanghai in recent years.

I still remember that when the buffet just emerged in Shanghai Xiaohe in the late 1971s, Shanghainese, who had long been short of materials and had a short-sighted vision, made a fool of themselves: a pot full of hot, cold, salty and sweet ice cream had been robbed before the waiters could put it on the dining table ... Today, the next generation of Shanghainese have learned to enjoy the buffet leisurely, which is also a progress of urban civilization. In fact, the buffet is a fool to our stomach, just like McDonald's and KFC. Its greatest advantage is that it can be used by urbanites to digest the cultures of various countries with the most primitive instinct-from Korean barbecue to Japanese cuisine, from Indonesian satay to Guangdong roasted meat, all of which can be tasted in the same buffet. Only the French and senior Shanghai don't buy it. They prefer to enjoy a meal under necessary constraints, from the painstaking ordering to the serving of dishes, all of which are carefully thought out and arranged. Although it is not a delicacy, the dessert from the cold basin to the finale has its own subtle layering, which is not as direct as the buffet-everything is clearly in front of you. Buffet is popular, but it can't replace the traditional way of eating and drinking after all.
