How to read the French menu
Western Valentine's Day is coming, and many couples choose to spend romantic Valentine's Day with their lovers in western restaurants. Among all kinds of western restaurants, the romantic atmosphere of French restaurants is most loved by couples. So, how do you read and understand French food recipes? Today, Bian Xiao will teach you, come and study, and get ready for the candlelight dinner on Valentine's Day! Generally speaking, French cuisine is divided into five categories: appetizer, appetizer, main course, cheese and dessert, and the main course is divided into seafood and meat. High-end French restaurants offer special seasonal menus, such as "Winter Package", "Spring Package" or more chic "Tasting Package". Usually, the latter is smaller than ordinary meals, but there are many kinds, and they are all representative dishes of restaurants. Generally speaking, diners who go to a French restaurant for the first time or just eat French food will suggest a set meal so that they can taste affordable and delicious French food. In the "set meal", it is generally arranged in the order of appetizer, appetizer, main course, cheese and dessert, with seafood as the appetizer and meat as the main dish. The normal menu is arranged in the same order as the set meal, except that there is an extra coffee at the end. By observing whether the menu of a restaurant is up to standard, we can judge whether the menu it provides is balanced. Usually, in terms of quantity, from appetizers, appetizers, main courses, cheese to desserts, it is most appropriate to keep five to seven choices for each item in a good standard menu. Too much will lead to poor quality of raw materials in restaurants, which may lead to inventory. In addition, the choice of raw materials must be excellent, such as "Perigord Truffle", "Brittany Lobster" or "Flash Sturgeon Caviar". Of course, it is best to be bold and creative in the change of dishes. As for the choice of wine, it is suggested to start with light and refreshing white wine or champagne, and then turn it into rich red wine according to the order and color of serving. Generally speaking, most appetizers are seafood, so it is most suitable to match with white wine or peach wine; The main course is mostly meat, usually with red wine; After that, cheese can be matched with fruits or spices according to personal needs; The last dessert is best served with expensive and rotten sweet liquor or ordinary sweet liquor. After drinking coffee, men can also order a glass of brandy as a perfect meal ending. "Eating" delicious food is of course an unparalleled pleasure, and "reading" the menu, studying the ingredients of each dish and imagining its color and taste is a supreme pleasure.
