A banquet usually serves a purpose such as a charitable gathering, a ceremony, or a celebration, and is often preceded or followed by speeches in honor of someone. In the majority of banquets, the gathering is seated at round tables with around 8-10 people per table. Overall, there is an archaeological debate of when feasting began. Archaeologist Brian Hayden argues that feasts were an important event because the surplus of food that resulted in feasts turned into social and political ties and a competition in order to display one's own wealth. During these feasts, luxury foods were offered to their guest. What these luxury goods were are still up to debate. However, Hayden argues that animal meat and rice are some of these luxury goods because they were domesticated despite their difficulty in doing so. The term banquet, however, termed from a different time period. The idea of banqueting is ancient (see Sellisternium, Belshazzar's Feast, and Mead halls). In the 16th century, a banquet was very different from our modern perception and stems from the medieval 'ceremony of the void'. After dinner, the guests would stand and drink sweet wine and spices while the table was cleared, or ‘voided’. (Later in the 17th century ‘void’ would be replaced with the French ‘dessert’.) During the 16th century, guests would no longer stand in the great chamber whilst the table was cleared and the room prepared for entertainment, but would retire to the parlour or banqueting room. As the idea of banqueting developed, it could take place at any time during the day and have much more in common with the later practice of taking tea. Banqueting rooms varied greatly from house to house, but were generally on an intimate scale, either in a garden room or inside such as the small banqueting turrets in Longleat House Managing banquets in the hospitality industry has become a cruicial execise in view of the fact that more and more people have stated organizing parties and gala dinners. Birthdays of children, marriage anniversaries, and so on, are now frequently organized in hotels and restaurants. The increase in the purchasing power of the middle class families has increased their visits to restaurants and hotels. The growth of multinational companies and the Brand India has increased the scope of power dinner, working lunch and et al. All these have led to the growth of the hospitality industry being more organized and efficient to the needs of the people. This book on the course "Banqueting Management", developed by Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University, deals with banqueting setting, which from the very beginning was a lavish meal presented in a different style with various dishes set out on a long table. Menus for banquet functions are predetermined; either the guest give a list of items to be served or the list is provided by the host to select menus from the list. Thus, guests could choice from breakfast selection, American breakfast set, international set menu suggestion, etc. Menu planning is not a simple exercise, but involves making a well-balanced diet is a basic requirement for a healthy meal. Buffets and flower arrangements, banquet procedures and tips on better buffet services are also discussed in the book. This book has been written in the self-learning format. Each of the five units begins with an ‘Introduction’, followed by the ‘Unit Objectives’ and then the details of the topic of each unit. Many images have been given to help the readers to illustrate some points. At the end of the unit is a ‘Summary’ and ‘Key Terms’ to help students recapitulate the contents. The ‘Check Your Progress’ and ‘Questions and Exercises’ sections in each unit will also help in better understanding the subject.

    Tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 03-11-09 12:04 Tea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tea is the agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the Camellia sinensis plant, prepared and cured by various methods. "Tea" also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water,[1] and is the common name for the Camellia sinensis plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world.[2] It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.[3] The four types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea,[4] all of which can be made from the same bushes, processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea grown differently. Pu-erh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often classified as amongst the most popular types of tea.[5] Green Tea leaves in a Chinese The term "herbal tea" usually refers to an infusion or tisane of gaiwan. leaves, flowers, fruit, herbs or other plant material that contains no Camellia sinensis.[6] The term "red tea" either refers to an infusion made from the South African rooibos plant, also containing no Camellia sinensis, or, in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages, refers to black tea.

In order to answer the following three questions “ whether the current tea culture phenomena can be called “tradition” or not; what are the changes in tea cultural tradition and what are the new features of the current trend of tea culture; what are the endogenous and exogenous factors which influenced the change in the tea drinking tradition”, I did literature research from ancient tea classics and historical documents to summarize the development history of Chinese tea culture, and used two month to do fieldwork on teahouses in Xi’an so that I could have a clear understanding on the current trend of tea culture. It is found that the current tea culture is inherited from tradition and changed with social development. Tea drinking traditions have become more and more popular with diverse forms.
