All-inclusive food: what a tourist needs to know. Why the buffet in all-inclusive hotels is dangerous

As a rule, we use turkey meat as red meat.

This meat has an elastic structure, so it can be fried several times in a row.

Shark meat is served instead of trout and other local fish.

It is boiled in salted water to counteract the taste. It is almost impossible to detect forgery.

We do not throw away 50 - 60 kg of meat left over from yesterday's buffet. This is waste.

We wash the sauce from the meat, and the next day we cook it with a new sauce.

Pike perch and squid in the kitchen are canned food.

These are canned food, previously soaked in beer.

Dishes with potatoes dominate the menu, as they are very high in calories and keep you feeling full for a long time.

In the kitchen where I work, three people are exclusively busy peeling potatoes all day. I add potatoes to at least 3 meals a day.

There is no waste in the meat department, all pieces of carcass are used.

Usually, veal brisket, brisket and a lot of things that you don't like are put into cutlets, so try not to eat cutlets in hotels, but choose only whole cuts of meat. I repeat: it is better not to eat cutlets.

Take your time to gobble up snacks on a Turkish night.

Let's figure it out. It takes 2 hours to cook 1 kg of "raw Turkish cutlets". Depending on the number of guests, at least 20 kg of cutlets must be prepared. All ingredients are kneaded in a large cauldron. To do this, the younger ones in the kitchen put plastic bags on their feet and climb into this very cauldron. The consistency is excellent, I don’t know the taste, because I haven’t tried it. But the guests like it.

Don't eat salads with mayonnaise.

It would be naive to believe that in a hotel where food is prepared for 2,000 people, everything is going on properly in terms of sanitary and hygienic standards. It is foolish to aggravate the situation by choosing salads prepared with mayonnaise, which promotes the growth of bacteria.

And now about the sweet ...

The stale cakes that remain from yesterday are amicably collected from the windows, kneaded again, decorated with pralines, chocolate drops, fruits, whipped cream and sent back to the buffet.

Yet costs are inevitable.

To fool our customers, we prepare an abundance of watermelon and pumpkin decors. According to my calculations, there are 50 decorations for 20 dishes. First, the eyes need to be saturated, and then the stomach. We know a lot about this.

Choose dishes prepared by the chefs in front of you, accompanied by a gastronomic show.

I know I have to line up. I know that this is not the most delicious of the proposed. However, the most hygienic thing you will find in the hotel.

Even worse than food, the situation is with drinks.

As you know, the all-inclusive system most often includes local drinks, and imported alcohol is poured for a fee. In practice, even if a tourist pays, the first 1-2 glasses are imported. Then the person loses vigilance, and low-quality local alcohol is added to him.

Content

Many catering establishments prefer the "buffet" system. This approach is very convenient and practical: all the preparatory work has been done, a varied menu is offered on the tables. This allows you to feed a large number of visitors at the same time, which is perfect for places with high traffic of people, for example, for hotels. So, food is freely available, everyone can choose what they like best. The solemnity of the format makes the meal extraordinary.

What is a buffet

The way of serving the buffet is the serving of ready-made dishes, in which the visitor chooses the one he likes from those displayed on special tables or distribution lines. Any appetizer is taken in moderation, transferred to your table. There are no waiters, everything is self-service. This meal is almost always free, the cost is already included in the ticket price.

The term "buffet" is found only in Russian. In Asia, European countries this way of eating is called "pantry", in Sweden - smorgasbord or "sandwich table", where sandwiches mean absolutely any food. Another idea of ​​the emergence of the Swedish food system is related to the Scandinavian principles of self-restraint in the absence of control.

The "sandwich table" system is widely used by hotels, when each client needs to be fed very quickly, tasty. Beer houses, pizzerias often host salad bars, democratic cafes and fast foods - buffets that offer hot and cold snacks, desserts. This approach solves the main tasks of restaurant service: to feed tasty food, make it quickly and conveniently for everyone, and attract new customers.

Peculiarities

The organization of the buffet has several advantages. They are attractive to clients and organizers:

• A large selection of dishes gives the visitor a feeling of abundance, the impression that there are a lot of menu options for one price.
• The price of food is lower than traditional food.
• Democratic additional service service.
• Saving time for guests and kitchen workers.

The features of this system depend on the religious and cultural traditions of a particular people. Very often there are days of national cuisine. Some countries prefer spices, sweets, others refuse pork and beef. Most of the establishments on the buffet menu include European cuisine, although the local chef always makes adjustments. The quantity and quality of dishes depends on how many stars the hotel has: the higher the category, the more varied the menu will be.

Each country has its own gastronomic preferences, depending on the characteristics of the people. For example:

• many peppers and spices are used in Indonesia;
• pork is not cooked in Egypt, Tunisia, UAE;
• Eastern countries offer a wide variety of sweets;
• v South-East Asia besides pork, they do not use beef, but prefer a large number of seasonings;
• Europe loves meat: boiled, fried cooking options;
• Italy prefers spaghetti;
• Spain is not complete without paella;
• Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia include cheese and olives on the menu.

Drinks deserve special attention. If the hotel or hotel does not work on the "all inclusive" system, then any drink - water, coffee, juice, tea, wine - is sold for money at all meals, except for breakfast. In Spain, for example, even champagne is served for free in the morning. The variety of drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic, paid or free) depends on the characteristics of the country, and not on the "star rating" of the hotel. Fresh juice is rarely served in Europe, Turkish and East Asian cuisines, on the contrary, are happy to offer any natural drink.

Varieties

There are two types of buffets according to the method of payment for the food consumed. Both are not included in the price of the voucher (if it concerns meals at the hotel). Their features are that:

1. You can come up to a meal an unlimited number of times. The price is fixed and does not affect the amount of food eaten. Any plate size.
2. This food organization is based on the "plate system": payment depends on the size of the dish (small, medium, large) and the number of approaches to the table.

Serving formats according to the Swedish system are designed to satisfy the tastes of all visitors. Varieties are as follows:

• salad bars (salad, light soup, simple snacks) - for those who did not have time to have breakfast;
• American table (cola, hamburgers, fatty snacks) - set next to places of entertainment, for example, near the beach;
• National cuisine;
• the dietary ration is designed for wealthy clients and those who prefer only healthy food;
• lunch buffet is organized in the afternoon;
• a coffee or tea table is offered between main meals.

A form such as brunch or "family lunch" is ideal for a weekend meal at lunchtime. Often, bonuses are offers for partial payments or free meals for children of a certain age. Brunch is often used for birthdays and other holidays. The income from this form of eating is small, but it is considered a good marketing method for attracting customers.

The banquet provides for the simultaneous service of many guests. Drinks, juices are poured at the bars located in several places. The most demanded drink - mineral water, orange juice, wine, champagne - served by the waiters. Snacks are displayed on special tables (round, oval, rectangular) with tablecloth skirts attached to them.

Catering or themed events are organized on the basis of banquets, when the celebration is held in nature or in a room not intended for such purposes. For the organization, special catering companies are invited to take care of all the worries about the event, from arranging tables, decorating the hall or territory, and ending with the preparation of dishes.

Serving

There are a number of rules to which the serving of the buffet should be subordinated, and the most important thing is the grouping of dishes: an appetizer is displayed on one side, a hot dish on the other, sweets, fruits - on the third. For example, at the beginning of the table are appetizers, then bread, then - the first courses, the second, at the end - desserts. It is strictly forbidden to mix products so as not to create the impression of chaos. Fish and meat cannot lie side by side on a tray or plate, seafood is allowed next to fish dishes. Do not lay vegetables, berries, fruits next to each other.

The grouping rules also apply to dishes, drinks, spices and sauces. They are as follows:

• Trays, plates are placed at regular intervals.
• Appliances for applying food to each dish are different. It is important that they are made of stainless steel, wooden appliances can be used, plastic is prohibited.
• Separate places are organized for drinks (near the entrance), used dishes (further away).
• Sauce, spices are placed in small containers next to the dishes they are suitable for.
• Honey, yoghurt, jam are served in small glass or ceramic rosettes.

The shift and frequency of serving dishes is also subject to certain rules. In hotels, all food is displayed immediately, but at banquets, the sequence must be observed:

• Snacks remain until the end of the banquet, they are renewed 2 times per hour in summer, and one time during cooler times.
• Hot meals are served before consumption.
• Cold snacks are laid out on metal dishes (for cooling), salads can be served on ceramics.
• Baked goods are in baskets or on pie plates.
• Space-saving multi-level stands.
• Drinks can be served by glass.

Particular attention is paid to the decoration of the buffet. Flowers, tablecloths, bows, etc. are used. The rules for decorating the table are as follows:

• The presence of flowers speaks of a special chic, but they need to be changed periodically.
• The tablecloth should not reach the floor by 10 cm.
• Napkins are preferable to paper (it is more convenient to throw away, rather than fold with dirty dishes). They are laid out next to the plates in a stack or fan.
• The decor of the table should match the interior.
• The use of tall candelabra or small candlesticks with lighted candles is acceptable.

Menu in the hotel

The buffet serves more than just cold snacks. It is important that there is no cooked food that you need to cut off for yourself with a knife: all dishes are exclusively portioned. The hotel does not have any more restrictions on the buffet menu in the hotel. It consists of:

• snacks;
• first hot dishes;
• meat or fish hot;
• side dishes for fish and meat;
• drinks;
• desserts.

V different countries they use their food and drinks for the "sandwich" table. For example, the buffet menu in Turkish hotels offers the following:

The Spanish diet is somewhat different from the Turkish one. In hotels in Spain, chefs are ready to offer the following menu:

How to behave at the buffet

In almost all countries, it is suggested to drink fresh juice on an empty stomach before breakfast. The drink must be poured into a glass. The bread or bun is placed on a small dish, a pie plate. Everything is placed on the dining table in the following order: snack or main dish, on the left - a small dish with baked goods, in front of the main one - a glass of juice. Next, everything that is on the snack plate is eaten.

Buffet etiquette prohibits anyone wearing beachwear. The sequence of meals is as follows:

1. A couple of pieces of food are placed on the plate in the left hand. Better to do several approaches, rather than "fill up" the dishes with food. Different plates are used for different dishes.
2. To the left of the container with food, put a fork with the cloves up, a knife - on the right.
3. On dishes with food, the seasoning in the outlet is placed on the right, the seeds - in the upper left corner. Always use napkins.
4. When the meal is finished, the knife and fork are left on the plate.

If you need an additive, then with your dishes you need to go to the common table and put the desired dish. After using the sauces, replace the plate with a clean one. When the meal is over, the cutlery is placed parallel to each other, the knife with the blade inward, the dirty dishes are carried away by themselves or by the waiter. It is forbidden to take something out of the hall. It is allowed to take only one piece of fruit with you or go out with finished baked goods.
