Needs In Western Banquet

Now let's talk about the general western style.

First of all, we should consider the size of the banquet size and list the accompanying guests according to the situation of the guests.

Before being invited to the banquet, the invited person should ask for a casual dress or a formal dress according to the invitation.

At the formal banquet, a male waiter stood at the gate to greet the guests and help the guests to take off their clothes.

The hostess greeted the guests in the hall and welcomed her with a smile and a handshake.

If there is a cocktail before dinner, the dinner time should be at least 1 hours later than the time specified in the invitation. If you don't serve cocktail, it will be 20 minutes late.

The purpose is to allow those late guests to have a short respite.

When a late guest enters the banquet hall, he must go to the hostess seat and apologize for his being late.

The hostess led the hostess to the table, and asked her to sit on her right.

At the formal banquet, the hostess is always the last to enter the restaurant.

In the western style banquet, the hostess is the real host of the banquet, playing the most important role throughout the banquet.

Guests must always keep an eye on her behavior so as not to lose her identity.

Western dishes are knives, forks, plates, and some special cutlery for special dishes.

The knife and fork is to use the right hand knife, the left hand fork, the food cut into small pieces, and then fork to send the population.

Europeans do not need to change hands when using knives and forks. When Americans cut food with a knife, they put down their knives and cross the right food.

In addition to cutting food, knives are also used to help food on the fork teeth.

The fork can be used for eating or feeding alone.

If fork is not used with knife, the fork teeth should be upward.

When the knives and forks are used together, the fork teeth should be lowered.

Usually, knife and fork are used to feed the main course.

When holding the spoon with the right hand and fork spoon and feeding, the fork holds the same method as the knife and fork, and the fork teeth are downward.

When eating, follow the knife and fork order from outside.

After each dish is eaten, the knife and fork are arranged in a flat dish to show that they are finished.

If not finished, put eight or cross on the plate, and the blade should be inward.

In addition to the soup, do not use a spoon of food, soup with a deep or small bowl, drink with a spoon from the inside out from the inside out of the entrance.

When you are ready to drink, you can hold up the soup pan slightly.

When eating foods with fishy or odorous flavors, they are all equipped with lemon, which can be squeezed out of food on hand to remove fishy smell.

A more advanced western banquet usually takes 7 kinds of wine, and each dish should keep up with 1 kinds of wine.

In Western banquets, the rules and requirements are very strict in what dishes to eat, what kind of wine to drink and what glasses to use.

When serving a cold dish or a sea glass, drink strong spirits, use a strong glass of wine, drink a sherry (Sherry), use a Sherry glass when the soup is served, drink a chilled white wine in Shanghai, use a white wine glass, drink red wine with red wine when serving the side dishes, drink champagne on the main course, champagne glass, drink arsenic (port) on a dessert, use a wine glass, usually do not need wine when serving fruit and cheese; drink brandy or liqueur while serving coffee, use brandy glass and liqueur glass.

When the banquet starts, every dish will be served by the hostess before the meal begins.

After the entrance, napkins should be put on the knees, and some men are more likely to be at the neckline.

In front of each guest, there is a menu.

The purpose of the menu is not to show the guests the richness of the dishes, but to let the guests decide how much they eat according to their own food intake.

In terms of etiquette, guests are not allowed to refuse every dish. If you don't like a dish, you may as little as possible. It's impolite to leave your food in front of you.

When eating, we should pay attention to the way to eat various dishes: there are two ways to eat meat: the habit of Europeans is to eat while cutting, while the American way of eating is to cut the knife on the right side of the dish after cutting with the knife, and use the fork to feed; the meat pie, fried egg and salad do not use knife, only fork; eat the noodles can not use knives and forks, only use hand to tear; eat potato chips, fried meat slices, celery and other foods, do not use knife and fork, you can eat with your hands.

When you feed, use your thumb and forefinger to pick it up. You can use your napkin to wipe your hands after eating. Use dessert fork and spoon for dessert. When you drink coffee, use small teaspoon to stir sugar instead of spoon it.

When drinking, it is not appropriate to put spoon into the cup; bone residue should be placed on the right corner of the food tray; when eating, it should be shut up and chewed, and can not be heard; burying and other sounds are even more disrespectful behavior, and will be regarded as uneducated performance.

At the end of the party, the host stood up and announced the banquet.

Let the ladies leave the table first and then the gentlemen.

No matter when they leave or attend the seats, the men should help the girl chair to help them to leave or attend.

After leaving the office, you must not rush away. You should wait for the hostess to go out to see the guests.
