Meal Service

Finally, you have come to the most enjoyable part of your meal management . . . "taste and see".

The foods that you will arrange on the table for the enjoyment of everyone can still be made more enticing through what is known as table setting.

Table Setting

A table setting creates a certain atmosphere that adds to the enjoyment of meals served. The flatware, dishes, liners and centerpiece are included in a table setting. They are known as table appointments.

An individual place setting is called a cover and would need width of 50-61 cm and a depth of approximately 30 1/2 to 40 1/2 cm. The area of a cover is also determined by site of the table or the placemat, if used. The flatware to be placed in a table setting is determined by the kinds of the service being used - formal or informal.

Sample table setting for breakfast, lunch and dinner were illustrated. Let us have a review of these settings again tomorrow.
