What is the service process of formal Western food?

When you walk into the restaurant, the waiter will lead you to a seat, and when you are seated, the first thing that will be served is the menu. The menu is regarded as the face of the restaurant, and the owner has always attached great importance to it, using the best fabrics for the cover of the menu, and some even use soft sheepskin to make various beautiful patterns. It seems inappropriate to call it a menu here, and it should be called a "recipe".

Because Western food is a separate meal system, there is a key point in the service, that is, the waiter should observe the speed of each person's eating, and inform the kitchen whether to deliver the next dish by asking the customer or experience judgment. This will avoid similar situations. From the technical part, each department in the kitchen will send the respective units of the finished dishes to the head chef for the final combination and plate decoration.

The chef will have a heat lamp (the name is different, it is similar to a bath bomb to preserve the temperature of the dish for a short time), so that the guests who have not finished the dish will have some time, and the whole process will not drop the temperature of the dish due to buffering.

Appetizer. The first course of Western food is the appetizer, also known as an appetizer. Appetizers are generally divided into cold and hot dishes, and common varieties include caviar, foie gras, smoked salmon, cocktail cups, creamy chicken crisp boxes, baked snails, etc.

Because it is to be appetizing, appetizers generally have a characteristic flavor, the taste is mainly salty and sour, and the quantity is small and the quality is high.

It is usually divided into seven parts of the process: 1Appetizer for the first dish, 2

Soups, 3Non-staple vegetables (aquatic products, eggs.)Main course (meat and poultry.)

Vegetable salad, 6Desserts (ice cream, jelly pudding, mousse cake.)Drinks (coffee, tea).

There are seven or eight dishes of formal Western food, such as appetizers, soups, and main dishes, and one dish is removed after eating, and then another dish is served, so if there are seven people at a table, and each person orders a different one, then the kitchen has to make seven or forty-nine dishes, isn't it more troublesome than Chinese food? Chinese food for seven people is only about 10 dishes at most. Chinese food is to order ingredients to cook.

Western food, on the other hand, is often prepared in advance with vegetables, sauces, meats, etc. Just follow the menu processing. Western food seems to have a lot of plates but few dishes.

Moreover, Western food is divided into meals, and the interval between eating the salad and drinking the soup is enough to make the next dish.

There are four or five major categories on the Western food menu, which are appetizers, soups, salads, seafood, meats, dim sum, etc. The main course should be decided first. If the main dish is fish, the appetizer is meat, and the taste is more varied.

In addition to eating a large amount of food, you don't have to add a whole meal from a single dish on the menu, just an appetizer and a main course, plus a dessert. It's also an ideal combination to do without soup or omit appetizers (but in Italian cuisine, pasta is considered soup, so in principle the two dishes are not ordered together).

Strict standards of Western restaurants require "scraping" the table when each dish is removed from the plate. Waiters will have a small scraper the length of a pen to scrape off the slag from the tablecloth. But there are very few such restaurants.

90% of the restaurants I've been to won't scratch, and Western food plates are generally relatively large, and the chance of dishes falling on the table is very small.

How to order a good dish, I have a trick, whether I eat in a Western restaurant at home or abroad, often order the dishes delicious, and cheap, often praised by colleagues, my method is, open the menu, to see which dish is named after the name of the restaurant, I often take it, I know very well, the chef will not joke with his own name, so they work hard to make the dish, will definitely be delicious, please be sure to order.

Unlike Chinese food, the second course of Western food is soup. Western soup can be broadly divided into four categories: clear soup, cream soup, vegetable soup, and cold soup. There are oxtail consommé, various cream soups, seafood soups, American clam soups, Italian vegetable soups, Russian borscht, and French baked onion soups.

There are few varieties of cold soup, such as German cold soup and Russian cold soup.
