Principle 2: Try to choose auspicious words when naming dishes. Choose auspicious words as far as possible in the naming of dishes to express good wishes to the newcomers, please the guests psychologically and set off the atmosphere.
Principle 3: The wedding banquet menu should be designed according to different people. China is a multi-ethnic country, and each ethnic group has its own unique customs and dietary taboos. The wedding banquet menu should first understand the nationality, religion, occupation, hobbies and taboos of the guests, and flexibly master and match the menu that the guests are satisfied with, such as the traditional Muslim wedding banquet with eight bowls and ten bowls, which is usually mainly beef and mutton, with a little attention to local chicken, local duck, fish and other dishes, which has strong national characteristics.
Principle 4: The choice of raw materials for wedding dishes must be based on customs and pay attention to taboos. The dishes of wedding banquets are generally not restricted by the gang genre, and the raw materials are not required to be expensive, but the weight should be slightly larger, the taste should be appropriate, and the wine should be matched as much as possible. There must never be a situation where guests are not full or feel that they have nothing to eat.
The raw material of traditional wedding banquet dishes must have chicken, which symbolizes auspiciousness and celebration; There must be fish, which symbolizes more than one year, and is generally used as a meat dish. Generally, there should be Chinese dates, peanuts, longan, lotus seeds and homophonic sounds. I wish the new couple an early birth. Most of the dishes in the wedding banquet are mainly in red tones, which brings a festive feeling to the guests. There are generally sauce red, brown red, orange red, carmine and so on. At traditional wedding banquets in Sichuan, there should be braised pork and beets, such as sweet boiled vegetables; Wedding banquets in northeast China usually go to four Joy Luck Clubs as a symbol of celebration. In Hong Kong, there must be no dishes such as tofu and lotus leaf rice at the wedding banquet. Pomegranate (because of its many seeds, meaning many children and grandchildren), watermelon, bayberry and peach (meaning sweet and happy future life) are generally used as fruits in wedding banquets. Avoid pears and oranges, because pears are homophonic with separation, and oranges should be eaten separately one by one.
