Banquet menu in rural areas of Northeast China pays attention to:
In rural wedding banquets, the dishes are not as exquisite and gorgeous as hotels, and they pay too much attention to appearance. Rural wedding dishes should be rich, and the names of dishes should be auspicious and festive, with lively pictures and beautiful meanings. Let's see what's so special about the rural menu.
1, the number of dishes must be even.
In the rural wedding custom, the dishes of the wedding banquet are even, usually ending in 86, symbolizing wealth and smoothness. Ten dishes symbolize perfection, and twelve dishes represent the happiness of the month. People think it is more auspicious and has the meaning of yes-man.
The name of this dish is both festive and auspicious.
Try to choose dishes with auspicious meanings at rural wedding banquets to express blessings and good wishes to the couple. For example, the name "red robe plus happiness" will be used to deduct meat; Jujube longan lotus seed peanut soup will be named "Zaosheng"; Pork belly with ginkgo in the soup will be named "grow old together" and so on.
3. Taste varies from region to region.
The taste of rural wedding banquets is mainly determined according to the tastes of various places and regions. Sichuan cuisine (commonly known as nine bowls) is served in rural areas of Sichuan, Hunan cuisine is served in rural areas, and Shanghai serves local dishes. In a word, the taste of wedding dishes is very local and must be accepted by most guests. If the guests can't eat spicy food, get a table of spicy food feast, I believe the guests can't get chopsticks; On the contrary, if you are a Sichuan person who is not spicy and unhappy, I believe that you will not be welcome if you get a table full of dishes.
4. Main materials
The main dishes of rural wedding banquets in China are several basic items: chicken, duck, fish, pig and hoof. Not only that, from the fancy of dishes, cold dishes, hot dishes, soup, snacks and fruits are also essential.
5. Respect local customs
Rural wedding banquet menu should also pay attention to local customs, remember local taboos, which are all necessary to pay attention to when drawing up the menu. We should also respect the habits of our guests. Some guests are vegetarians or people who need to be taken care of for physical reasons. Ask them in advance, and if you can prepare it yourself, don't prepare any more poison. Of course, there are so many guests that it is impossible to ask them one by one. After all, it is necessary to conform to the tastes of most people.
