西餐文化系列五 西餐的上菜程序 李仪编译
西餐正餐正式的全套餐点上菜程序通常是：面包黄油（Bread & Butter）→前菜：包括开胃点心（Appetizers）、蔬菜色拉（Salads）、海鲜（Seafoods） →汤(Soups )→主菜(Entrees)→餐后甜点心(Desserts)→咖啡,茶和水果。相应的酒包括餐前酒（开胃酒）和餐酒。
面包黄油通常在客人落座后很快就上桌了，每个餐厅都有自己独到的东西 — 面包装在衬有餐巾的小筐里或大盘子里，外加一小盘造型灵巧的黄油。我曾经在普林斯顿的一家餐厅吃到全麦粉烤制的酸面包，搭配的黄油一颗颗做得像乳白色的仿古钮扣。听说这家餐厅因此有一些老顾客。而在埃文思维尔一家吃到了香喷喷热乎乎刚出炉的萱软奶油小面包，那黄油象一朵朵白色的小野菊。
前菜（这是我的翻译方式，一些资料里翻作冷菜或头盘菜）通常可细分为：开胃小菜（Appetizers）称为第一道菜（也叫头盘菜—the first course）。色拉（Salad）称为第二道菜（the second course）。上文提到开胃小菜的英文Appetizer是美式用法。英式用法是Entrée, 而英式用法中主菜用Main。汤(Soup )也是在主菜之前上桌的。汤分渍汤和奶油浓汤，渍汤是蔬菜为原料的清淡汤。浓汤放有肉类或海鲜，加奶油调制的很稠。辅菜、汤可同时就着面包吃。
主菜有鱼、猪肉、牛肉、羊肉、鸡肉等，是一个拼装盘，你点的主菜是一般搭配有蔬菜和主食。每道菜的配料都写在菜单里的。西餐上主菜盘子很大，菜量非常足。饭量小的人吃不完。
有一点要特别说明的是老外吃海鲜要用单独的餐具，在前菜中点海鲜，比如牡蛎（Oysters）要用专用的小叉子，如果点蟹虾等需要用手拿着吃的，要上洗手碗，吃完后要洗手。在海鲜餐厅和豪华餐厅海鲜作为一类主菜，菜单（Menu ）中专有海鲜主菜（Seafood Entrees）系列，记住吃鱼吃肉用不同的刀叉。
甜食常有冰淇淋(Ice Creams)、布丁(Pudding) 、派(Pies) 、奶酪蛋糕(Cheesecake)等。然后是咖啡或红茶。至于水果，可上可不上。
