Food Taboo
At an informal meal, the table setting is not cluttered and all the flatware is laid on the table at one time. At the host's option the dessert utensils may be brought to the table on the dessert plate.
To avoid cutter, the general rule for a any table setting is to include no more than three utensils on either side of the dinner plate at a time. The exception is the oyster (or seafood) fork, which may be placed to the right of the last spoon even when it is the fourth utensil to the right of the plate. The initial table setting for a typical formal dinner should look something like this:
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is an international mutual aid movement which says its "primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety" founded in 1935 by Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith (Bill W. and Dr. Bob) in Akron, Ohio.
3.1.3 Fast Food with Global Menu
Donna O‘Meara
Do you want fries with thatJust what is ―that‖It depends on where you are in the world. Some of the most successful global businesses on the planet are fast food chains. Their key to success is tailoring menus to suit different tastes and cultures.
People around the world have very different preferences in food, and their diets are influenced by geography, local customs and religious restrictions. Some cultures avoid certain foods, or they will eat things you wouldn‘t. Fast food restaurants have embraced these differences. For example, McDonald‘s may not offer the same menu to Russian customers that it does to Japanese customers, but people in both countries receive a meal packaged in paper printed with the company‘s identifiable ―M‖.
Fast food companies conduct extensive research to tailor menus for regional differences. So, in the busy city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where people‘s diets are influenced by their Muslim beliefs, McDonald‘s serves up the McArabia burger. With grilled minced meat combined with onions and Arabian spices, the burger is based on a traditional
favorite Muslim dinner.
And what do hamburger restaurants serve in countries like Japan, where people prefer to eat fish, sushi, and riceIt‘s simple: they offer a hot fried shrimp burger with a side order of steamed rice instead of French fries.
Burger chains offer local favorites throughout Asia. Korean burgers are pork patties cooked in a traditional Korean barbecue garlic sauce. Taiwanese diners favor spicy chicken drumstick sandwiches, in line with their tastes for spicy food and dark meat. Thailand‘s favorite fast food is a spicy pork burger and a green tea pie dessert. Children in Spain order tapas, a lot of small bites of local food favorites, at their local burger restaurant.
Australia and New Zealand restaurants reflect local food preferences by adding egg, bacon, beet root, and cheese to burgers.
In India, cows are considered sacred and are never killed. Beef and pork are not eaten as this would be a serious offence to Hindu beliefs. Burger sellers faced a huge challenge in designing menus for Indians. A local Indian favorite is the Chicken McCurry Pan, a blend of tomato sauce, mixed with chicken, baked, and served on spiced bread and topped with dian fast food chains serve something that looks like a traditional Canadian dish consisting of French fries covered in cheese curds and gravy. The favorite in El Salvadoran burger chains, is filled with meat and cheese. Argentineans favor steak sandwiches based on a local herbed sauce.
Burger chains in the United States offer local favorites, too. In New Mexico, you can get peppers on your sandwich; breakfast burritos are served throughout the Southwest; and pineapple-topped burgers are offered in Hawaii.
Before chain restaurants opened in Russia, dining out was limited and not always a pleasant experience. Waiters were usually rude to many customers. So when more than 125 fast food burger restaurants opened across Russia, a record of 30,000 Russians rushed to the openings, lined up, and waited for hours to buy hamburgers and French fries, all because they were served happily with a smile and a thank-you. Russian people found this to be a delightful experience and made the Russian fast food hamburger business the fifth largest market in all of Europe.
The list of local favorites around the world is endless. One thing is for sure: People like to eat, and fast food restaurants are ready and willing to sell them anything they desire. So, if being a restaurant entrepreneur is your dream, you‘d better start planning your global menu now.
