The first is soup.
Then there are appetizers (salads, appetizers, etc. )
Then the main course,
Then dessert,
Finally, coffee! Tea!
Cuisine: A meal in western food is divided into seven steps, namely: 1. The first course (appetizer, which can be divided into cold dishes and hot dishes) is actually very similar to our cold dishes, with excellent flavor and unique characteristics. Soup (also divided into clear soup, cream soup, vegetable soup and cold soup) 3. Side dishes (usually things that match, such as aquatic vegetables and eggs, bread, crispy box vegetables, etc.) ), and eating some meat main course may be a sauce. Main course (meat and poultry dishes) 5. Vegetables (mainly salads and other vegetables with the main course) 6. Desserts (such as pudding, ice cream, cheese, coffee, etc. ), if coffee should be coffee with sugar and whipped cream, then it is actually a light time to drink after meals, and there is also a "tea" option. ) 7. fruit.
Ordering: I know that western food can be divided into seven categories, so in formal western food activities, I must have at least one item at each step. If you get together personally, the first course, soup, main course, dessert and coffee will be fine! As a side dish, you can order a piece or two of bread for everyone and add some butter according to your personal needs. ) Western food is divided into meals, and it is customary for individuals to order their own food, so people who treat guests should pay attention to this, instead of doing everything when ordering Chinese food. If guests can accept the host's taste, they will generally say the same or similar dishes as the host.
Order wine: If the dish is meat, it should be served with red wine, while the fish should be served with white wine. Before serving, you might as well drink a glass of light wine such as champagne, sherry or gill, so that you can usually choose more than one drink when eating western food. In addition, the acid in western-style salad greatly destroys the mellow taste of wine, so you can choose acid wine to match it, so that the acid contained in wine will be decomposed by lactic acid in salad, which is an absolute match.
How to eat: 1. Napkin: After ordering, open the napkin before delivering the meal, fold one-third inward, and let two-thirds spread flat on the leg to cover the leg above the knee. It's best not to stuff napkins into the neckline. 2. Drink soup: you can't suck when you drink soup. You should first scoop up the soup from back to front with a spoon, with the bottom of the spoon at the lower lip, and deliver the soup to your mouth. The handle of the spoon forms a 5-degree angle with the mouth, and the upper part of the body leans forward slightly. When there is not much soup left in the bowl, you can lift the bowl slightly with your fingers. If the soup is in a bowl with a grip ring, you can drink it directly with the grip ring, but you can't drink it in other bowls. 3. Bread: First tear it into small pieces with both hands, and then eat it with your left hand. When eating hard bread, tearing it by hand is not only laborious, but also crumbs will fall all over the floor. You can cut it in half with a knife and then tear it into pieces to eat. Don't cut bread like a saw. First, insert the knife into the center, cut it near the body, and then turn the bread around to cut off the other half. When cutting bread, you can fix the bread to avoid making noise. 4. Eat fish: Fish is tender and crisp, so restaurants use spoons instead of knives. This kind of spoon is slightly larger and flatter than the ordinary spoon. It can not only divide vegetables, but also scoop sauce. If you want to eat other mixed vegetables, you'd better use a fork. For fishbone, you should first stab a straight line near the gill with a knife, and the tip of the knife should not pierce, but pierce half. After picking up the upper body of the fish, start from the beginning, put the knife under the bone, cut it in the direction of the fish tail, take out the bone and move it to the corner of the plate. Finally, cut off the fish tail. 5. Meat dishes: British people hold a fork in their left hand, with the tip of the fork facing down, and tie up the meat and send it to their mouths. If it is a burnt vegetable, they will put it on a fork with a knife and send it to their mouth. Americans cut the meat in the same way, then put down the knife in their right hand and put it under the meat with the fork tip facing up. Without knives, they shovel meat into their mouths and eat burnt vegetables in the same way. 6. Sauce: The use of the sauce spoon is the same as that of the general spoon. You should push the dish onto the sauce spoon with a fork, rather than fork the dish and pour the sauce with the sauce spoon, because the latter is against etiquette.
Precautions for knives and forks: western food uses knives and forks, so the basic action is: cut with a knife in your right hand, and then fork with a fork in your left hand. If there are more than two knives and forks, you should use them in turn from the outermost one. The way to hold a knife and fork is to gently hold the tail end and press the index finger on the handle. Take a pen and a spoon. If you feel inconvenient, you can change your right hand to hold the fork, but it is impolite to change it frequently. When eating large pieces of vegetables, you can fold and cut them with a knife and fork. Soft food can be placed on the fork plane and arranged with a knife. If you want to put down your knife and fork to rest or talk about something in the middle of a meal, you should put your knife and fork in the center of the plate in a figure of eight. If the knife and fork stick out of the plate, it is neither safe nor beautiful. It's impolite to wave a knife and fork when talking. After eating, put the knife and fork at four o'clock.
The French value food as much as we do in China, and they even regard food as art better than we do. In addition to paying attention to the color, smell and taste of food, the French also pay special attention to the mood of eating, such as exquisite tableware, faint candlelight, elegant environment and so on.
It is an "art" to match every dish and drink in French cuisine. An aperitif is essential, and the variety and even color of wine are very particular when eating. Order meat with red wine, eat seafood such as fish and shrimp with white wine, and some people like to drink brandy after meals. Each wine uses a different glass. Look at the tall and thin glasses in front of you. Don't be nervous if you can't drink well. It's just fun to eat French food and wine at a dinner party. Have a taste.
It is difficult for busy office workers to have the energy and financial resources to enjoy expensive French dinners, let alone travel to France and enjoy French dinners in charming scenery. But it doesn't matter. We specially invited Master Zheng Hongbin, the head of western food in Beijing VIP Hotel, to teach you how to make the most exquisite and romantic French dinner with the simplest raw materials.
