Food refers to all kinds of finished products and raw materials for human consumption or drinking, as well as articles that are traditionally both food and Chinese herbal medicines, but do not include articles for therapeutic purposes.
There are two main functions of food on human body, namely, nutritional function and sensory function, and some foods also have regulatory function. Vegetables are one of the essential foods in people's daily diet. Vegetables can provide a variety of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed by the human body.
Order four courses for three.
Bian Xiao's "Three Principles, One Key Point" helps you become a dinner master.
Rule 1: Ask taboos before ordering.
Asking taboos seems simple, but it is also learned.
This taboo has four main considerations:
1, taste consideration; 2. Health considerations; 3. Occupational taboos; 4. Religious dietary taboos.
Different places have different dietary preferences. Naturally, everyone will have their own unaccustomed and preferred tastes of food.
The first is the taste consideration. Some people don't like to eat animal offal, while others don't like to eat sashimi.
Therefore, before ordering, if you order your own food, you must know in advance what taboos all the people at dinner have; If others order, you should inform them in advance of the food you are afraid to eat.
If everyone says it's casual, let's order it according to the most common regional flavor, which is spicy and sour in the east and sweet in the south and salty in the north.
The second point related to health must be considered.
Especially when there are old people present at dinner, be sure to give them more light dishes. Because after all, the elderly have more or less diseases, such as high blood pressure, cholesterol and so on.
Especially in business dinners and stranger dinners, many Party A people have some health problems in middle age.
Hypertension is the most common disease among young people, and some of them are allergic to certain foods. So before ordering, ask clearly what foods are taboo here and try to avoid ordering some inappropriate dishes.
The third point is the occupational taboo. Nowadays, many occupations need to pay attention to diet. For example, some hosts don't eat spicy food to protect their voices, and some drivers want to ban alcohol.
The fourth point is religious taboo. Islam does not eat pork, animal blood or drink alcohol. Most people who believe in Islam are Hui, Uygur, Kazak and other western minorities. Some friends who believe in Buddhism pretend to be vegetarian. There are also friends who believe in Taoism and don't eat beef, birds, fish or dog meat.
Principle 2: There are two more dishes than people.
Some people think that ordering more dishes will make them look more atmospheric.
As everyone knows, ordering too many dishes actually adds more pressure to the guests, causing unnecessary waste and embarrassing trouble.
Therefore, in terms of the number of dishes, it is generally suggested that "there should be two more dishes than the number of people, making up an even number".
For example, four people order six dishes, six people order eight dishes, and so on.
Of course, the specific number can be adjusted according to the menu code of individual dishes in each restaurant.
Principle 3: Vegetarianism and 64: 00.
When ordering food, we should also pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, cold and hot, and nutrition.
Usually vegetarian dishes are ordered at a ratio of 6:4;
The number of cold dishes is 65438+ 0/2 of hot dishes;
When there is big meat (pure meat), it should be accompanied by big vegetarian (pure green leaves) dishes;
If there are ladies and children present, you can order 1-2 dessert;
There are old people present, order something easy to digest;
For eight or more banquets, there must be at least one fish, and it is a complete fish. Fish head, fish pieces and fish sticks can only be regarded as ordinary meat dishes. People in China pay attention to no fish.
Finally, let's talk about "priorities"
Give priority to dishes with cultural characteristics, followed by local characteristics, and finally consider food with our characteristics.
For example, Guiyang, sour soup beef, silk dolls, wrapped rolls and so on are more distinctive; If you are in Xi, you can consider Chinese hamburger, beef and mutton bread in soup, cold rice noodles and soup packets.
