Snack: Snack is a kind of food with special taste, which can be used as an ornament between banquets and as the main food for breakfast and dinner. There are all kinds of snacks with distinctive features and unique flavors all over the world. Snacks made of local materials can highlight the local material and social life, which is an indispensable feature of a region and the main target of homesickness for homeless people. Modern people usually don't eat snacks to satisfy their hunger. Besides satisfying their desires, they can also learn about local customs by tasting snacks with different local flavors. Some people can't eat too much because of their small appetite or illness. Three meals are not enough to provide the necessary nutrition, so they need to eat some extra snacks after meals. Snacks generally have a low starting point and low price, so most people can afford them.
Dessert: Dessert originated in Egypt and Greece in ancient Egypt more than 5,000 years ago. Snacks appear as sacrifices. It is said that the murals on the tomb of Ram III in the12nd century BC are painted with baked snacks in the shape of circles, triangles, flowers or animals. In the 7th-8th century BC, Greece produced a city-state, and also produced a raisin snack wrapped in fig leaves, called Dorian snack, which is considered to be the origin of today's raisin pudding.
From dessert to pastry
When Europe was born, sugar began to be used around the tenth century. During the Crusade, Italian cities began to make snacks with sugar, such as muffins made of peanuts and sugar, or desserts sprinkled with spices and sugar. In addition, in France in the13rd century, a pastry shop invented a cream fruit pie baked with almonds, and it has been called a pastry shop since then.
◆ The taste of cheesecake
In ancient Rome, dim sum became more exquisite. At that time, wheat flour became finer and the function of oven was more advanced, so people who made bread were born. At this time, some people have mixed honey with almonds to make cheesecake, which is called Doraemon or Prajue. Eating dessert has become one of the eating habits.
Dim sum is very popular among the nobles in Paris and Vienna.
In the gorgeous aristocratic society, all kinds of exquisite snacks are constantly stimulated and created. Italian Cadoli Domelli, who married King Amway II of France, and her chef colleagues are the driving force for the development of dim sum. Coincidentally, in the court society of Vienna, Queen Mary Teresa not only maintained this art, but also married her daughter Mary Antoinette to Louis XVI with the help of a pastry chef, so that women who love desserts can also enjoy delicious desserts. Of course, with the appearance of dairy products, the appearance of cream, whipped cream or chocolate from the New World also makes chefs' dessert creation more flexible and diverse in the future.
Ordering:
Snacks (cold cuts):
Set snacks 15 minutes before the banquet, and place knives or spoons according to different dishes. Use forks for hard dishes and sliced dishes, and spoons for soft dishes, soups and juices. When guests put snacks, knives and forks together, it means that they have eaten well, and then they can take them out with their plates.
Soup:
There are generally two ways to serve soup: one is to put the soup in a soup plate and put a saucer for each guest below; The other is to put the soup plate (cushion chassis) in front of the guests, and the waiter will put the soup in front of each guest so that the guests can help themselves as appropriate. When the guest places the spoon vertically, it means that he has finished eating and can take away the tableware.
Hot dishes:
There are two forms of serving hot dishes: one is to put long plates on the dining table and let the guests help themselves; The other is that the waiter carries a long plate to order for each guest.
