Invite guests to eat Western food, order food according to this method, have noodles and save money. Hello everyone, I'm a food translator.
Whether you're having a party with friends, a dinner party, or even a dinner with your girlfriend in love, it's definitely a great idea to take them to a Western restaurant with an elegant and attentive environment.
In fact, there are many types of Western food. In addition to formal Western food, many Western restaurants also offer Pizza, Hamburger and Sandwiches, etc., but these types of food are not suitable for the above occasions, so the food translator today introduces to the friends the formal Western food ordering method.
When it comes to formal Western food, perhaps many friends think of eating steak. In fact, the formal Western food, is "one main six match", simply put, the full set of Western food contains seven dishes, a main dish and six side dishes, different dishes should consider the balance of light, strong, spicy and sweet taste, and the texture, temperature and color between different foods, and the collocation of condiments should also be coordinated. And the steak that everyone often says is just one of the main dishes.
There are 4 guidelines for formal Western cuisine
1. When ordering, do not repeat the taste of each dish, and order different types of dishes before and after.
2. If the first dish is fried food wrapped in flour, do not choose a food such as pastry for dessert after the meal.
3. If the first dish is cream soup, there is no need for vegetables with cream juice in the main dish.
4. Do not choose fruit as an appetizer, as sweetness can dull the taste buds
The order in which the formal Western food is served
1. Appetizers
Appetizers are the first course of Western food, also called starter, or appetizer. The purpose of appetizers is to stimulate the taste buds and increase appetite, so the taste is mainly salty and sour, and the quantity is small and the quality is higher.
Common appetizers include caviar, foie gras, smoked frog fish, chicken tail cup, cream chicken crisp box, baked snails, etc.
2. Soup
Soup is usually a second course. A small portion of hot soup stimulates the taste buds and can also add some "lubricant" to the digestive tract.
Western soups can be roughly divided into four categories: clear soup, cream soup, vegetable soup, and cold soup. The varieties of hot soups include cream soup, seafood soup, American clam soup, Italian vegetable soup, Russian borscht soup, and French baked shallot soup. There are relatively few varieties of cold soup, including German cold soup and Russian cold soup.
3. Side dishes
Side dishes are the third course of Western food, often called white meat, mainly aquatic dishes and egg dishes, including a variety of freshwater, marine fish, shellfish and mollusks. Because the meat of dishes such as fish is tender and relatively easy to digest, it is placed in front of meat dishes. Western fish dishes pay attention to the use of special sauces, varieties of tartar sauce, Dutch juice and white cream juice a variety of sauces.
4. Main course
The main dish is the fourth course of Western food, usually called red meat, mainly pork, beef, lamb, etc., the most representative of which is beef or steak, and its cooking methods are often roasted, fried, teppanyaki and so on. The main sauces used in meat dishes are Spanish juice, thick roasted essence juice, mushroom juice, belarusian juice and so on.
5. Side dishes
The taste of the side dishes is relatively light, mainly to remove the thick taste in the mouth and restore the perception of the taste buds. Side dishes are mainly vegetable dishes (salad), generally after meat dishes, but also can be served at the same time as meat dishes.
Raw vegetable salads that are served with the main course are generally made with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, asparagus, etc. The main sauces are vinegar oil juice, French juice, dry island juice, cheese salad juice and so on. There are also some vegetables that are cooked and can also be used as salad options, such as cauliflower, boiled spinach, and fried potato chips.
6. Dessert
Dessert is eaten after the main course, as the sixth course of Western food, it includes all the food after the main course, such as pudding, jelly, pancakes, ice cream, cheese, fruit, etc.
7. Hot drink (coffee or tea), or cold drink
The last course of Western food is served with a drink, coffee or tea.
