The skills of ordering food, how to order food for guests?

1, the first is the order time. Generally speaking, the person who is invited has the most face. It's time to order for the first time before the guests come. Be sure to get the cold dishes ready when the guests arrive. Don't leave the table empty! This is taboo.

2. After the arrival of the host and guest, it is the second time to order food, but generally the host and guest don't order food in person, most of them are second-class or third-class people.

Social banquets are all round tables for ten people, and the basic specifications are "eight cool and eight hot" and "four meat and four vegetarian dishes"

4, "eight cool and eight hot", "four meat and four vegetables", in which there must be a fish, meaning "more than one year";

5. Taboos for ordering "three dishes", "five dishes" and "seven dishes" are generally even. What we usually call three dishes and one soup also means to make up the number.

6. When the banquet situation is relatively large, it is a table for twenty people, so it is "sixteen cool and sixteen hot" and "eight meats and eight vegetarian dishes".

7. If the guests are more important, order one "hard dish" as the minimum specification and four "hard dishes" as the maximum specification. The price is not necessarily expensive, but it has certain connotations, such as a fish for each person.

Order prelude

When ordering food on an empty stomach, the eyes will first stare at those greasy foods with high fat and high calorie, regardless of the stomach's tolerance. So before going to the restaurant, you'd better eat some fruit, a few soda cookies or drink a small cup of yogurt.

One person and one dish.

Generally speaking, four people eat, and it is just right to order 3 hot 1 cold, and five people order 7 hot 1 cold. If there are more than eight people, subtracting 2 from the number of people should be enough. For unfamiliar dishes, when ordering, you should first ask the quantity of the dishes.

Light vegetables are fresher.

Many people are willing to order the "next meal" when they go to restaurants, and sometimes they choose the right ingredients but ignore the practice. In fact, one or two dishes are enough for a table, and the rest should be matched with fresh dishes so as not to make the taste buds too tired. Moreover, rich cooking often masks the stale smell and inferior texture of raw materials. So it's best to eat steamed fish, cold or stir-fried dishes, stewed meat and boiled seafood.

You'd better drink less soup.

Usually, the soup in a restaurant contains salt 100 ml/.2-2 g. After drinking two bowls of soup, you may have eaten 5 grams of salt. Broths such as ribs soup and chicken soup contain a lot of fat and cholesterol. If you must drink it, you'd better choose it before meals, so as to reduce your appetite and avoid taking in excess salt. Or order tofu soup, tomato and egg soup and other home-cooked soups. If it's a banquet, you can order tremella soup or something.

The staple food is better in the morning.
