The so-called etiquette of enjoying buffet mainly refers to the etiquette norms that need to be followed when attending buffet as diners. Generally speaking, in buffet etiquette, the etiquette of enjoying buffet is often more important to most people. Usually it mainly involves the following eight points. First, we have to queue up for food. While enjoying the buffet, although the diner needs to take care of himself, it doesn't mean that he can do whatever he wants. In fact, when sampling meals, diners often come in droves, so everyone must consciously maintain public order, pay attention to first come, then come, and queue up to choose meals. No crowding, looting, jumping in line, and no waiting in line. Before you take food, you should prepare a food plate. When it's your turn to take food, you should put the food on your plate with ordinary tableware and leave quickly. Don't hesitate in front of many foods. Let the people behind you wait. Don't be picky when cutting vegetables. You can even start directly or use your own tableware to cut vegetables. Second, take the dishes in order. In the buffet, if you want to eat well, you must first understand the reasonable order of taking food, and then step by step. According to common sense, in a general buffet, the standard order of taking food should be: cold dish, soup, hot dish, dim sum, dessert and fruit. Therefore, when you take the food, you'd better walk around the audience first, get to know the situation, and then take the food. If you don't understand this reasonable order of picking vegetables and do it in your own way when picking vegetables, you will inevitably put the cart before the horse and make yourself eat neither carefree nor comfortable. For example, at the buffet, dessert and fruit should be regarded as the "finale" and eaten last. But if you don't follow this rule and eat sweets and fruits first for freshness, you will be full soon. In the future, if you see something good you want to eat, you will probably be overwhelmed and have to "look at the ocean and sigh". Third, do what you can. When I attended the buffet, I met something I liked to eat. As long as I don't break myself, I can put down my stomach and eat. The quantity is unlimited, and the supply is guaranteed. In fact, this is the reason why the buffet is popular. Therefore, when business people attend the buffet, they don't have to worry about being laughed at and eating whatever they like. However, it should be noted that when choosing food according to your own taste, you must do what you can. Don't take all the food away just to be full. As a result, you are "too arrogant" to do it, leading to food waste. Strictly speaking, when enjoying a buffet, eating more is allowed, but wasting food is absolutely not allowed. This one is called the "take less" principle in buffet dining. Sometimes, some people call it the principle of "taking less at a time". Fourth, we should fetch vegetables many times. While observing the principle of "take less" in buffet, we should also abide by the principle of "take more". The principle of "multiple times" is the abbreviation of the principle of "multiple times to take food", which specifically means that diners choose a certain dish in the buffet and allow them to take food repeatedly. You should only eat a little at a time. After tasting it, if you think it suits you, you can eat it again until you feel good. In other words, this principle actually means that it doesn't matter how many times you take a buffet, and you can add it repeatedly. On the contrary, in order to save trouble, it is impolite to take too much at a time and pretend too much, just like the performance of Miss Zhou Jin mentioned above, which will definitely make others stunned. The principle of "many times" and the principle of "taking less" are actually two different sides of the same problem. "Take more" means doing what you can, and "take less" is also to avoid waste. Therefore, the two are often referred to as the principle of "taking less for many times". Anyone who can eat buffet knows that when choosing dishes, it is best to choose only one for yourself at a time. Eat well and then get other varieties. If you don't know this way, when you pick up vegetables, you will put all kinds of dishes together, resulting in mixed tastes and intransigence, which will inevitably lead to ruin. Fifth, we should avoid takeout. There is an unwritten rule in all buffets, whether hosted by the host himself or operated by a regular restaurant open to the outside world, that is, buffets are only allowed to be enjoyed at the dining site, and the other party is absolutely not allowed to take them home after eating. Business people must keep this in mind when attending buffets. It doesn't matter how much you eat, but don't secretly put some of your "favorite things" in your pockets and purses, and don't let the waiter "pack" yourself. That kind of performance will definitely make you laugh at others. Sixth, return the tableware. In the buffet, since it is emphasized that diners are mainly self-help, diners must keep this in mind and put it into action in the whole dining process. Buffet emphasizes self-help, which not only requires diners to help themselves when picking up dishes, but also requires them to finish eating from beginning to end and consciously send tableware to the designated place after meals. In general, most buffets require diners to arrange their own tableware after eating and before leaving the dining scene, and then send it back to the designated place. This is especially true when enjoying buffets in courtyards and gardens. It is not allowed to throw tableware or even destroy it at will. Sitting in a restaurant, sometimes you can leave the tableware on the table when you leave, and the waiter is responsible for cleaning it up. Even so, it is better to tidy up a little before you go. Don't mess up the cups and plates on your dining table. It is wise to eat your own food. In case there is any food left, don't throw it around, dump it or hide it privately, but put it in a proper place. Seventh, we should take care of others. When attending a buffet, business people should not only strictly control their eating behavior, but also take care of others harmoniously. We need to pay special attention to our companions. If they are not familiar with the buffet, we might as well give a brief introduction. On the premise that the other party is willing, you can also give them some specific suggestions on choosing dishes. We should also be considerate of the acquaintances we meet at the buffet. But you can't take food directly to the other party without permission, and you are not allowed to "handle" food that you don't like or can't eat. In the process of eating, you should be polite to other strangers. In the process of waiting in line, taking food, finding a seat and taking action, be humble to other diners and don't be arrogant and rude. Eighth, we should actively communicate. Generally speaking, when attending a buffet, business people must know that eating is often a secondary matter, and proper communication with others is their most important task. This is especially true when attending buffets organized by business units. So don't hide in a secluded place and concentrate on eating on the grounds of poor communication, or eat when you come, eat and leave, and don't have any form of positive contact with other people present. When you attend a buffet, you must actively look for opportunities and actively participate in social activities. First of all, you should find opportunities to talk to your host. Secondly, you should have a good talk with your old friends. Finally, we should try to make more new friends. At the buffet, the main form of communication is that several people get together to chat. In order to expand my communication, I don't want to change several similar communication circles during this period. It's just that in every social circle, you always have to stay for a while. You can't just stay for a minute or two and leave immediately, just like skimming the water. There are generally three ways to get involved in unfamiliar social circles. One is to ask the host or people in the circle to introduce you. The second is to look for opportunities and take the opportunity to join. Third, it is self-recommendation.
The subtle difference between buffet and buffet: it is suitable for four seasons, and the style of dishes is mainly cold dishes, with both meat and vegetables. The proportion of hot dishes can be adjusted according to seasonal changes and guests' requirements. These dishes are elegant in appearance, hygienic and refreshing, and have various tastes, so you can taste snacks and unique local flavor. Buffet is generally suitable for group gatherings and elegant cocktail parties, and it is a good place to exchange feelings and opinions. Guests can freely combine, walk around and choose their favorite food. Buffet party: Buffet party and buffet party are basically the same. 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. Set meal: Set meal is a combination of dishes according to the dining standard of each guest and the specifications of the banquet. There is no limit on the number of people, one set per person. Therefore, the set meal is also called the separate meal system. In the package, guests can choose a combination package that suits their taste according to their own consumption standards. This way of eating is convenient and hygienic. The combination principle of set meal is to prepare dishes with different specifications, tastes and textures according to the guests' dining standards to meet the guests' dining requirements.
A New Interpretation of Buffet
Buffet is a kind of exquisite big pot buffet, and it is a collective behavior that modern urbanites love. Because it can save a lot of trouble in ordering food, there is also a set of hypocritical manners in the mind of side dishes, and more importantly, "cost performance." You can taste all kinds of delicious food at a price in the shortest time and limited space. This is largely related to the restless nature of human beings and the mentality of modern urbanites for quick success and instant benefit. No wonder the buffet is very popular now. To put it bluntly, buffet is actually a big pot of rice, exquisite big pot of rice, just like a modified casual wear that is popular today. In fact, both of them are American cultures, and they only pay attention to freedom, convenience and comfort, effect and process. It is true that there are many delicious foods in the world that we can't wait to have a full meal, but sometimes we are exhausted by too many choices, and we take a walk in front of various food tables, only those that meet our usual tastes are put on the plate. Buffet is the most typical expression of "eating in a bowl and watching in a pot". I would rather not eat the rest than underestimate the capacity of my stomach. When eating a buffet, a large group of people often choose the one closest to the food table first, and their expert spies will first inspect the environment and then report to them-the most cost-effective one will come out soon, and everyone must act together to fight annihilation, whether they like it or not, and then say it on the plate. Buffet requires weight, and "cost performance" is everything. Buffet rarely hurts the spleen and stomach, otherwise it will spoil the appetite, especially those large buffets at the annual meeting of companies and enterprises. Everyone flocked to the food table at the same time, and some people described them as "wild children who robbed rice." The long, slow-moving queue is a bit like the queue in front of the old Shanghai porridge shed. It is inconvenient for a person to eat buffet-although it is most suitable for a person to eat buffet-because there is no one to look after your belongings; It is not suitable for two men and women who have just met to eat buffet, because one person has to stay to see things when going to eat, and two people always have to cross their seats, which is not suitable for cultivating emotions in a small fire; People who are losing weight are not suitable for buffet because the temptation is too great; It is the most suitable buffet for families to celebrate happy days and get together with friends-we can choose our own food without considering other people's tastes. 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. After the war, American customs became an attraction of consumption. With the entry of some world-class chain five-star hotels in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, this American buffet has been widely introduced and has become a fashionable food culture in Shanghai in recent years. I still remember that in the late 1970s, when Shanghai Xiaohe Buffet was just in Sharp, Shanghainese, who had long been short-sighted and short-sighted, made a fool of themselves: a pot of hot, cold, salty and sweet purple ice cream that waiters couldn't serve on the table was taken away ... Today, the next generation of Shanghainese have learned to enjoy the buffet leisurely, which is also a progress of urban civilization. In fact, the buffet is a fool for our stomachs, just like McDonald's and KFC. Its greatest advantage is that it can be digested by urbanites with the most primitive instinct-from Korean barbecue to Japanese cuisine, from Indonesian Satay to Guangdong roasted meat, you can all taste it in the same buffet. Only the French and senior Shanghainese don't buy it. They prefer to enjoy a meal under necessary constraints, from painstaking ordering to serving, all of which are carefully thought out and arranged. Although it is not a gourmet, the dessert has its own subtle layering from the cold basin to the finale, which is not as direct as the buffet-everything is clearly in front of us. Although the buffet is popular, it can't replace the traditional way of eating and drinking.
