  • Usage Project Final Report – Dinner/Supper
    The University of British Columbia Usage Project Final Report - Dinner/Supper ENGL 321 Prof. Elise Stickles April 19 2020 Introduction: In contemporary North American society, people often grow up familiar with describing their meals for the day as breakfast, lunch, and dinner in chronological order. Breakfast makes for the morning meal, lunch describes the meal taken in the noontime or afternoon period, dinner is what we call our evening meals. However, if one examines the history of naming our meals, an interesting discrepancy emerges; the evening meal was not always known as “dinner”. According to the Guide to Canadian English Usage by Margery Fee and Janice MacAlpine (2011), the term “dinner” used to refer to a different meal eaten at a different time. Dinner was a large meal at noon for those working in heavy labor during the day, as its timing allowed for them to make use of the energy and nutrition effectively while burning off any excess. Instead of “dinner”, the term “supper” was used to denote the evening meal. Unlike the large portions and servings of the midday dinner meal, the evening supper was a light meal intended to curb any cravings and let one’s body settle down to relax before the night. Examining usage guides also yields that temperature matters in the usage of “dinner” and “supper”, as the former denotes a warmer, heavier meal while the latter denotes a colder, lighter meal. Nowadays, these meanings have changed as people’s lifestyles have developed and working hours have become more variable. We were interested in seeing how contemporary usage of both terms played out in usage across Canada as well as in America and Great Britain.

  • Appetizers and Hors D' Oeuvres
    Appetizers and Hors d’ Oeuvres “Preparing hors d’ oeuvres and appetizers uses skills from almost every section of the kitchen. Because they can consist of meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, vegetables, potatoes, grains, pasta, fruits, baked goods and sauces, they require a working knowledge of these foods and how they are prepared. ---Chef-Chef Todd Mohr Some commonly encountered hot hors d’ oeuvres: Filled Pastry Shells Savory (unsweetened) tartlets, choux puffs, or other small Guidelines for Preparing Hors d’ Oeuvres: dough products are most often baked to remove moisture content, then filled with warm meat, poultry, fish purees, They should be small, one to two bites or ragouts, garnished and served hot. They become soggy They should be flavorful and well seasoned, not overpowering quickly, so must be prepared as closely to service as They should be visually attractive possible. They should complement the foods to follow Brochettes / Skewers / Kabobs without duplicating flavors The secret to great hot hors d’ oeuvres is to let your imagination Hors d’ oeuvres brochettes are small skewers holding a be your guide, to keep the ingredients harmonious and, if the combination of meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or hors d’ oeuvres are to precede dinner, not to allow them to vegetables. They are normally baked, grilled or broiled duplicate the foods to be served or overpower them with and served with a dipping sauce. Soaking wooden excessively spicy flavors skewers in water before assembly can prevent them from burning. To provide a comprehensive list of hot hors d’ oeuvres would be virtually impossible, as this list would be limit-less.

  • A La Carte Dining in a Banquet Setting
    À la Carte Dining in a Banquet Setting: Is it Feasible? By Peter Szende and Ally Rung Winter 2018 By Peter Szende and Ally Rung For many decades, à la carte dining has been viewed as a completely separate service style only used in full-service restaurants, without a place in the traditional banquet–style setting typically seen in hotels and cruise ships. However, many contemporary ocean liners and hotels are changing that perspective. This calls for further investigation into the practices and technology the industry is beginning to adopt and exploration of how this translates into the customer experience. Cruise Dining When one thinks of dining options on cruises, a vision of large ballrooms with round tables arranged throughout two floors and servers moving between the floor and kitchen comes to mind. What most do not conceptualize is that dining in a large banquet setting among hundreds of other guests and being presented with a non-banquet style menu is quite a task for the staff. With this in mind, the question arises, how is this possible? How are these ballrooms and kitchens able to provide guests with a menu that allows for choice amongst a handful of appetizers, entrees, and desserts? One would think that with so many guests to feed, a menu with multiple items to choose from would be out of the question. Instead, the culinary geniuses on board these cruise ships have mastered the art of preparing hundreds of customized dishes for the hungry guests—true mastery of à la carte dining in a banquet setting.

    The Family Dinner Project Pandemic 2020: Virtual Dinner Party Guide THE FAMILY DINNER PROJECT Pandemic 2020: Virtual Dinner Party Guide .............................................................................................................. Welcome to the Pandemic 2020 Virtual Dinner Party Guide! In this time of Coronavirus, we’re missing our friends, family and “framily” (friends who feel like family). We can’t get together in person, even for a simple family dinner, with those who matter so much to us. But as the loneliness of social distancing and the anxiety of the crisis set in, getting together can feel more important than ever. So how can you manage to safely share a meal when you can’t be in the same place? Here is our step-by-step guide to connecting virtually over dinner during the pandemic or any time when you can’t get together in person. .............................................................................................................. 1 THE FAMILY DINNER PROJECT Pandemic 2020: Virtual Dinner Party Guide .............................................................................................................. Step 1: Decide How to Connect We recommend that you designate a host for the evening. That person should invite guests and make sure that each person is able to connect. There are lots of virtual platforms you could choose. Here’s a short list of options that we know have worked for various virtual dinner parties: Facebook or Instagram Chat Facebook or Instagram Chat • Pros: • Cons: • Free • Not accessible if guests don’t have Facebook or Instagram • Easy to access as long as accounts people are already Facebook or Instagram users • Doesn’t work well for groups of more than 5 or 6 people .............................................................................................................. 2 THE FAMILY DINNER PROJECT Pandemic 2020: Virtual Dinner Party Guide .............................................................................................................
