When introducing western food etiquette, the first thing to understand is that the order of serving western food is very different from that of Chinese food. Chinese food is often a table, full, and everyone can eat together. Western food is a formal complete meal served together. The order of serving is: 1) the first course. The first course of western food is the first course, also called appetizer. Because appetizers are appetizers, appetizers generally have a special flavor, salty and sour, and the quantity is small and the quality is high. Common appetizers include prawn and lobster salad, caviar, foie gras, smoked salmon, cream chicken crisp box, roasted snail and so on. 2) soup. Different from Chinese food, the second course of western food is soup. There are oxtail clear soup, various cream soups, seafood soup, American clam soup, Italian vegetable soup and Russian Luo Songtang. 3) Small dishes. Fish dishes are generally regarded as the third course of western food, also known as side dishes. Species include all kinds of freshwater and seawater fish, shellfish and molluscs. Aquatic vegetables and eggs, bread and crispy box vegetables are usually called side dishes. Fish and other dishes are placed in front of meat dishes because they are tender and easy to digest. 4) staple food. 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. Its cooking methods are often baking, frying, baking and so on. The raw materials of poultry 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 largest variety of poultry dishes, including pheasant, turkey and bamboo chicken, which can be cooked, fried, roasted and stewed. The main sauces are yellow gravy, curry juice and cream juice. Focus on the annual steak: steak is usually the main meal we often order in western restaurants, so we will focus on the degree of raw steak, which is called "well-done" in western restaurants. Medium rare: When the steak is cut, only the upper and lower layers are grayish brown. During this period, 70% of the meat is red with a lot of blood, which is the best way to taste delicious beef. Medium: When you cut the steak, you can see that 50% of the meat in the center of the slice is red with a little blood, which is the best proportion to taste the steak. Medium rare: when the steak is cut, there is only a narrow red line in the center of the cut plane, and the blood in the meat is almost dry, which is the percentage chosen by the public. Well-done: after cutting, a small amount of clear gravy oozes out and the meat becomes slightly hard. This is generally not recommended, but it is suitable for people with religious beliefs. Westerners like to eat raw steak, because it is moderately oily, slightly bloody and delicious. Orientals prefer 7 ripe, because they are afraid to see blood in the meat, so they think the less blood, the better. Therefore, when you eat steak in a western restaurant in the future, you can also order some raw steak according to your own preferences. How to cut the steak: fork the meat from the left when eating, and then cut it along the right side of the fork with a knife. If the cut meat can't be eaten in one bite, you can directly cut it into small pieces with a knife, cut the meat into just one bite, and then send it directly to the population with a fork. 5) Vegetable dishes. Vegetarian dishes can be arranged after meat dishes or served at the same time with meat dishes, so they can be regarded as both a dish and 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. 6) dessert. The dessert of western food is eaten after the main course, which can be regarded as the sixth course. In a real sense, it includes all the food after the main course, including not only pudding, cake and ice cream, but also cheese and fruit. Coffee and tea. Everyone is already familiar with it, so I won't introduce it much. Tea usually refers to black tea, usually with fragrant peach slices and sugar.
