Steak and Western etiquette

The term "steak" is a general term for steak. There are many common types of steak: Tenderloin, also called fillet ), it is the most tender meat on the beef Ridge, almost no fat, so it is very popular with friends who love to eat lean meat, due to tender meat, fried into 3 mature, 5 mature and 7 mature are suitable. Rib-eye (steak with the naked eye), which has both lean meat and fat meat. because it contains a certain amount of fat meat, this kind of meat is delicious, do not fry it well when eating, 3 mature and best. Sirloin (sirloin steak, beef tenderloin), containing a certain amount of fat oil, because it is a beef tenderloin, in the extension of the meat with a circle of white meat tendon, the overall taste toughness, meat hard, Chewy, it is suitable for young people and people with good teeth to eat, eat, cut meat with a tendon and cut together, And do not fry too well. T-BONE (T-bone steak), T-shaped, is the back of the spine meat, T-type side of the number of more than one side of the amount of less, the amount of is the naked eye, the amount of a little smaller is the Philippine force, this type of steak is more common in American restaurants. Due to the exquisite style of the French meal, it is rarely used for tgu steak with a large amount and rough quality.
The degree of maturity of the steak is called "a few mature" in western food ". 3 mature (rare): Cut the steak to see the cross section only two layers of gray brown, 70% meat is red and carry a lot of blood. 5 mature (medium): cut steak, see section of the central 50% meat is red, with a small amount of blood. 7 mature to mature (welldone): Cut the steak to see the central section only has a narrow red line, the blood in the meat is near dry.

Westerners love more raw steaks. Because of its moderate oil and slightly bloody taste, the steak tastes delicious. Orients prefer 7 maturity because they are afraid of seeing blood in the meat. Therefore, the less blood, the better.

There are many factors that affect the taste of a steak, such as the speed at which it is consumed. When a steak is served, the speed at which it is enjoyed determines whether it is delicious. Because the steak contains both butter and blood, if the temperature is slightly lower, the fresh flavor of the steak will decrease. It is a common practice to cut a steak into small pieces and chew a few times before swallowing. The difference between beef stew and fried steak in western food is not the taste of the slice. In addition, tableware also affects the taste of steak. The steak knife must be sharp. Sometimes, your doubts about the meat are caused by the fact that the knife is not sharp enough. Therefore, before eating a steak, check whether the knives and teeth are clear. In addition, the sauce has a great impact on the taste of the steak. The steak in the French meal is well-matched with juice, such as cream juice, pepper juice, red wine juice, butter liquor juice, mushroom juice, fennel juice, etc.

Since we want to eat western food and steak, we need to learn western etiquette, especially in some medium-and high-grade restaurants. This is especially important; otherwise, complaints will be reported by customers in the same restaurant.

Steak is a big meal. It is suitable for entertaining the target party, wedding anniversary, VIP guests, and there should not be too many people dining at the same table, otherwise it will damage the atmosphere. If more than six friends eat together, the hot pot is recommended. The environment over there is more suitable for chatting and laughter.

A restaurant is usually divided into a smoking area and a non-smoking area. If you don't want to wait in the queue or are arranged in a drop-down area, it is very important to reserve a seat.

In terms of clothing, business buildings are not suitable for Western restaurants, men are not suitable for Denim/shorts, women are not suitable for wearing a sling shirt, T-shirts/jeans and sneakers are not too limited.

It is best to join the client and object at the same time. The owner can lead the road in front of the restaurant. After arriving at the restaurant, the owner should let the lady or guests first under the guidance of Zhike. When the visitor leads everyone to the reserved dining table, the waiter opens the seat, and the master can invite the other party to the seat, and should be seated from the left side of the seat, unless the left side of the wall. Men or owners should sit in aisles, so that women or guests can be on the wall and the other party can feel safe.

If the subject and the guest cannot arrive at the restaurant at the same time, do not be late than the guest; even if the guest is a lady, men should not be late. If there is a time sequence caused by parking, you can wait at the exit of the parking lot or the elevator.
 
The western restaurant will not prepare tableware after you sit in the seat, so you can complain.
Before the seat, the tableware has been prepared on the table. The paper on the left and the cup on the right are used by yourself. As for the knives and forks, the plate is centered, the hand tableware is placed on the side of the hand.

When you sit down, the waiter will hand you a wet tissue to wipe your hands, although you may have just washed your hands before you arrive.

You can fold a piece of paper into a triangle and tile it on your lap. You can also pad a corner under your plate, and leave the rest on your lap. It is wrong to stick the piece of paper in your neck.

Stains on the corners of your mouth or fingers can be printed a few times in the corner of your napkin, but do not wipe it vigorously. If you want to leave in the middle, you can fold the napkin twice and put it neatly on the chair. Remember that the corrupted party should fold inward. Don't let people see your napkin with a "impressive performance.

Be sure to have a lady or guests order first, about drinks, red wine with red meat (steak), white wine with white meat (seafood ).
There is no need for wine. 750 ml of the wine may not be enough for two people, especially shopping after meals.
 
The first dish is pre-dinner bread.
Although the bread is small, it must be torn down in a small piece and pushed into the mouth. Western food is very important. You must take a bite to eat something into your mouth. You cannot take it out halfway and wait until you bite it.
This is greatly different from our usual breakfast method, and many people do not pay attention to it.

Maybe the left hand holds this piece of bread, and the right hand holds the torn small pieces. Where is the support point of the hand? It cannot be suspended in the air.
Neither men nor women can support their elbows. The correct way is to lean your wrist on the edge of the table.
 
Pre-dinner salad

If there are more tableware, it will be used in turn from the external to the internal.
Salad can be done with a fork, avoid using a spoon and a knife, those are for the back of the food.
When a dish is used up, the waiter will take the tableware along with the plate. If the unsuitable tableware is used, the Food remaining on the knife and fork will be contaminated with the tablecloth, which is very bad.
Everything on the plate should be eaten as much as possible. It is polite and moral, and it is hard to come by. If it is an ornament, the waiter will tell you that if you really don't like it, don't talk about it, something that has been bitten.
After eating the tableware, hand it over to the right hand, place it down in the plate, and place it in the direction of four o'clock. If the salad dish is a little special in shape, it is always right to put it in the bottom right of the plate.
 
Tang

You can use a spoon now.
The soup should be slowly picked up with a spoon and delivered to your mouth. The appropriate solution should not be too many, so it looks rude, but also to avoid dropping in the middle of the soup.
When you eat western food, you must always look up and look forward to your head. You cannot bow your head to drink soup, or hold any plate to your lips.
Because most of the soup is loaded on a plate, the last fit may not be convenient to use a spoon, you can use the left hand slightly lift the inside of the plate, the spoon from the inside to the outside of the soup, this is different from the traditional out-of-the-box Chinese.

You cannot throw your mouth or snore because of the good taste of the soup. If it is hot, you can wait for a moment to avoid blowing. Remember to keep the western food quiet.
Yesterday, the man next to me made a loud noise and I pointed out to him politely. Hey hey, the lady opposite him also felt very embarrassed.

The main course has finally come up.
Previous breads, salads, and soups may have made you feel full. Some restaurants offer a small cup of sour plum soup.

Don't be excited when you finally see the long-awaited main course. It has been emphasized that Western restaurants are not suitable for loud noises.
Do not use a knife or a cross to draw a picture that only appears in cartoons.

If a steak with a large bone is ordered, you can ask the waiter to help remove it. In particular, the lady is not skillful in this aspect, and it is very impolite to make a close touch between the knife and the fork and the plate.

Each slice of meat should be eaten. Do not cut the meat once, and the steak will have no fresh taste when it is cold.
If you feel that the taste is not the same as the taste, you can add other spices. Remember to put the fork off the shelf on the edge of the plate, instead of randomly placed on the edge of the plate.

If you need to leave the seat in the middle, the knife and the fork should be in an eight-shaped shape on the plate, and the paper should be folded to the seat.
 
When talking, don't throw it with a knife and a cross. The other party may feel dangerous because the steak cutter is sharp. There is meat in your mouth, there is meat on your fork, or it is better not to talk when you are cutting meat. It looks ugly. Also, close your lips when chewing meat.

If you want to enjoy the steak as soon as possible, you can put down the knives and forks if you can't eat it, drink saliva and sit back and rest. Remember not to take pp over half the area of the chair.
 
There are sweet spots and drinks behind the main course.

If there is an unedible ornament on the dessert, the waiter will tell you clearly, otherwise it will still be all eaten.
The last coffee or tea can be delivered to the mouth with the base held on the left hand, and the cup can be started slowly with the right hand.

All right, fold the paper on the table and ask the waiter to come and check out.
 
Well, the amount of western food will be relatively large. It is the right option to go shopping only after eating it. There is no activity arrangement after the competition.
