点餐的品位和流行
点菜是很个性化的,不能说因为某人点某样菜,就说他有品位。但毫无疑问,这其中也有一些门道。
首先,和中餐不一样,西餐用餐时应该把所有的菜吃完,如果点了太多而眼宽肚窄,这是很不礼貌的。其次,点菜时也要考虑是否要预先留点肚子空间以便最后点一些甜品,因为甜品是吃完主菜才再看菜单或专门的甜品单来点的。点饮料也是非常个性化的,这是就餐的搭配,选择一些可以提高就餐气氛的饮料如鸡尾酒、葡萄酒、或天然带汽矿泉水都是不错的选择。
随着我们生活水平的提高,我们越来越注重吃得好而不是 吃得饱。有机橄榄油、有机蔬菜都是被频频提到的高品质食品之选。地中海饮食(Mediterranean Diet)这种饮食习惯受推崇健康饮食人士的推荐,成为一种流行。
美酒如何配美食
西餐中,在点完主菜后,搭配的酒也有一些普遍的规律:
Local food, local wine 当地食物配当地酒品
Light wines with light food, heavy wines with heavy food
口味清淡的酒配口味清淡的主食,重口味的主食一般可配口感醇厚的酒
Simple wines with complex food, complex wines with simple food.
简单的菜配口感层次多的酒品,而复杂的菜就可配口味相对单一的酒水。
如果主食是辣的,那配什么酒水好呢?Andre建议,啤酒或是茶更好。不过,如果你还是想要来点酒,那香槟酒、干白葡萄酒或是干红葡萄酒都不妨一试?
但他同时表示,配酒的规律并不是一成不变的,最重要的一条准则是:你自己喜欢
Do and Dont 习俗各不同
错误:You always hold fork in left hand and knife in right hand.用餐中一直左手拿叉又手拿刀。
正确做法:这种做法在欧洲比较普遍。在美国的餐桌上,人们习惯先用刀将主食切成很多小份,处理完后,就将刀放在一边,将叉换到右手进食。但在欧洲人眼中,这样的做法也有可能被戏评小孩子才这样进餐。
错误:用餐中途离席时把餐巾丢在座位上
正确做法:这种做法并不鼓励,用来擦嘴的餐巾还带着污渍或是碎屑。正确的方法应该将餐巾折叠后放在左手边餐盘旁,切记不要放在右手边,因为这样服务员会以为你用餐完毕。
错误:Using a knife to cut his dinner roll 用刀去切开餐前面包
正确做法:用手将面包掰成容易处理的大小。
错误:Holdthe wine glass by its bowl 握着酒杯的杯身
正确做法:拿酒杯永远得握着细细的杯脚部分。
