What do you mean by a cold meal?

Cold meals are also called cold meals. The dishes are mainly cold dishes, but sometimes a small amount of hot meals are prepared. A buffet table should be prepared for cold meals. All kinds of tableware are placed on the buffet table at the same time, and dishes and drinks are concentrated on the buffet table.

Guests choose their own tableware and food according to their personal needs. Guests can eat many times, walk around freely, choose their seats at will, or stand and chat with others while eating. Buffet is buffet in English, which means buffet dinner and cocktail party. During World War II, buffet was widely introduced into military canteens in the rear of the US military, and its content has gone far beyond the snack category of reception, and it has developed into a variety of dietary forms such as staple food, dessert and hot soup.

The form of cold meal is basically the same as that of buffet. Cold meals are basically cold dishes, drinks and low-alcohol wines with elegant style and unique flavor, and the main purpose is not to eat. They are usually suitable for receptions, press conferences and other occasions.
