Making healthy choices about what you eat and drink is a powerful way to help care for yourself. Food and drink give our bodies the fuel used to work properly, stay healthy, and fight disease. The right foods help you not only to live, but to live well. People often do not realize that their food choices affect the way they feel, both physically and emotionally. Choosing foods that nourish rather than harm your body may help prevent chronic conditions and the need for certain medications in the future. Food can also be used to help treat some health conditions. How much do the foods and drinks I consume really make a difference in my health? Each person’s body is different. -
Handout 6A: Food and Drink
G5 M1 Handout 6A • WIT & WISDOM™ Name: Date: Handout 6A: Food and Drink Directions: Read the following text. Then, reread the text and annotate three to five things you notice and three to five things you wonder about. From the Nez Perce National Historic Trail website Food and Drink Fish were an important food for Indian families. They were caught in many different ways. Some tribes made hand-knotted nets, both large and small. Some of the tribes in the Pacific Northwest still fish with large dipnets, from a platform built up above the edge of the riverbank. Others use a seine net (pronounced “sayn”) to catch many fish at once. Some tribes made a fish trap from sticks. Others built dams with rocks, dirt, and fallen trees; they would then scoop the fish from the water with baskets. The Nez Perce and other tribes picked and ate many kinds of wild berries—strawberries, blueberries, wild grapes, huckleberries, serviceberries, currants, cranberries, and many more. Researchers have found there were 36 different kinds of fruit that Indians dried to eat in the winter. They knew what the plants looked like, where they grew, and when they got ripe every year. Berries were carried home in baskets and eaten fresh, but they were also dried and saved for winter. Huckleberries and other berries—such as serviceberries and currants—were often used by the Nez Perce to make a staple food called pemmican. Meat is sliced very thin, then dried, and then pounded or ground with stones to a dry powder. Chopped dried berries are added to the powdered meat, and then melted fat (such as deer fat or buffalo fat) is mixed in. -

The Menu: Food and Beverage
C H A P T E R • • • • 5 The menu: Food and beverage Introduction The menu is the primary selling tool of any estab- lishment that offers food and beverage for sale. For the customer it identifi es the items that are available, shows prices and any other charges and together with other external features may characterize the style of food service offered. From the establishments per- spective the menu should meet the objectives of the marketing policy, the catering policy and the fi nancial policy. The marketing policy should guide the catering policy so that the products on offer and the style of operation best meet the needs of the target market. The catering policy is concerned with the size and style of menu to be offered together with an appropriate style of service and this will impact on space requirements, level and type of equipment purchased, and the level of skill and number of staff required. The fi nancial policy aims to achieve revenue and profi tability to budget through pricing, cost control and volume. Food and Beverage Management Chapter objectives After working through this chapter you should be able to: ● Understand the differences between a Table d ’ hôte and à la Carte menu. ● Understand the basics of menu planning and menu design. ● Have a knowledge of menu pricing models and applications. ● Understand different types of beverage menus. ● Understand the need for accuracy and honesty in menu descriptions. ● Have a basic understanding of licensing and merchandising.
