LISTENING & READING Text 1: Introduction to Food & Beverage Management F&B is widely accepted abbreviation for "Food and Beverage", which is the sector/industry that specializes in the conceptualization, the making of, and delivery of foods. The largest section of F&B employees are in restaurants and bars, including hotels, resorts, and casinos. Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, and/or stimulate growth. Beverage -from French “beverage” – a liquid for drink, one that is not water. Management – 1. the act or art of managing: the conducting or supervising of something (as a business); 2. judicious use of means to accomplish an end; 3. capacity for managing: executive skill; 4. the collective body of those who manage or direct an enterprise (Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary) Food sources: Plants&Animals. Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering, and agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry, which is operated by multinational corporations that use intensive farming and industrial agriculture to maximize system output. Many plants or plant parts are eaten as food. There are around 2,000 plant species which are cultivated for food, and many have several distinct cultivars. Seeds of plants are a good source of food for animals, including humans, because they contain the nutrients necessary for the plant's initial growth, including many healthy fats, such as Omega fats. In fact, the majority of food consumed by human beings are seedbased foods. Edible seeds include cereals (maize, wheat, rice, et cetera), legumes (beans, peas, lentils, et cetera), and nuts. Oilseeds 11
are often pressed to produce rich oils − sunflower, flaxseed, rapeseed (including canola oil), sesame, et cetera. Seeds are typically high in unsaturated fats and, in moderation, are considered a health food, although not all seeds are edible. Large seeds, such as those from a lemon, pose a choking hazard, while seeds from apples and cherries contain a poison (cyanide). Fruits are the ripened ovaries of plants, including the seeds within. Many plants have evolved fruits that are attractive as a food source to animals, so that animals will eat the fruits and excrete the seeds some distance away. Fruits, therefore, make up a significant part of the diets of most cultures. Some botanical fruits, such as tomatoes, pumpkins, and eggplants, are eaten as vegetables. For more information, see list of fruits and vegetables. Vegetables are a second type of plant matter that is commonly eaten as food. These include root vegetables (potatoes and carrots), leaf vegetables (spinach and lettuce), stem vegetables (bamboo shoots and asparagus), and inflorescence vegetables (globe artichokes and broccoli). Generally regarded as the most pleasant taste, sweetness is almost always caused by a type of simple sugar such as glucose or fructose, or disaccharides such as sucrose, a molecule combining glucose and fructose. Artificial sweeteners such as sucralose are used to mimic the sugar molecule, creating the sensation of sweet, without the calories. Other types of sugar include raw sugar, which is known for its amber color. As sugar is vital for energy and survival, the taste of sugar is pleasant. Herbs and spices. There are culinary herbs and spices. Specifically these are food or drink additives of mostly botanical origin used in nutritionally insignificant quantities for flavoring or coloring. For example, basil, bergamot, caraway, cayenne, cinnamon, coriander, ginger, horse radish, marjoram, parsley, peppercorn, sesame, and etc. Animals are used as food either directly or indirectly by the products they produce. Meat is an example of a direct product taken from an animal, which comes from muscle systems or from organs. Food products produced by animals include milk produced by 12
mammary glands, which in many cultures is drunk or processed into dairy products (cheese, butter, et cetera). In addition, birds and other animals lay eggs, which are often eaten, and bees produce honey, a reduced nectar from flowers, which is a popular sweetener in many cultures. Some cultures consume blood, sometimes in the form of blood sausage, as a thickener for sauces, or in a cured, salted form for times of food scarcity, and others use blood in stews such as civet. Some cultures and people do not consume meat or animal food products for cultural, dietary, health, ethical, or ideological reasons. Vegetarians do not consume meat. Vegans do not consume any foods that are or contain ingredients from an animal source. Seafood (fish). Fish is a food consumed by many species, including humans. The word "fish" refers to both the animal and to the food prepared from it. Fish has been an important source of protein for humans throughout recorded history. Health benefits are as follows. Research over the past few decades has shown that the nutrients and minerals in fish, and particularly the omega 3 fatty acids found in pelagic fishes, are heart-friendly and can make improvements in brain development and reproduction. The role for fish in the functionality of the human body is very big. Types of food: Comfort food - food that is enjoyable to eat and makes the eater feel better emotionally. Fast food- food that requires little preparation before being served or a restaurant, café, etc.) serving such food. Junk food- food that is low in nutritional value, often highly processed or ready-prepared, and eaten instead of or in addition to well-balanced meals – American cheese, hot dog , pizza, Coca-Cola and so on. Natural food - the importance of natural food to the maintenance of health. Organic food - Organic foods are foods that are produced using methods of organic farming – with limited modern synthetic inputs such as synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, though organic pesticides, such as Bt toxin, are still used. Organic foods are also not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives. Slow food - food that has been prepared with care, using high-quality local and seasonal ingredients. 13
READING & SPEAKING Text 1.1: Beverage A drink, or beverage, is a liquid which is specifically prepared for human consumption. In addition to fulfilling a basic human need, beverages form part of the culture of human society. Water: Despite the fact that all beverages contain water, water itself is not classed as a beverage. The word beverage has traditionally been defined as not referring to water. Types of beverages. Alcoholic beverages. An alcoholic beverage is a drink that contains ethanol, commonly known as alcohol (although in chemistry the definition of "alcohol" includes many other compounds). Beer has been a part of human culture for 8,000 years. In Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and many other European countries, drinking beer (and other alcoholic beverages) in a local bar or pub is a cultural tradition. Asian countries (e.g., Sri Lanka and India) produce several varieties of alcoholic beverages (e.g., palm wine). Alcoholic beverages are divided into three general classes: Beer; Wine; Spirits. Non-alcoholic beverages. A non-alcoholic beverage is one that contains little or no alcohol. This category includes low-alcohol beer, non-alcoholic wine, and apple cider if they contain less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. Soft drinks. The term "soft drink" specifies the absence of alcohol in contrast to "hard drink" and "drink". "Drink" is nominally neutral but often connotes alcoholic content. Beverages such as soda pop, sparkling water, iced tea, lemonade, squash, and fruit punch are the most common soft drinks. Milk, hot chocolate, tea, coffee, milkshakes, and tap water are not considered to be soft drinks. Some carbonated soft drinks are available in versions that are sweetened with a sugar. Fruit juice. Fruit juice is a natural product that contains few additives, or none. Citrus products such as orange juice and tangerine juice are very familiar breakfast beverages. Grapefruit juice, pineapple, apple, grape, lime, and lemon juice are also familiar products. Coconut water is a highly nutritious and refreshing juice. 14
Many kinds of berries are crushed and their juices mixed with water and sometimes sweetened. Raspberry, blackberry and currants are often popular juices drinks but the percentage of water also determines their nutritive value. Juices were probably human kind's earliest drinks besides water. Grape juice that was allowed to ferment produced the alcoholic drink wine. Hot beverages. A hot beverage is any beverage which is normally served heated. This may be through the addition of a heated liquid, such as water or milk, or by directly heating the beverage itself. Some examples of hot beverages are: Coffee-based beverages; Café au lait- coffee with milk; Cappuccino; Coffee; Espresso; Frappé- a drink consisting of a liqueur, etc., poured over crushed ice; Flavored coffees; Latte − coffee made with hot milk; Hot chocolate; Horlicks − from Horlicks, a drink meant to induce sleep; Hot cider; Mulled cider; Glühwein; Tea-based beverages; Flavored teas (chai, etc.); Green tea; Pearl milk tea; Tea; Herbal teas; Yerba Mate; Roasted grain beverages; Sanka. Miscellaneous. Some substances may be called either food or drink, and accordingly may be eaten with a spoon or drunk, depending upon their thickness and solutes. They are: buttermilk, soup, yogurt, kefir, etc. For more information, see: Food http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food Genetically modified foods http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food Drink or Beverage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drink Alcoholic Beverages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_beverage

LISTENING & READING Text 2: A career in hospitality The hospitality industry is about people. It’s about how they spend their time and the sort of experiences they are looking for. They could be in a holiday resort or their local pub, at a business conference, a charity fundraising dinner or an international sporting event. Whatever the situation, today’s hospitality manager is shaping the whole experience. This is a well-established course of study designed to develop the wide range of skills and knowledge necessary for a successful career in this dynamic and varied industry. The hospitality industry employs millions of people. It is an exciting industry to work in and recent research by the Hotel Catering and International Management Association showed that 93% of employees were happy in their jobs. The career opportunities are extensive and vary across industry sectors. These include; hotels, pubs, clubs and bars, restaurants, cruise liners, contract catering, retail outlets, fast food restaurants and many more. Within each of these sectors graduates can work in the traditional and exciting operational departments of accommodation and food and beverage or move into supporting departments such as marketing, human resources and finance. The practical experience gives students considerable advantages. A wide variety of placement opportunities is available ranging from high-street catering, hotels and licensed retail establishments through to leisure centers, theme parks and large scale event management. Food and Beverage Manager - Skills & Knowledge. Food and beverage managers need to have: good understanding of current 22
licensing and employment laws; knowledge of food hygiene and health and safety regulations; knowledge of sales and marketing techniques; customer service skills; strong leadership and team management skills; excellent communication skills; good organizational and problem-solving skills; good time management; skill in financial planning; computer skills. Food and Beverage Manager: Personal requirements. Good manager is as important as good cooks. The managers are in direct contact with the employers and customers. Good managers like to work with people and make them happy. They must have good manners. Good managers must be friendly and have to give good and kind service to the customers. The appearance of the managers is very important. Managers work with food and serve customers and they must be neat and clean at all times. Their uniforms must be сlеаn and pressed. Their hair must be short or tied back. Their nails must be clean and tidy. Shoes must be clean and comfortable. Good waiters must have a spare shirt in case the first gets dirty. A food and beverage manager conducts many major tasks in a hotel, on a cruise ship or other establishment that serves meals and drinks. The F&B manager's duties encompass office obligations, including checking budgets, payroll and food order invoices from suppliers.

LISTENING & READING Text 2.1: Is restaurant management on your career menu? Whenever Jerry Westrom interviews a potential management candidate, he talks about all the negatives surrounding the position before going into greater detail about the positives. "I need to know their heart is in it, that they are truly committed," says Westrom, who owns an Ember's Restaurant in Cambridge, Minnesota. "If they seem skeptical about anything, I don't know if they will make it." What Are the Negatives? "Being a restaurant manager is a lifestyle, not a job," says Westrom. "If managers are going to succeed, they will put in 50 to 80 hours per week with high stress levels at times. But once you get everything going, it can be a fun career with very good pay." Westrom suggests potential candidates consider the following: What type of restaurant business are you going into? There is a big difference between fine dining, family style, fast food and a sports bar or restaurant atmosphere. These restaurants attract different employees. A fine dining establishment might draw more experienced, mature employees, while a fast food restaurant or sports bar might interest younger ones. Do you want to be a floor manager, a back-of-the-house manager or a general manager? Each of these positions requires different skills. When pursuing jobs, ask potential employers how long they have been in business, where they see the business growing, what opportunities exist for advancement and what type of managertraining programs they have. "If someone wants a career in this field, try getting in with a franchise for training and a stable income," advises Westrom. "After three to five years, you can look at a privately held restaurant where 24
you can go in as a general manager and demand a pay of $60,000plus for your expertise or partnership." The Positives. Jill Nelsen has worked as a restaurant manager in California and Minnesota and has more than 10 years of experience managing fast food restaurants, such as Taco Bell and Rax Roast Beef. "Restaurant management is great if you like a lot of variety in what you do, like to work really hard and enjoy working with people," she says. "It is a fairly easy field to break into without investing in an education; however you can move up faster and not start at the very bottom if you do have an education." Nelsen says the upside to restaurant management lies in the opportunity to advance quickly, the challenge and the chance to acquire an array of management skills. "I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with young people," she adds: "For many of them, it was their first job, and it was exciting to teach them the value of work and a strong ethic and to watch them grow into adults. Often, working in a restaurant can be like working with a big family." Nelsen suggests asking yourself these 10 questions to help you decide if this is the career for you: 1. Do I like to work with many different types of people, both as coworkers and as customers? 2. Will I mind working all hours of the day and night? 3. Do I like to motivate people to do their best? 4. Will I enjoy the pressures of making a budget, staffing the restaurant and managing daily operations? 5. Will I mind people calling me with questions on my time off? 6. What do I picture for the future, my family and how we spend our time? Do a restaurant manager's hours fit into this vision? 7. Am I highly motivated? 8. Do I like to work hard? 9. Do I like to reach daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals? 10.What does this career offer that others do not? "One last but not least thing to remember about a career in restaurant' management is that with all the training and experience you get, you can move to many different industries and careers," says 25

The counters with snacks and dishes, and snack-plates and trays for taking food are placed in the centre of the dining hall. The tables are near the walls. The guests come up to the Swedish Board and put the meals, appetizers and salads on the snack-plates themselves. Then they put everything on the trays and take their seats at the tables. The assortment of appetizers, dishes and beverages is usually rich. The guests can taste a little of each dish. Desserts are usually placed on a separate table. The waiter's role is to clear the tables and serve drinks. The waiters can also help the guests if necessary. Cafeteria service. In cafeteria service the guests collect their plates with dishes on a tray as they move along the counter. At the end of the counter there is a cash desk. There the customers pay for the dishes they have chosen. This kind of service is usually used in; cafeterias, snack bars and canteens. This is the simplest form of service in the restaurants.

LISTENING & READING Тext 4.1: Food service The range of food service found in hotels and restaurants today is extensive. Table service is food service served to the customer's table by waiters and waitressess, also known as "servers". Table service is the norm in most restaurants, while for some fast food restaurants counter service is the common form. For pubs and bars, table service is the norm in the United States whereas counter service is the norm in the United Kingdom. With table service, the customer generally pays at the end of meal. Various methods of table service can be provided. There are, for instance, gueridon silver, plate and sejfservice service. In the first category, there are restaurants offering the highest grade of service with a full a la carte menu. This includes dishes 51
served by the waiter from a trolley in the dining room, and is known as gueridon service. The gueridon waiter must always be skilled, for he has to carry out procedures such as filleting (нарезка филе), carving, and cooking specialty dishes at the table. Gueridon service is a form of food service provided by restaurants to their guests. This type of service encompasses preparing food (primarily salads, main dishes such as beef stroganoff, or desserts) in direct view of the guests, using a "Gueridon". A gueridon typically consists of a trolley that is well equipped to prepare, cook and serve the food to the guest. There will be a gas hob, chopping board, cutlery drawer, cold store (depending on the trolley type) and general working area. A second, less complicated, type of service is silver service where the menu can be either a la carte or table d'hote. In this system, the food is prepared in the kitchen and then put on to silver flats and presented to the guests in the dining room. A third form of table service, used mainly with a table d'hote menu, is plate service. Hеrе, the waiter receives the meal already plated from the service hotplate and only has to place it in front of the guest and make sure that the correct cover is laid and the necessary accompaniments are on the table. Plate service is often offered where there is a rapid turnover and speedy service is necessary. It also demands less equipment for the service of the meal and is, therefore, labour-saving in such tasks as washing-up. In a fourth type of service, called self-service, a customer collects a tray from the service counter, chooses his dishes and selects the appropriate cutlery for the meal. Counter service is a form of service in restaurants, pubs, and bars where food or drinks are ordered at the counter. Counter service is also called "bar service" in the case of pubs and bars where the counter is also called the bar. Counter service is compared with table service where service is provided at the table. With counter service, the customer generally pays before consuming the food or drink. Some fast food restaurants offer only counter service while table service is the common form in most restaurants. For pubs and bars, bar service is the norm in the United Kingdom and the Republic of 52
Ireland whereas table service is the norm in the United States and Continental Europe. Today, with ever-increasing needs for economy, many establishments usually prefer a variety of types of service. Tourist hotels, for example, frequently offer a combination of self-service and plate service for breakfast and another combination of selfservice and silver service for luncheon. How to lay a cover. When you lay a cover you need the following cutlery and tableware: main knife and fork; fish knife and fork; soup spoon; side plate; side knife; glassware; napkin. Rules of setting a table: Put the cutlery, crockery and glasses on the table before the guests come; Wipe and polish all cutlery and glassware before you put them on the tables; Put the main knife arid fork 1cm from the edge of the table; Put the side plates at the left side; Put the side knives on the side plate; The blades of all knives must face left; Put the wine glasses in front of the main knife; Put a folded napkin in the centre of the side plate or at the right side of the cutlery; A vase for flowers, cruets-sets and an ashtray are in the center of the table. Special terms: Many terms related to restaurant business and meals are of French origin! There are some of them: 1. a la carte menu, фр. − ресторанное меню с указанием цены каждого блюда 2. gueridon service, фр. − обслуживание у столика; приготовление блюд непосредственно на виду у посетителей 3. gueridon, фр. − круглый столик на одной ножке 4. table d'hote, фр. − общий обеденный (хозяйский) стол; табльдот; комплексный обед 5. hors-d'oeuvre, фр. − закуска; добавочное блюдо 6. tips − чаевые (сокращ.«to insure promptness») 53

LISTENING & READING Text 5: Organizational structure of restaurant Restaurants have very specific staffing needs, and their organizational structure must be in line with those needs to function well. The size of the restaurant usually determines the ultimate structure, restaurants typically have the same basic framework, regardless of their size. The structure is designed to implement a
65
system of responsibility and accountability, with a clear chain of command. Owner
General manager
Back of house
Front of house
Ownership. Independent restaurants commonly have either a single owner, an owner and several investors or a small group of people who share ownership. Medium and large chain restaurants are normally either structured as corporations or are owned outright by a larger parent company. Owners are responsible for the business finances, but often hire accountants to take care of the books. They are also the ultimate decision makers and are accountable for the general direction of the business. Although they do not need to be involved in the day-to-day operation of the restaurant, owners of smaller independent establishments often take on an active role in the restaurant’s operations. General Manager. The general manager is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the business, including hiring, training and overseeing the staff, making sure that the restaurant is maintained in proper operating condition and ensuring that things run smoothly when the restaurant is open. They also are responsible for totaling up the daily receipts, making sure that the restaurant adheres to all legal requirements and communicating with the restaurant owner. In medium to large establishments, general managers often have assistant managers to help them; the owner or executive chef often plays the general manager’s role in smaller operations. Front of House. At the operations level, restaurant duties fall into one of two areas: front of house and back of house. The front-ofhouse staff is responsible for the restaurant’s dining area, including
66
setting up service, waiting on customers and interacting with the kitchen staff. If the restaurant serves alcohol, they are also responsible for the beverages and bar area. Smaller establishments may have a single food and beverage manager who takes care of both areas, but larger establishments, or those who serve a large amount of alcohol, typically split the managerial duties between bar manager and food manager. Both of these positions report to the restaurant’s general manager. Any banquet or catering operations also fall into this area of responsibility. Back of house. The executive or head chef is responsible for back-of-house operations. This includes hiring and training kitchen staff, creating menu items, sourcing and purchasing foods and helping determine the prices the restaurant should place on its meals. Depending on the size of the restaurant, he may report to the food and beverage manager, the general manager or to the owner directly. LISTENING & READING Listen and read the following text. Retell the text as close to the original as possible. Text 5.1: Table manners: A list of do's and don'ts 1. Never stretch over the table for something you want, ask your neighbour to pass it. 2. Take a slice of bread from the bread-plate by hand, don't harpoon your bread with a fork. 3. Do not bite into the whole slice, break it off piece by piece. 4. Never spoil your neighbour's appetite by criticizing what he just happens to be eating or by telling stories which are not conducive to good digestion. 5. Chicken requires special handling. First cut as much as you can, and when you can't use knife and fork any longer, use your fingers 6. Never read while eating (at least in company) 7. When a dish is placed before you do not eye it suspiciously as though it were the first time you had seen it, and do not give the 67
impression that you are about to sniff it. No matter how surprised you are. 8. Don't use a knife for fish, cutlets or omelettes. 9. The customary way to refuse a dish is by saying, "No, thank you" (or to accept, "Yes, please" or "With pleasure"). Don't say "I don't eat that stuff," don't make faces or noises to show that you don't like it. 10. In between courses don't make bread-balls to while the time away and do not play with the silver. 11. Don't lick your spoon. If you really feel that way about it ask for a second helping. 12. Sit facing the table, don't sit sideways. Keep your feet under you, don't stretch them all the way under the table. 13. After stirring your tea remove the spoon, and place it on the saucer. 14. Don’t use a spoon for what can be eaten with a fork. The forks are placed at the side of the dish in the order in which they are to be used (salad fork* fish fork, meat fork, etc.). 15. When eating stewed fruit use your spoon to put the stones on your saucer. 16. Don't eat off the knife. 17. When you are being served, don't pick. 18. Vegetables, potatoes, macaroni are placed on your fork with the help of your knife. 19. Cut your meat into small pieces that can be chewed with ease. Cut off one piece at a time. 20. If your food is too hot don't blow on it. 21. Your spoon, knife and fork are meant to eat with, they are not drumsticks 22. Try to make as little noise as possible when eating. 23. Don't sip your soup as though you wanted the whole house to hear. 24. Don't shovel food into your mouth. Take small pieces. 25. Don't talk with your mouth full. First chew and then swallow. 26. Don't put your elbows on the table. 27. Don't pick your teeth in company after the meal even if toothpicks are provided for the purpose. 28. And, finally, don't forget to say "thank you" for every favor or kindness. 68
READING & SPEAKING Text 5.2: At the restaurant In all large English towns there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, tea rooms and inns, or public houses. All the large hotels have dining-rooms or restaurants. Each little party of guests has; its own table. Some people dance during the meal, others don't. One of the waiters is standing near the buffet, where there are cold dishes of various kinds; another is carrying a tray with a bottle of wine and two wine glasses on it. He will put the bottle of wine into the icebucket to keep it cool. With the exception of breakfast, meals in England are much the same as in other countries. Most people have lunch about one o'clock and dinner about half-past seven, or later. I expect you have heard about the English breakfast, with its porridge, bacon and eggs, and marmalade. In the afternoon, about four o'clock or half past four, nearly everybody has a cup of tea and a cake, or a slice or two of bread and butter. The two substantial meals of the day, lunch and dinner, are both more or less the same. You can have soup, fish, a joint, and vegetables, sweets, cheese and so on. At most places there are a fairly large choice and you can order whatever you like best. TEXT WORK 5. 2 1. Read and translate the text. Try to retell it. 2. Give a summary of the text. 3.

In the middle of the table there was a dish with white and brown bread, a cruet-set with a salt-cellar and pots for pepper and mustard. We decided to begin with some kind of appetizer or horsd'oeuvre. My friend ordered dear chicken soup with noodles and I chose cabbage soup with small meat pies.

Метрдотель определяет стол для каждого заказа и инструктирует официантов. Метрдотель (или бригадир официантов) встречает гостей у входа, провожает их до столика, рассаживает, подает меню, присылает официанта. Метрдотель распределяет работу между официантами, проверяет их внешний вид, наличие необходимого оборудования (подносы, посуду, салфетки и т.п.), набор на столах, 72
чистоту посуды и скатертей, исправность мебели, ковров, освещения. Он же принимает жалобы клиентов (некачественные еда и напитки заменяются бесплатно). Основная должность в ресторане − официант (Waiter, Server). В Европе это довольно уважаемая профессия: чтобы стать официантом, нужно учиться не менее двух лет, требуется знание иностранного языка и др. Однако, например, в США официант по престижности находится всего лишь на 80 месте (из 90 наименований профессий). На рисунке представлена типовая организационная структура ресторана (возможно, при гостинице). В больших ресторанах несколько официантов подчиняются бригадиру (Captain), который руководит ими, принимает заказы у клиента и рассчитывается с ними. Функции официантов зависят от типа ресторанного обслуживания, однако, можно выделить некоторые общие для всех видов сервиса операции. Рабочее место официанта − стойка (sideboard), в ящиках которой хранятся столовые приборы, скатерти, салфетки, меню, спички и т.д. Официант принимает и проверяет скатерти и приборы, а также закрепленные за ним столы, прежде всего, чтобы они не качались. Официант cтелит скатерти, под которые кладется специальная мягкая прокладка для звукопоглощения. Углы скатерти должны находиться на высоте более 10 см от пола и ниже 25 см от края стола. Официант протирает и раскладывает на столе посуду, приборы, бокалы, салфетки. Бокалы, по санитарной норме, нужно ставить вверх дном и переворачивать в рабочее положение непосредственно перед обслуживанием клиентов. При этом бокалы берутся за ножки, а все предметы за ручки. Официант непосредственно обслуживает клиентов (принимает заказ, приносит заказанные блюда и напитки, режет, раскладывает, украшает, открывает бутылки, наливает, убирает грязную посуду, рассчитывает клиента). Мастерство официанта предполагает виртуозное владение ложкой и вилкой (в одной руке) при раскладывании пищи, умение носить на одной руке три тарелки с едой, подносы, разделать рыбу и т.д. В большинстве стран чистую посуду ставят слева от гостя, еду на тарелки кладут слева, напитки (включая кофе) наливают справа, грязную посуду убирают справа. Стандартная экипировка официанта включает в себя профессиональный штопор (на котором также имеется ножичек для срезания фольги, совмещенный с открывалкой для бутылок с водой и пивом), авторучку, зажигалку (спички), по-лотенце (салфетку). 73
К низшей должности в ресторане относятся помощники официантов (Bus people), в обязанности которых входит накрывать столы, убирать грязную посуду и помещение.

LISTENING & READING Text 6: The menu The word "menu," like much of the terminology of cuisine, is French in origin. It ultimately derives from Latin "minutus," something made small; in French it came to be applied to a detailed list or résumé of any kind. The original menus that offered consumers choices were prepared on a small chalkboard, in French a carte; so foods chosen from a bill of fare are described as "à la carte," "according to the board." In a restaurant, a menu is a presentation of food and beverage offerings. A menu may be a la carte – which guests use to choose from a list of options – or table d'hôte, in which case a pre-established sequence of courses is served. Origin of Menu. In 1541, Duke Henry of Brunswick referred to a long paper during a banquet. He claimed that it was a program of dishes, which enabled him to save his appetite for those that followed. The menu or bill of fare thus originated. Initially, it was very large and was placed at the end of the table for the guests’ reference. With the passage of time, menus became smaller and allowed for a number of copies per table. The advancement of hotel and catering industry makes menu compilation the most important part of a caterer’s work. In fact, compiling a menu is regarded as an art acquired through study and experience. It provides a link between the establishment and the customer, in part determining the volume of turnover. Hence, it should be compiled by a number of people in liaison with one another. Like the chef, the F&B manager and the restaurant manager. The waiting staff interprets and sells the menu rather than compose it. The aim of menu compilation is to give a customer what he wants. Customer satisfaction is most important, thanks to increased competition. Traditional cookery methods and types form a foundation on which menus can be based. But as fashion in food changes, customers tend to look for some thing different. Factors 79
such as health and hygiene, exotic foods, the prominence of aesthetics, among others play an important role in designing a menu. Nouvelle cuisine represents this modern trend of food combination with lighter styles of preparation and accents on creativity, presentation, simplicity and with new features on many menus. The terms of a menu should be expressed accurately, providing an appropriate and detailed description of quality, size, preparation and composition of dishes. A menu is basically designed to inform customers about dishes available, their respective prices and how they are prepared. It highlights the skill of the chef and the waiter and act as an advertising agent or a silent salesman. History of menu. The first restaurant menus arose roughly one millennium ago, during the Song Dynasty in China − the only region of the world at the time where paper was abundant. At this time, many merchants often congregated together in city centers and had little time or energy to eat during the evening. Because of the large variation found in Chinese cuisine from different regions, the restaurants could no longer cater to the local palates, giving rise to the menu. In Europe, the contemporary menu first appeared in the second half of the eighteenth century. Here, instead of eating what was being served from a common table, restaurants allowed diners to choose from a list of unseen dishes, which were produced to order according to the customer's selection. A table d'hôte establishment charged its customers a fixed price; the menu allowed customers to spend as much or as little money as they chose. The original European restaurants did not have menus in the modern sense; these table d'hôte establishments served dishes that were chosen by the chef or proprietors, and those who arrived ate what the house was serving that day, as in contemporary banquets or buffets. In Europe, the contemporary menu first appeared in the second half of the eighteenth century. Here, instead of eating what was being served from a common table, restaurants allowed diners to choose from a list of unseen dishes, which were produced to order 80
according to the customer's selection. A table d'hôte establishment charged its customers a fixed price; the menu allowed customers to spend as much or as little money as they chose. Originally, the first outlets of menu were hand-made. They were drawn by famous painters, for example, in France. As early as the mid-20th century, some restaurants have relied on “menu specialists” to design and print their menus. Prior to the emergence of digital printing, these niche printing companies printed full-color menus on offset presses. With the advent of digital presses made by such companies as Canon, Kodak, Ricoh and Xerox, it became practical in the 1990s to print full-color menus affordably in short press runs, sometimes as few at 25 menus. Because of limits on sheet size, typically no greater than 13 x 19 inches (33 x 48 cm), larger laminated menus were impractical for single-location independent restaurants, and more restaurants began using menu covers to hold multiple sheets. The use of covers also makes it possible to update one or more pages of the menu without discarding the entire product. To avoid having to reprint the menus throughout the year as prices changed, some restaurants began to display their menus on chalkboards, with the menu items and prices written in chalk. This way, the restaurant could easily modify the prices without going to the expense of reprinting the paper menus. A similar tactic continued to be used in the 2000s with certain items that are sensitive to changing supply, fuel costs, and so on: the use of the term "market price" or "Please ask server" instead of stating the price. This allows restaurants to modify the price of lobster, fresh fish, and other items on a daily basis. READING & SPEAKING Text 6.1: The structure of menu The word menu means that the dishes served in this restaurant. The list of dishes and vines. It is usually printed in the form of a card 81
and each guest receives a copy of the menu. In popular restaurants there are one or two big menus on blackboards. The classical French menu has more than twelve courses. Modern menus usually have: appetizers or snacks, soups, entrees, main courses, desserts. Many restaurants call the first three courses "starters". Appetizers can be hors-d'oeuvres, pates, or natural oysters. These dishes are usually cold. They stimulate the appetite and are served at the beginning of the meal. Soups may be thick potage or thin consomme. Soups are usually served hot, but can be served cold. The entree in the classical French menu is a course served between the fish and the main meat courses. In the modern menu it can be seafood dishes salads, small fried sausages or fish. The main course is the most substantial course of the meal. Guests usually choose their main courses first and then select other courses. When chefs design menus, they usually start with the main course and then plan the other courses. Dessert is the sweet course at the end of a meal or before coffee. In Britain it can be fruit and nuts, or a pudding.. Coffee can be served with chocolates, biscuits or fruits. Typically, the menu includes from six to eight cold dishes, from two to four types of soup, number of salads (such as snacks), as well as a side dish to roast, from eight to sixteen types of roast (entree), from four to six types of dessert. Types of menu. Most menus consist of courses, or parts of the dinner, which are served in a certain order. First small, light dishes (appetizers) are served, then the main part of the meal is served and at the end of a meal a dessert is served. There are basic and extratypes of menu. There are four basic types of menus: a la carte menu, table d'hote menu, carte du jour, cycle menu. Type menu depends on the types of restaurant. A la carte menu. A la carte means dishes «according to the card». This menu allows the customer to choose the number and type of dishes. This menu has a list of all the dishes, arranged in courses and each dish has its price. The dishes are «cooked to 82
order», so the guests must wait a little until the dish is ready, and then the dish is served to the guests. Table d'hote menu. Table d'hote means «hosts table». It usually offers a limited choice of dishes. Three or four dishes are offered in each course and the guest pays a fixed price for the whole meal. In «business lunch», for example, there are only three or four dishes in each course and the guest pays a fixed price for the whole meal. Carte du jour menu. Carte du jour means «card of the day». The dishes in this menu are served on this day only. Cycle menu. A cycle menu is a group of menus, which are repeated in a certain cycle. Cycle menus are usually used in hospitals, on airlines and in works canteens. The dishes in the main course are new every day. Extra-types of menu. Tourist menu, California menu, Prix Fixe Menu, Tasting menu. Tourist menu is compiled for attraction the attention of tourists, emphasizing more affordable and nutritious qualities. California menu: in some California restaurants can order any dishes at any time of day. Prix Fixe Menu: a specific number of dishes on constant price, usually with no choice. Tasting menu : small portions of different dishes on the choice of chefs, often served with wines that are suitable for them, and are in addition to the main meal consisting of several courses . Finally, let's answer two questions. What is Menu? What is Menu Card? A list of items served by a particular a food and beverage outlet is called as menu. A menu represents the range of food and beverage items offered in a restaurant. When the menu is represented on a card, it is referred to as the Menu Card. TEXT WORK 6 - 6. 1 1.

LISTENING & READING Text 6.2: Types of menu as presentation Paper. Menus vary in length and detail depending on the type of restaurant. The simplest hand-held menus are printed on a single sheet of paper, though menus with multiple pages or "views" are common. In some cafeteria-style restaurants and chain restaurants, a single-page menu may double as a disposable placemat. To protect a menu from spills and wear, it may be protected by heat-sealed vinyl page protectors, laminating or menu covers. Restaurants weigh their positioning in the marketplace (e.g. fine dining, fast food, informal) in deciding which style of menu to use. While some restaurants may use a single menu as the sole way of communicating information about menu items to customers, in other cases, the meal menu is supplemented with ancillary menus, such as: An appetizer menu (nachos, chips and salsa, vegetables and dip, etc.): A wine list; A liquor and mixed drinks menu; A beer list; A dessert menu (which may also include a list of tea and coffee options). Some restaurants use only text in their menus. In other cases, restaurants include illustrations and photos, either of the dishes or of an element of the culture which is associated with the restaurant. An example of the latter is in cases where a Lebanese kebab restaurant decorates its menu with photos of Lebanese mountains and beaches. Particularly with the ancillary menu types, the menu may be provided in alternative formats, because these menus (other than wine lists) tend to be much shorter than food menus. For example, an appetizer menu or a dessert menu may be displayed on a folded paper table tent, a hard plastic table stand, a flipchart style wooden "table stand," or even, in the case of a pizza restaurant with a limited wine selection, a wine list glued to an empty bottle. Menu board. Some restaurants – typically fast-food restaurants and cafeteria-style establishments – provide their menu in a large poster or display board format up high on the wall or above the service counter. This way, all of the patrons can see all of the choices, and the restaurant does not have to provide printed menus. This large format menu may also be set up outside (see the next 85
section). The simplest large format menu boards have the menu printed or painted on a large flat board. More expensive large format menu boards include boards that have a metal housing, a translucent surface, and a backlight (which facilitates the reading of the menu in low light), and boards that have removable numbers for the prices. This enables the restaurant to change prices without having to have the board reprinted or repainted. Some restaurants such as cafes and small eateries use a large chalkboard to display the entire menu. The advantage of using a chalkboard is that the menu items and prices can be changed; the downside is that the chalk may be hard to read in lower light or glare, and the restaurant has to have a staff member who has attractive, clear handwriting. A high-tech successor to the chalkboard menu is the 'write-on wipe-off" illuminated sign, using LED technology. The text appears in a vibrant color against a black background. Outdoor. Some restaurants provide a copy of their menu outside the restaurant. Fast-food restau rants that have a drive-through or walk-up window will often put the entire menu on a board, lit-up sign, or poster outside, so that patrons can select their meal choices. High-end restaurants may also provide a copy of their menu outside the restaurant, with the pages of the menu placed in a lit-up glass display case; this way, prospective patrons can see if the menu choice is to their liking. As well, some mid-level and high-end restaurants may provide a partial indication of their menu listings– the "specials"–on a chalkboard displayed outside the restaurant. The chalkboard will typically provide a list of seasonal items or dishes that are the specialty of the chef which are only available for a few days. Digital displays. With the invention of LCD and Plasma displays, some menus have moved from a static printed model, to one which can change dynamically. By using a flat LCD screen and a computer server, menus can be digitally displayed allowing moving images, animated effects and the ability to edit details and prices. For fast food restaurants, a benefit is the ability to update prices and menu items as frequently as needed, across an entire chain. Digital menu boards also allow restaurant owners to control the day parting of their menus, converting from a breakfast menu in the late morning. 86
Some platforms support the ability allow local operators to control their own pricing while the design aesthetic is controlled by the corporate entity. Various software tools and hardware developments have been created for the specific purpose of managing a digital menu board system. Digital menu screens can also alternate between displaying the full menu and showing video commercials to promote specific dishes or menu items. Interactive digital menu. Interactive menus, also known as electronic menus - one of the innovations in restaurant menus. This is an electronic computer system that allows customers to self-treat, choose and order food and drinks from the restaurant offered through computers, tablets or monitors placed on the tables or next to them. Тoday's interactive menu customers can make real-time automatic order, check your current account, purchasing additional meals or beverages other interactive systems completely eliminated the need for waiters, the system performs all of its functions. Such interactive electronic menu system significantly increase the speed of service, allowing customers to select and order, without waiting for the waiter's attention. Online menu. Websites featuring online restaurant menus have been on the Internet for nearly a decade. In recent years, however, more and more restaurants outside of large metropolitan areas have been able to feature their menus online as a result of this trend. Several restaurant-owned and startup online food ordering websites already included menus on their websites, yet due to the limitations of which restaurants could handle online orders, many restaurants were left invisible to the Internet aside from an address listing. Multiple companies came up with the idea of posting menus online simultaneously, and it is difficult to ascertain who was first. Menus and online food ordering have been available online since at least 1997. Since 1997, hundreds of online restaurant menu web sites have appeared on the Internet. Some sites are city-specific, some list by region, state or province. There are some specific types of menus: Hospital menus, Kids' menu, Railroad menus, Fast food menus, Airline meal, Military rations, Wine list, University menus, Religious menus, and etc. Objectives of Menu Planning. Customer Satisfaction; Serve as per the customer requirements. Healthy Foods offering nutritive, 87
hygienic, and healthy food; Consideration of all age of people; Food should be providing for all groups like children, young, old; Offer of choices; Give example choices so gets variety as well as satisfaction; Proper utilization of man power, machine, equipments; Sample use of seasonal food and vegetables; Customer preferences should be taken care; Choice and demand of local people can be included in menu. The menu as a form of advertizing. The main categories within a typical menu in the US are "appetizers," "side orders and a la carte," "entrées," "desserts" and "beverages." Sides and a la carte may include such items as soups, salads and dips. There may be special age-restricted sections for "seniors" or for children, presenting smaller portions at lower prices. Any of these sections may be pulled out as a separate menu, such as desserts and/or beverages, or a wine list. Children's menus may also be presented as placemats with games and puzzles to help keep children entertained. Menus can provide other useful information to diners. Some menus describe the chef's or proprietor's food philosophy, the chef's resume, or the mission statement of the restaurant. Menus often present a restaurant's policies about ID checks for alcohol, lost items, or gratuities for larger parties. In the United States, county health departments frequently require restaurants to include health warnings about raw or undercooked meat, poultry, eggs and seafood. As a form of advertising, the prose found on printed menus is famous for the degree of its puffery. Menus frequently emphasize the processes used to prepare foods, call attention to exotic ingredients, and add French or other foreign language expressions to make the dishes appear sophisticated and exotic. Higher-end menus often add adjectives to dishes such as "glazed," "sautéed," "poached," and so on. "Menu language, with its hyphens, quotation marks, and random outbursts of foreign words, serves less to describe food than to manage your expectations"; restaurants are often "plopping in foreign words (80 percent of them French) like "spring mushroom civet," "plin of rabbit," "orange-jaggery gastrique." 88
Part of the function of menu prose is to impress customers with the notion that the dishes served at the restaurant require such skill, equipment, and exotic ingredients that the diners could not prepare similar foods at home. In some cases, ordinary foods are made to sound more exciting by replacing everyday terms with their French equivalent. For example, instead of stating that a pork chop has a dollop of applesauce, a high-end restaurant menu might state "Tenderloin of pork avec compôte de pommes." Although the French term "avec compôte de pommes" is an exact translation of "with applesauce," it sounds more exotic – and more worthy of an inflated price tag. Menus may use the French term "concassé" to describe coarsely chopped vegetables or "coulis" to describe a puree of vegetables or fruit. Another example is the French term "au jus," which means that meat is served with its own natural gravy of pan drippings. In some fast food restaurants, each menu item has a number and patrons are asked to "order by number." Another phenomenon is the so-called "secret menu" where some fast food restaurants are known for having unofficial and unadvertised selections that customers learn by word of mouth. Fast food restaurants will often prepare variations on items already available, but to have them all on the menu would create clutter. Chipotle Mexican Grill is well known for having a simple five item menu, but some might not know they offer quesadillas and single tacos, despite neither being on the menu board. In-N-Out Burger has a very simple menu of burgers, fries, sodas, and shakes, but has a wide variety of "secret" styles of preparations, the most famous being "Animal Style" burgers and fries. This can also occur in high-end restaurants, which may be willing to prepare certain items which are not listed on the menu (e.g., dishes that have long been favorites of regular clientele). Sometimes restaurants may name foods often ordered by regular clientele after them, for either convenience or prestige. "Animal" consisting of cheese, grilled onions, and spread on a regular order of fries at In-N-Out Burger, part of the secret menu. Other secret menu 89
items include: Grilled Cheese − "two slices of melted American cheese, hand-leafed lettuce, tomato, spread, with or without onions on a freshly baked bun.” Veggie Burger − a sandwich containing only vegetables, without beef or cheese. Chopped Chilies − chopped yellow chili peppers are added to the burger. For more information, see History of Menu, Specific types of Menu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu Grand Californian Hotel.

LISTENING & READING Text 7: Restaurants History. The term “restaurant” (from the French “restaurer”, to restore) first appeared in the 16th century, meaning “a food which restores”, and referred specifically to a rich, highly flavoured soup. The modern sense of the word was born in around 1765 when a Parisian soup-seller named Boulanger opened his establishment. In 1779 the first modern cookbook entitled La Cuisiniere Bourgeoise was published. It contained recipes and typical menus suitable for the bourgeoisie. In 1794 the Thermidorean Convention led to a period 96
of culinary extravagance as numerous cooks were released from their service in aristocratic households. These chefs brought to the restaurants the ingenious idea of cooking meat within essences. This discovery led to the now common practice of cooking meat with its sauce. The first restaurant in the form that became standard (customers sitting down with individual portions at individual tables, selecting food from menus, during fixed opening hours) was the Grand Taveme de Londres, founded in 1782 by a man named Beauvilliers. Whilst inns and taverns were known from antiquity, these were establishments aimed at travellers, and in general locals would rarely eat there. The restaurant became established in France after the French Revolution broke up catering guilds and forced the aristocracy to flee, leaving a retinue of servants with the skills to cook excellent food; whilst at the same time numerous provincials arrived in Paris with no family to cook for them. Restaurants were the means by which these two could be brought together − and the French tradition of dining out was bom. In this period the star chef Antonin Careme, often credited with founding classic French cuisine, flourished, becoming known as the “Cook of Kings and the King of Cooks.” Restaurants spread rapidly to the United States, with the first (Jul- restarator) opening in Boston in 1794, and they spread rapidly thereafter. Most however continued on the standard approach (Service a franciaise) of providing a shared meal on the table to which customers could then help themselves, something which encouraged them to eat them quickly. The modem formal style of dining, where customers are given a plate with the food already arranged on it, is known as Service a la russe, as it is said to have been introduced to France by the Russian Prince Kourakin in the 1830s, from where it spread rapidly to England nd beyond. Historically, restaurant referred only to places that provided tables where one sat down to eat the meal, typically served by a waiter. Following the rise of fast food and take-out restaurants, a retronym for the older "standard" restaurant was created, sit-down restaurant. Most commonly, "sit-down restaurant" refers to a casual dining restaurant with table service, rather than a fast food restaurant, where 97
one orders food at a counter. Sit-down restaurants are often further categorized as "family-style" or "formal". In British English, the term restaurant almost always means an eating establishment with table service, so the "sit-down" qualification is not usually necessary. Fast food and takeaway (takeout) outlets with counter service are not normally referred to as restaurants. Outside of North-America, the terms fast casual dining restaurants, family style, and casual dining are not used. Junk food establishments would also not often be referred to as a 'restaurant. Restaurants range from unpretentious lunching or dining places catering to people working nearby, with simple food served in simple settings at low prices, to expensive establishments serving refined food and wines in a formal setting. In the former case, clients are not expected to wear formal wear. In the latter case, clients generally wear formal clothing, though this varies between cultures. The standard way in which restaurants operate is that customers sit at tables, a waiter comes to take their ordef, and later brings the food, and the customers pay the bill afterwards. Depending on local custom, a tip of varying proportions of the bill (often 10—20 %) is added, which (usually) goes to the staff rather than the restaurant. Restaurants often specialize in certain types of food. For example, there are seafood restaurants, vegetarian restaurants or ethnic restaurants. Generally speaking, restaurants selling “local” food are simply called restaurants, while restaurants selling food of foreign origin are called accordingly, for example, a Chinese restaurant and a French restaurant. Depending on local customs and the establishment, restaurants may or may not serve alcoholic beverages. Often, laws governing the sale of alcohol prohibit restaurants from selling alcohol without a meal, because otherwise, such a sale would be an activity for a bar, which are meant to have more severe restrictions. Some restaurants are licensed to serve alcohol (“fully licensed”) /and/or permit customers to “bring your own” alcohol (BYO). Restaurant Guides. Restaurant guides list the best places to eat. One of the most famous of these, in Western Europe, is the Michelin series of guides which accord from 1 to 3 stars to restaurants they perceive to be of high culinary merit. Restaurants with stars in the Michelin guide are formal, expensive establishments; in general the 98
more stars awarded, the higher the prices. In the United States, the Mobil Travel Guides and the American Automobile Association rate restaurants on a similar 1 to 5 star (Mobil) or Diamond (AAA) scale. Three, four, and five star ratings are roughly equivalent to the Michelin one, two, and three star ratings while one and two star ratings typically indicate more casual places to eat. The popular Zagat Surrey compiles individuals’ comments about restaurants but does not pass an “official” critical assessment. Restaurants can be classified by whether they provide places to sit, whether they are served by wait-staff and the quality of the service, the formal atmosphere, and the price range. One can say that restaurants are generally classified into three big groups: 1. Quick Service – Also known as fast-food restaurants. They offer limited menus that are prepared quickly. They usually have drive-thru windows and take-out. They may also be self-service outfits. 2. Mid scale – They offer full meals at a medium price that customers perceive as “good value.” They can be o f full service, buffets or limited service with customers ordering at the counter and having their food brought to them or self- service. 3. Upscale – Offer high quality cuisine at a high end price. They offer full service and have a high quality of ambience. TEXT WORK 7 1. Read and translate the text. Try to retell it. 2.

Fast food. Fast food restaurants emphasize speed of service. Operations range from small-scale street vendors with carts to franchise business franchised mega-corporations like McDonalds. Fast casual. Fast casual restaurants do not offer table service, but may offer non-disposable plates and cutlery. The quality of food and prices tend to be higher than those of a conventional fast food restaurant but may be lower than casual dining. Casual dining. A casual dining restaurant is a restaurant that serves moderately-priced food in a casual atmosphere. Except for buffet-style restaurants, casual dining restaurants typically provide table service. Casual dining comprises a market segment between 101
fast food establishments and fine dining restaurants. Casual dining restaurants usually have a full bar with separate bar staff, a larger beer menu and a limited wine menu. They are frequently, but not necessarily, part of a wider chain, particularly in the United States. Family style. Family style restaurants are a type of casual dining restaurants where food is traditionally served on plates and the diners serve themselves. Fine dining. Fine dining restaurants are full service restaurants with specific dedicated meal courses. Décor of such restaurants feature higher quality materials with an eye towards the "atmosphere" desired by the restaurateur. The wait staff is usually highly trained and often wears more formal attire (наряд). Finedining restaurants are almost always small businesses and are generally either single-location operations or have just a few locations. Food portions are smaller but more visually appealing. Fine dining restaurants have certain rules of dining which must be followed by visitors. Variations. Most of these establishments can be considered subtypes of fast casual dining restaurants or casual dining restaurants. Bistro and brasserie. In France, a brasserie is a café doubling as a restaurant and serving single dishes and other meals in a relaxed setting. A bistro is a familiar name for a café serving moderately priced simple meals in an unpretentious setting, especially in Paris; bistros have become increasingly popular with tourists. When used in English, the term bistro usually indicates either a fast casual dining restaurant with a European-influenced menu or a cafés with a larger menu of food. Buffet and smorgasbord. Buffets and smörgåsbord offer patrons a selection of food at a fixed price. Food is served on trays around bars, from which customers with plates serve themselves. The selection can be modest or very extensive, with the more elaborate menus divided into categories such as salad, soup, appetizers, hot entrées, cold entrées, and dessert and fruit. Often the range of cuisine can be eclectic, while other restaurants focus on a specific type, such as home-cooking, Chinese, Indian, or Swedish. The role of the waiter 102
or waitress in this case is relegated to removal of finished plates, and sometimes the ordering and refill of drinks. Café. Cafés are informal restaurants offering a range of hot meals and made-to-order sandwiches. Coffee shops, while similar to cafés, are not restaurants due to the fact that they primarily serve and derive the majority of their revenue from hot drinks. Many cafés are open for breakfast and serve full hot breakfasts. In some areas cafés offer outdoor seating. Cafeteria. A cafeteria is a restaurant serving ready-cooked food arranged behind a food-serving counter. There is little or no table service. Typically, a patron takes a tray and pushes it along a track in front of the counter. Depending on the establishment, servings may be ordered from attendants, selected as ready-made portions already on plates, or self-serve their own portions. Cafeterias are common in hospitals, corporations and educational institutions. In the UK, a cafeteria may also offer a large selection of hot food similar to the American fast casual restaurant, and the use of the term cafeteria is deprecated in favour of self-service restaurant. Coffeehouse or Teahouse. Coffeehouses are casual restaurants without table service that emphasize coffee and other beverages; typically a limited selection of cold foods such as pastries and perhaps sandwiches are offered as well. Their distinguishing feature is that they allow patrons to relax and socialize on their premises for long periods of time without pressure to leave promptly after eating, and are thus frequently chosen as sites for meetings. Destination restaurant. A destination restaurant is one that has a strong enough appeal to draw customers from beyond its community. Tabletop Cooking. Customers are seated as in a casual dining setting. Food items are prepared by the establishments for cooking on embedded gas stoves, induction cookers, or charcoal grills; the customer has control over the heating power of the appliance. Mongolian barbeque. Despite the name, this form of restaurant is not Mongolian, actually derived from Taiwan and inspired by Japanese teppanyaki. Customers create a bowl from an assortment of ingredients displayed in a buffet fashion. The bowl is then handed to 103
the cook, who stir-fries the food on a large griddle and returns it on a plate or in a bowl to the consumer. Teppanyaki-style. In North America, many restaurants specializing in Japanese cuisine offer the teppanyaki grill, which is more accurately based on a type of charcoal stove that is called shichirin in Japan. Diners, often in multiple, unrelated parties, sit around the grill while a chef prepares their food orders in front of them. Often the chef is trained in entertaining the guests with special techniques, including cracking a spinning egg in the air, forming a volcano out of differently-sized onion slices, and flipping grilled shrimp pieces into patrons' mouths, in addition to various props. Pub: Public House. Mainly in the UK and other countries influenced by British culture, a pub (short for public house) is a bar that sometimes serves simple food fare. Traditionally, pubs were primarily drinking establishments with food in a secondary position, whereas many modern pubs rely on food as well, to the point where gastropubs are often essentially fine-dining establishments, known for their high-quality pub food and concomitantly high prices. A typical pub has a large selection of beers and ales on tap.

READING&SPEAKING Text 7.2: Restaurant chains There has been a remarkable increase in the number and size of restaurant chains. A modern variation on the lunch counter is the fast food operatic: Fast foods are those which can be prepared, served, and eaten quickly; probably the most typical fast food is the hamburger and pizza. Burger and pizza chains have been the fastest growing type of restaurant chain: particularly in the United States. Hamburger chains are the largest segment in the market, followed by pizza; chains. Competition is particularly intense in the sandwich market which accounts for more than 40 per cent of sales by restaurant chains. It appears that large restaurant chains are following two commercial strategies: on the one hand, the short-term strategy is to bring down prices by reducing margins in order to maintain and capture market share; on the other, the long-term strategy concentrates on offering services in the evening with a greater added value. Furthermore, restaurant chains are diversifying into the pizza sector which has grown considerably since 1990. Large hotel chains not only possess the know-how, they have also establish) vast marketing networks throughout the world. By developing high-quality tourism in the area, the international tourism chains have created conditions: for local chains to develop and also to become international.

Translate into English: Существует много критериев для классификации пред-приятий питания. Среди них можно выделить наиболее важные. Это характер торгово – производственной деятельности, мес-торасположение, ассортимент продукции (специализация), контингент обслуживания, вместимость, уровень обслуживания, время функционирования. Однако, характер торгово-производственной деятельности является главным критерием, в зависимости от которого все предприятия делятся на различные типы. В большинстве стран СНГ и Казахстане принята классификация предприятий общественного питания, основанная на Государственном стан-дарте. Выделяются следующие типы предприятий питания по характеру торгово-производственной деятельности: ресторан, бар, кафе, столовая, закусочная, кулинарный 106
магазин. Для каждого типа предприятий по этому признаку классификации характерны соответствующий ассортимент блюд и напитков, применяемые формы обслуживания, месторасположение, об-служиваемый контингент клиентов и др. При этом рестораны и бары по уровню обслуживания и номенклатуре предостав-ляемых услуг подразделяются на три класса: люкс; высший; первый. Кафе, столовые, закусочные и кулинарные магазины на классы не подразделяются. Существует неофициальная "вилочная" классификация. Количество вилок табличке отражает какие услуги должен предоставлять ресторан согласно своей категории, а не то, насколько хорошо он их предоставляет. Например, рассмотрим реcторан, имеющий оценку "Пять вилок". Он должен иметь раздельный вход для клиентов и для персонала, гардероб, вестибюль или зал ожидания, оборудованный барной стойкой. Отдельные туалеты с горячей и холодной водой для посетителей и персонала. Мебель и отделка помещений высококачественная. Униформа для персонала.

LISTENING & READING Text 8: Methods of cooking Cooking is a heat treatment of food to make it edible. Many products cannot be eaten raw. Meat, fish and vegetables are usually cooked. Some fruits are not cooked, but some, such as apples, pears, and currants, may be used in pies or to make desserts. Fruits are also cooked to make jams, jellies, and marmalades. 114
The four basic ways to cook food are as follows: heating in a liquid (boiling, stewing); heating in fat or oil (frying and sauteing); heating in steam (steaming); heating by dry heat (baking, roasting and grilling). Boiling. We may boil food in different liquids and mixtures, including water, stocky and wine. Meat, poultry, many vegetables and spaghetti are cooked in this way. Stewing is cooking food slowly in liquid. It is often used for meat. Vegetables, herbs, and spices are usually added at the end of cooking. Deep-frying is immersion of food in hot fat or oil. Chipped potatoes and doughnuts are the best example of deep-frying. Deep-fried foods are called fritters. Shallow frying is frying on a pan in hot fat or oil, when the food is fried on both sides. We can fry eggs, meat, vegetables, mushrooms, onions and pancakes, Sauteing is frying when natural juices of the food are mixed with the fat or oil in the saucepan. We can also add stock, wine or cream. As a result we obtain a dish with a sauce. Steaming is a method of cooking above the surface of boiling liquid in a covered saucepan. Fish, vegetables, and poultry are especially suitable for steaming, as are some types of puddings. Baking is dry cooking inside an oven. Bread, cakes, pastries, tarts and biscuits are baked. Vegetables, especially potatoes, may also be cooked in this way. Roasting is cooking meat and poultry, which are placed in an oven and cooked by dry heat. They are often basted, that is, the juices from the meat are spooned over during the process. Some cooks wrap the meat in a roasting foil with a little oil or melted fat. Meat can be also roasted on a spit. Grilling is a rapid method of cooking poultry, fish, cuts of meat, sausages and kebabs by heat, the source of which may be gas, electricity, or charcoal TEXT WORK 8 1. Read and translate the text.

READING & SPEAKING Text 8.1: Food preparation Stock. «The basis of good cooking is a good stock» Is an old saying whicu is still true today, because a stock is the basis of many dishes, such as soups, sauces and gravies. A stock is a liquid made from raw meat and bones, vegetables such as carrots, celery and onion, and seasonings such as bay leaf, parsley stalks and peppercorns by long simmering. Types of stock. There are fear basic types of stocks, whieft are used today. White meat stock, which is made with chicken or veal 117
bones to achieve a light colour and flavour and is used with white meat dishes. Brown beef stock which is made with beef bones, well browned in the oven fear m strong flavour and rich brown colour before the liquid is added. It is used for game and mi meat dishes. Fish stock which is made front the bones of fish, cooked for a shorter time than other stocks (20 minutes) and used for fish dishes. Vegetable stock, which is made without meat or bones, is usually prepared with vegetables such as celery, carrot and onion, and is used for soups and vegetarian dishes. Other stocks, including stock cubes, are used forvarious purposes. Methods of making stock. Ingredients used to prepare a basic meat stock usually in the ratio: 1 litre cold water, 500 g bones and meat trimmings, 100 g vegetables (onion, carrot, celery) spices, 3 peppercorns. 1. Use clean bones, meat and vegetables. Never potatoes or pumpkin in stock. 2. Bones should be washed prior to cooking, Арart from brown stocks they should be blanched before adding other ingredients. 3. Any fat should be removed from bones or meal before cooking. Bones should be cut, meat finely cut and vegetables chopped to extract maximum flavour, colour and nutrients from the ingredients. 4. Always use cold water, bring the stock to the boil and simmer for 3 to 4 hours. Fish stock will only required 20 to 30 minutes to cook. A stock should never be cover with a lid. 5. Skim the stock occasionally to remove fat that rises to the surface during cooking. 6. Do not add salt to stock because when the stock is used in other dishes, such as sauces or soups, they will be too salty. 7. After cooking strain the stock, remove any fat when cold and store in the fridge for later use. Herbs and Spices. Bay leaf, peppercorns, and parsley stalks are the mainherbs and spices used in stocks. Vegetables. The basic vegetables added to any stocks include celery, onion, carrot and leek. Tomato puree, bacon bones, garlic, mushroom trimmings and red and white wine can be added to stock. 118
Sauces. Sauces are very important in cookery and there are few dishes that do not have one or more sauces. Knowledge of the characteristics of a good sauce is important. The basis of a good sauce is a stock. However, there are some sauces that do not require a stock, such as bechamel, mayonnaise and bearnaise. SOUPS. Unthickened soups.The function of soups is to stimulate appetite. A well-made soup will have a good colour, flavour and consistency, and will be served at the correct serving temperature with the appropriate garnish. To estimate the required amount of soup needed for any number of orders, allow four portions per litre (or 250 gr.per serve). Soups are normally classified into unthickened soups (consommes, bouillons, broths)'and thickened soups (purees, cremes and bisques). Consommes are clear soups prepared from strong stocks, which, are flavoured with various meats (poultry, game, fish), vegetables, herbs and seasonings. They must be crystal clear when cooked. They are served alone or with a simple garnish. The name of the soup is often taken from the garnish used, for example «consomme a la julienne» which has thin julienne strips of root vegetables, or «consomme Italienne» which is garnished with pasta. Bouillons are served in the same way as consommes. Broths are unstrained soups made from stock, and garnished with a cereal, diced vegetables, meat or fish. Thickened Soups. Purees are made from fresh, diced vegetables cooked in stock. The ingredients in the soup are passed through a sieve or blender to make a thick soup. Cremes (cream soups) are thickened with cream. There are two ways to make a cream soup: 1. A bechamel sauce is prepared, added to the pureed ingredients and finished with stock and cream. 2. A puree is made from the ingredients and then cream is added. Bisques are made with fish stock; vegetables, wines, herbs and seasonings. They are thickened with rice, passed through a sieve and finished with wine and cream. Principles of making soup. Use good quality fresh ingredients. Use a well-flavoured stock instead of water. Season well with salt, pepper and herbs. Remove any fat from the surface with kitchen paper or a ladle. Thickenings. The various types of thickenings used in soups are: Starch, such as flour, corn flour or rice flour, is blended with cold liquid 119
then added to the soup. Egg yolk and cream are used to thicken soups. Egg yolks are blended with milk or cream and a little of the soup. This mixture is then added to the rest of the soup and stirred. Garnishes. Garnishes are used to add to the soup. No more than 10 per cent of the total volume should be garnish, except in the case of broths. Garnishes, such as tiny cubes of meat, ham, poultry or vegetables, should be cut to a suitable size so that they can be eaten with a spoon. Fried bread cubes (croutons) can be used in place of noodles or rice. Chopped herbs (such as parsley) can be sprinkled on the sotip prior to service, sour cream can be added to soup, or grated cheese can be sprinkled onto soup or served at the table for guests to add if desired. Sandwiches. Common types of sandwiches are: the conventional sandwich with a layer of filling between two slices of bread; the club sandwich wj.th two layers of filling between three slices of bread which is then cut into strips or triangles; open sandwich with a single slice of bread heavily garnished and spread with filling Sandwiches should always be very fresh. They should be made to order for the best results. If they must be made in advance, they should be well covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. They should, if possible, be left uncut. Breads must be very fresh, and the margarine or butter at room temperature for smooth spreading. Ingredients suitable for sandwich making include: bread − white, rye, rice-cracker, crisp bread, bread sticks; spreads − butter (salted or unsalted), margarine, or a mixture of butter and mustard, anchovy, garlic or herbs; fillings − any of a wide range of fillings may be suitable. PASTA AND RICE. Pasta is an Italian word, which means dough. It is used to refer to all the different types of spaghetti, macaroni and noodles. There are dozens of different types and shapes of pasta available on the market, which may be purchased dried or fresh. The chief ingredients used in pasta making are flour (made from wheat) and water. Flat-type pastas are made with the addition of eggs. Types of pasta. Different types of pasta can be produced by the addition of simple ingredients to the dough. Pasta can be coloured green or red by the addition of spinach or tomatoes. The variety of shapes is endless and new types are continually appearing on the market. 120
Cooking pasta. The quantity of pasta to allow for each person will depend upon how the pasta is to be used and the number ;, of courses in the meal: Entree − 50 to 75g of uncooked pasta per person; Main course ---100 to 150 g of uncooked pasta per person. Pasta should be cooked in plenty of well-salted boiling, water in an uncovered pot. Allow about 4 to 6 litres of water per kilogram of pastas The water must be boiling before the pasta is added, so that the pieces do not stick together. Cooking time will depend upon the size, shape and density of the pasta, so check the manufacturer's instructions for a guide. Fresh pasta cooks in about 3 minutes. Pasta should be cooked to a stage known as al dentex. This translates as «to the tooth» and means the pasta should still be firm to bite and not be overcooked. When cooking large quantities, the pasta can be boiled to al dente, rinsed, then transferred immediately into pots of cold water for later use. It can be held for short periods in this way until required, then dropped into boiling water to heat. Rice. The two main types of rice are short grain and long grain. White or polished varieties are most commonly used. Brown rice takes longer to cook. Rice is usually served as an accompaniment to a meal − allow 50 g of uncooked rice per serve. SALADS. Salads are served all year round but are particularly popular during summer when they are served as an alternative to hot vegetables. Dressing of a salad should usually be done just prior to serving. The term salad originally referred to the green leaves and stalks of plants that could be eaten uncooked. Salad is any cold dish consisting of meat, poultry, fish, fruits and vegetables. They may be on the menu in the following ways: As an appetizer − salad can be served as an appetizer or entree before the main course. It should be light «nd stimulate the appetite. Suitable types are seafood cocktails, fruit cocktails, smoked salmon salad and avocado cocktails. As a side dish − Examples include green salad and coleslaw. As the main course − salad can form the basis of the main course. It is usually a combination of cold meat, fish or poultry served with a variety of vegetables, fruits or dairy products. As a dessert − fruit salad is a popular dessert. It is made by combining fruits, for example melon 121
ball salad, tropical fruit salad or berry salad, of by a combination of any available fruits. Making salads. When making a salad keep in mind: When selecting fruits and vegetables, choose only crisp, fresh pieces. Any ingredient, which has been washed, should be drained well or dried with a clean cloth. In general, do not dress the salad until just before serving time. Keep the arrangement of the salad simple. ft. If using pasta, care should be taken to ensure that it is not overcooked. Salads must be served on cold plates and kept in a cool place. Basic ingredients. Lettuce is the basic ingredient in salad making. It may be finely shredded or it may be used as whole leaves in the bowl or platter. Lettuce, along with other greens, must be washed in cold water. After washing, the lettuce should be drained or dried with a cloth. The lettuce is then ready for immediate use or can be packed in plastic bags and stored in the refrigerator. Other popular salad ingredients are celery, cucumber, tomato, mushrooms, carrots, radishes, onions, spring onions, beetroot, potatoes, cabbage, olives, macaroni, rice and fruit. Salad dressings. Dressings are used with most salads. The two main types of dressings are French dressing and mayonnaise. French dressings are a mixture of oil, vinegar and seasonings. These ingredients do not mix well and dressing must be shaken before use. Suitable oils are olive, peanut and corn. The vinegar used may be cider vinegar. Mayonnaise is the emulsion of vegetable oil, egg yolk, vinegar and seasonings. Preparation of mayonnaise is very tedious and time consuming. For this reason, most catering establishments select commercially produced mayonnaise. Garnishing a salad. The most common garnish used for salads is parsley. Suitable garnishes for vegetable salads are: parsley − sprigs or chopped; lemon − slices or wedges; hard boiled eggs − sliced; tomato − slices, wedges; radishes − slices; celery − slices, curls; cucumbers − peeled and sliced.

LISTENING & READING Text 9: Food&Beverage Department Every modern hotel offers some form of food and beverage service. In some, facilities are available only for a continental breakfast − that is, a light meal of bread or rolls and coffee − while others have a small coffee shop or restaurant on the premises. In many small hotels or motels, these food services are often operated on a concession basis: the facility is leased to an outside operator, called the concessionaire, who pays the owners of the hotel either a fixed rent or a percentage of the income. Many other hotels have complete restaurant service and also offer room service for guests who desire food and beverages served to them in their rooms. Large hotels, including the more luxurious resort hotels, usually offer a great variety of restaurants and bars for their guests to choose from. The restaurants may have different price ranges and/or different menus. Food and beverage service is a major factor in hotel operation. In some large hotels, the income derived from this source actually exceeds income from room rentals. The food and beverage income in many hotels is increased by providing service for banquets and conventions. Because of the large proportion of income contributed by a hotel's bars and restaurants, the food and beverage manager is a key member of the management staff. He has the overall responsibility for planning the food and drink operation and purchasing the hundreds of items that are necessary for the restaurants and bars. Because food can spoil quickly, ordering supplies is a daily activity. In a very large establishment, two people may be assigned to this task − one to order food and the other to order wines and spirits. The food and beverage manager's staff may also include a storekeeper, who stores and issues food, beverages and restaurant and kitchen supplies. The kitchen itself is almost a separate kingdom within the hotel. The head cook, almost always designated by the French word Chef, is the boss. The chef is responsible for planning the menus − that is, 130
the food that is being served on a particular day − and for supervising the work of the other chefs and cooks. Depending on the size of the establishment, several assistant chefs report to the chef. These include a sauce chef, a salad chef, a vegetable chef and so on. Under the supervision of the chefs are the cooks who actually cook the food and then place it on the plate for the waiters to pick up. Under the cook's supervision are the kitchen helpers who, for example, peel potatoes, cut up vegetables, and bring food from the storeroom to the kitchen. The kitchen staff also includes dishwashes, even in a kitchen equipped with electrical appliances, since pots and pans usually need special attention, and someone must load and unload the machines. In the restaurant, as well as in the kitchen, there are also different kinds of jobs. The person who seats the guests is called captain or maitre d' (short for maitre d'hotel, another French expression that keeps appearing in the hotel and restaurant business), or a hostess, if a woman. In restaurants with a very formal style of service, the captain also takes the guests' orders. The meals are served by waiters or waitresses. In less formal restaurants, the waiters and waitresses take orders and serve the meals. Most restaurants also employ busboys, who pour water, clear and set tables, and perform other similar chores. In some restaurants, however, the waiters and waitresses carry out these tasks. In an elaborate restaurant, there is often an employee called the wine steward or sommelier, who takes orders for wine and sometimes for other alcoholic drinks. Finally, there are cashiers who receive payment or signed bills from the guests. When the guest puts his restaurant bill on his hotel account, this information must be passed along to the accounting office as quickly as possible. In addition to a restaurant, most hotels also have a bar or cocktail lounge where drinks are served. Bartenders work behind the bar, which, of course, is the long counter familiar throughout the world. They mix drinks and serve them to the customers at the bar. Additional waiters or waitresses are needed to serve customers who are seated at tables. In a very busy bar, one bartender may fill orders only for the waiters while others take care of the guests at the bar. 131
The bartenders usually act as cashiers in addition to their other duties. The bar or cocktail lounge may also offer food service, although it is usually simpler than the food served in the hotel dining room. Fast food, such as sandwiches or hamburgers, is customary. One food and beverage facility that is often not connected with the main hotel kitchen is the snack-bar. The snack-bar is small unit that provides fast-order foods and drink service to guests who are using the hotel's swimming pool or some other recreational facility. Snack bars are a prominent feature of resort hotels. Where the recreational facilities are in great demand, the snack bar often has its own staff of cooks, usually of the short-order variety, and waiters and waitresses. Hotels generally employ a large number of workers in proportion to the number of guests; this is especially true in the food and beverage department. The restaurant business as a whole is one of the most labour-intensive of all industries, and this is true whether the restaurant is in a hotel or not. Much of the activity in connection with food and beverage service is invisible to the guests, but many of the employees in the department have frequent contact with them. These especially include the dining room and room service personnel. They must adhere to the same standards of hospitality and courtesy as all the other employee's who meet and talk with the guests in the hotel. TEXT WORK 9 1. Read and translate the text.

READING & SPEAKING Text 9.1: Hotel services Food services are a feature of hotels. Catering, providing food and drink for guests, has always gone together with accommodations. The typical modern "packaged hotel" includes a restaurant, a cafe shop for quicker and less expensive meals, and a bar or cocktail lounge. Many larger hotels have several restaurants, often featuring different kinds of foods, as well as different prices. Hotels also normally provide room service − food and drink that are brought to the guest's room. In addition, catering service is usually provided in the hotel's recreational areas. The poolside bar and snack bar for quick food are normal part of the service at a resort hotel. Restaurants, bars and nightclubs outside the hotels are a standard feature of the resort scene. Indeed, many resorts could not really operate without them. They provide not only catering, but also some kind of entertainment for the tourist who is bored with the limits of hotel life. Food, in fact, may be one of the reasons why people travel. Many people go out of their way to visit France, for example, because of the gourmet meals that are served there. Similarly, the excellent restaurants of Hong Kong constitute one of its principal 134
tourist attractions. It should also be pointed out that many grocery stores, delicatessens, and liquor stores (bake money from tourism. Providing meals and drinks in the guests' rooms is another service extended by most hotels. Room service is ordered by telephone from a menu that is placed in each room. The menu itself in some cases is the same as the one for the dining room, but more often it is simplified to make for easier preparation and service. Special employees take the orders and special waiters carry them to the rooms. To cut down on orders for ice and soft drinks, many hotels have machines on each floor to dispense these items. Room service in most hotels closes down at the same time the kitchen does, normally between ten o'clock and midnight. A few hotels, however, are prepared to provide sandwiches even during the late-night hours. Some luxury hotels have small kitchens or pantries on each floor that are used either for warming food or for preparing breakfasts. More room service orders are for breakfasts than for any other meal. In some hotels, the guest can order breakfast before he goes to bed by filling out a slip which he leaves outside the door. The meal is then served at the time the guest has specified. Even in hotels with more than one restaurant, there is usually just one central kitchen. The special types of food served in the various restaurants are normally prepared by different chefs and cooks rather than in separate kitchens. The food and beverage service is then supplemented and the delivery of it speeded up by means of service bars and pantries. There are, of course, exceptions to this arrangement, but the efficient use of space for storage of the many items that must be kept on hand for the restaurants and bars. These items include not only the food and beverages themselves, but items such as table linens, dishes, knives, forks, spoons, plate warmers, trays, ashtrays, aprons and dish towels. Hotel restaurants have a Room Service department for the guests. Room service is the service of food or beverages in guests' rooms. The Room Service department works together with the kitchen of the restaurant. Hotels are often judged by the standard of the room service they provide. Five-star hotels provide room service for at least 18 hours of the day, but more often they provide 24-hour 135
service and that service must at all times be friendly, quick and efficient. The dishes available for service in rooms are listed on a special room service menu. The guests can order: Breakfast (from 6 am to 11 am), All day dining (from 11 am to 11pm), A la carte dishes (from 7 pm to 10 pm), Night owl menu (from 11 pm to 6 am). Most orders to Room Service are given by telephone. The waiters from the Room Service bring the dishes that were ordered by the guests on trays and trolleys. They usually knock on the door three times and say loudly, «Room Service». When the door is opened the waiter enters the room and greets the guest. The guest tells where to place the tray or trolley. The waiters usually explain what they have brought, ask to sign the bill, and tell the guest to put trays or trolleys outside their rooms in the passage after they have finished their meals. Moreover, large hotels usually offer their guests different kinds of services. At the laundry they can have their things washed and pressed. At the dry cleaner's they can clean their clothes. At the shoes repair shop they can haw their shoes mended and polished. TEXT WORK 9.1 1. Read and translate the text. Try to retell it. 2. Give a summary of the text. 3. Answer the questions.

LISTENING & READING Text 10: Bartending. At the bar Introduction to Bartending. Bartending is the art of mixing drinks. Bartending is a profession not just to master mixed drinks but know how in bar set-up, beverage service, merchandizing, customer relations and a good salesman. Must always posses best qualities as a person. Basic Function of a Bartender: Prepare or mixe drink according to standard recipes. Set up the bar, equipping it with beverage stocks and the necessary equipment and supplies. Ensure that the par stock of supplies and equipment is maintained; makes requisition when necessary. Take charge of storage and refrigeration of wines and other beverages. Take inventory of beverages consumption as well as of spillage, losses and breakages of equipment; submit report to the his supervisor/superior. See to it that the bar is properly stocked, clean and well maintained. Bar is a retail business establishment that serves alcoholic drinks − beer, wine, liquor, and cocktails − for consumption on the premises. Bars provide stools or chairs that are placed at tables or counters for their patrons. Some bars have entertainment on a stage, such as a live band, comedians, go-go dancers, or strippers. Bars which offer entertainment or live music are often referred to as music bars or nightclubs. Types of bars range from dive bars to elegant places of entertainment for the elite. Many bars have a happy hour to encourage off-peak patronage. Bars that fill to capacity sometimes implement a cover charge or a minimum purchase requirement during their peak hours. Such bars often feature entertainment, which may be a live band or a disc jockey playing recorded music. A full bar serves liquor, cocktails, wine, and beer. A wine bar is an elegant bar that focuses on wine rather than on beer or liquor. Patrons of these bars may taste wines before deciding to buy them. Some 146
wine bars also serve small plates of food or other snacks. A beer bar focuses on beer, particularly craft beer, rather than on wine or liquor. A brew pub has an on-site brewery and serves craft beers. "Fern bar" is an American slang term for an upscale or preppy (or yuppie) bar. A music bar is a bar that presents live music as an attraction. A dive bar is a very informal bar, sometimes referred to simply as a "dive." The term "bar" is derived from the specialized counter on which drinks are served. Patrons may sit or stand at the bar and be served by the bartender, or they may sit at tables and be served by cocktail servers. The "back bar" is a set of shelves of glasses and bottles behind that counter. In some establishments, the back bar is elaborately decorated with woodwork, etched glass, mirrors, and lights. There have been many names throughout history for establishments where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages. Even when an establishment uses a different name, such as "tavern," the area of the establishment where the bartender pours or mixes alcoholic beverages is normally called "the bar."The sale and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages was prohibited in the first half of the 20th century in several countries, including Finland, Iceland, Norway, and the United States. A bar's owners and managers choose the bar's name, décor, drink menu, lighting, and other elements which they think will attract a certain kind of patron. However, they have only limited influence over who patronizes their establishment. Thus, a bar originally intended for one demographic profile can become popular with another. For example, a gay bar with a dance floor might, over time, attract an increasingly straight clientele. Or a blues bar may become a biker bar if most its patrons are bikers. A bar is the place where you can have a cup of coffee with a sandwich or a cold snack also. If you want to have a drink you can order a cocktail or a glass of beer. You can also order rum, wine, liqueurs, whisky and vodka. They also serve cooling beverages, 147
juices, fruit cocktails, ice cream, pastry, sweets, chocolates, cigarettes and fruit. The barman is standing behind the bar counter. He serves his customers who sit at the counter on high stools in front of him. They drink cocktails and coffee. Some visitors sit in comfortable armchairs at the tables. They drink cocktails, fruit juices, soda and beer. Some visitors drink coffee with sandwiches and eat ice cream. Come to the grill-bar where customers can taste kebabs or shashliks (pieces of mutton roasted on a spit), grilled sausages, grilled fish, grilled chicken, beefsteaks, coffee and beverages. In the beer bars they sell bottled and draught beef, mineral and fruit water. They usually have no strong drinks on sale. Customers can order beer of any kind they like. For a snack visitors can take potato chips, biscuits, salted nuts, olives, shrimps, cheese and fish snacks of smoked, dried and salted fish, sandwiches, cold and hot snacks. Customers can find express-bars in the shopping centers, hotels and at the railway stations. Their aim is to serve the customers as quick as possible. They serve coffee and tea, sandwiches, baked items, pastry and milk products. In the evening people can go to a disco-bar. The halls in discobars are specially decorated and have special devices producing light effects. People come to these bars to dancer to listen to the music, to see the performance and to have a good time. Discobars usually have the menu with snacks, sandwiches» cooling and mixed drinks. For dessert the guests can have ice cream and fresh fruit. Snack bar usually refers to an inexpensive food counter that is part of a permanent structure where snack foods and light meals are sold. A beach snack bar is often a small building situated high on the sand. Besides soft drinks, candies and chewing gum, some snack bars sell hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, potato chips, corn chips and other foods. While this is usually the case, sometimes "snack bar" refers to a small café or cafeteria. Various small, casual dining establishments might be referred to as a "snack bar," 148
including a beverage and snack counter at a movie theater and/or a small deli. Cocktail lounge where drinks are served. A cocktail lounge is an upscale bar that is typically located within a hotel, restaurant, or airport. Bartenders work behind the bar, which, of course, is the long counter familiar throughout the world. They mix drinks and serve them to the customers at the bar. Additional waiters or waitresses are needed to serve customers who are seated at tables. In a very busy bar, one bartender may fill orders only for the waiters while others take care of the guests at the bar. The bartenders usually act as cashiers in addition to their other duties. The bar or cocktail lounge may also offer food service, although it is usually simpler than the food served in the hotel dining room. Fast food, such as sandwiches or hamburgers, is customary. READING & SPEAKING Text 10.1: Types of cocktails The origin of the word "cocktail" will never be known for sure. Theories range from glasses decorated with tail filled with leftover drinks to a Mexican girl named Cocktel. Whatever its beginnings, the addition of flavorings and fruit juices to gin, whiskey and vodka and other liquors makes mixed drinks more palatable for a lot of people. Barmen make cocktails to order. They make aperitifs, digestives and original cocktails. Aperitif cocktails are served before the meal. They are «Manhattan» with a cherry on the bottom, «Martini» with an olive on the bottom and «Cinzano». These cocktails improve the appetite. They are rather strong and are made with gin, vodka, whisky and rum. Some of them are made with vermouth or port. The digestives are served after the meal. They help to digest food. The original cocktails can be layered. They have several layers of spirits of different colour. There are a lot of recipes of dessert cocktails. 149
They are called bowls, cobblers, fizzes, highballs and sour. They are long drinks and people drink these cocktails using straws. When you drink «through a straw» it's called «a long drink», when you drink at a gulp - «a shot drink». Cobblers are made with ice and are decorated with fruits: lemons, oranges and berries. Fizzes are made with sparkling wine (for example, champagne) or sodas. Highballs are served in high glasses. They are a mixture of two ingredients: strong drinks, such as whiskey or vodka, and some soda. «Sour» cocktails have much lemon juice in them. Barmen use diferent glass types for different drinks. Glassware is a general term for a vessel intended to contain beverages or liquid foods for drinking or consumption. Glass sizes are important when it comes to proper portioning. Having glasses that are too large will usually make bartenders feel obligated to pour and fill up the glass, even if the recipe does not call for it. On the chart below, find the different glass types and the beverages that they should be used for. Pre-dinner cocktails or aperitifs are usually served before eating. They stimulate the appetite. They are made with strong and clear spirits, such as whisky, gin or brandy. They have high alcohol content. They have no more than three ingredients and are not mixed with juice or cream. Creamy cocktails are usually served after a meal as a dessert. They are made with ice cream, milk, sweet liqueurs, fruit, chocolate and coconut sprinkles. They can be made layered. Long cocktails are usually served in a long glass with a straw. They are not so strong as other cocktails. They consist mainly of ice with a little spirit, fruit juice and sodas. Sour cocktails are a combination of spirits and liqueurs with lemon juice and sugar syrup. They are good in hot weather because they are served with ice. Shot cocktails are served in small glasses. They саn be sipped or «shot». Non-alcoholic cocktails are made of fruit juices and soda. They are served in large cocktail glasses with a straw. They can be decorated with fruit slices.

LISTENING & READING Text 11: Meals in England The usual meals in England are breakfast in the morning, lunch at one o'clock during the break at work and dinner at home at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, traditional five o'clock tea and late supper. English breakfast is usually substantial and varied. For breakfast English people may have porridge or cornflakes with milk or cream and sugar, bacon and eggs, fried mushrooms, marmalade with buttered toast and tea or coffee. For a change they can have a boiled egg, cold ham, or fish with potato chips. If you prefer it you can have eggs
159
boiled or scrambled, and occasionally, fish, e. g., herring, haddock, or kipper is served. Lunch is served between half-past twelve and half-past one. Those people who work usually have lunch about one o'clock. The business man in London finds it is impossible to get home for this and so takes it in a cafe or 'restaurant, but those who are at home generally take cold meat, e. g., beef, mutton, veal, ham, with boiled or fried potatoes, another vegetable or salad, and pickles. For lunch they may have a mutton chop, or fish and chips, or cold meat, or steak with fried potatoes and salad and then a fruit dessert. Instead of this you may have a chop, or a steak and chips, followed by biscuits and cheese and a cup of coffee. With the lunch you will probably drink water or light beer. Working people usually have their lunch at the canteen or in the nearest cafe of a small restaurant. Afternoon tea follows between four and five o'clock. Five o'clock tea is an old English tradition. Friends often come for a chat while they have their cup of tea, cake or biscuit. This is not generally a formal meal. Instead of sitting round the table you have tea brought to you, and you balance a cup on your knee or in your hand as you take thin buttered bread, pastries, cake or biscuits. For dinner let us go to a hotel. In London there are hotels to suit every taste and every purse. For the really cheap places it is very interesting to explore the little French or Italian restaurants of Soho. The visitors who are feeling homesick can find different restaurants - French, Spanish and other and imagine they have gone back to their countries. If you want real old English food you must go to the Strand. Here a joint of roast beef − cooked at open roasting fires - is wheeled to your table and carved before your eyes. Most visitors liked to go to the «Old Cheshire Cheese», of Fleet Street, an old chop-house where famous writers used to go. Dickens and Thackerey went there in the nineteenth century, and many modern writers, journalists, and lawyers went there. The specialty was the huge rump-steak, kidney, and oyster pudding. A plate of this with a pint of bitter beer in a long glass, followed by the pancake or the toasted cheese and special "punch" in a China bowl, is a meal you don't easily forget. 160
In many English families dinner is the biggest meal of the day and in the evening there is usually a much simpler supper − an omelet or sausages, or sometimes bacon and eggs. For late swapper they may have just bread and cheese, a glass of juice or hot chocolate and fruit. If you are going to the Great Britain tour today, your tour cost includes the majority of breakfasts and some dinners as indicated in your specific itinerary. Breakfasts on tour vary between a light continental fare such as toast, cereals and juices to on other days much heartier selections of eggs, meats and potatoes. Of course, there is always tea and coffee to get your day off to a good start. Lunches are at your own expense, but we’ll ensure that you have inexpensive and health options across the continent. From hamburgers to salads almost any type of lunch is available but to be sure you should budget around $8 per day for lunches. Included dinners feature a variety of menus to reflect local cuisine. Rather than included meals, about twice a week we suggest a special meal out to more fully enjoy the local cuisine and culture, not included in your tour cost. When dinner is not included your Tour Manager will always have a number of suggestions just right to fit your budget. Often on these evenings there may also be an optional excursion meal planned.

LISTENING & READING Text 11.1: American food and eating habits Speaking about typical American food, well, we have a phrase "as American as apple pie," so that's the first thing that comes to mind. I suppose that a hamburger is rather American and pancakes with maple syrup. Pumpkin pie, of course. Hot dogs, I guess, would be another American thing. We've had people from all over the world come into America throughout its history and so we've rather absorbed all the world's cooking. You know, pizza is a very American thing now. I am not positive, but I believe it really comes from Italy. Now, for main dishes − especially for dinner − Americans eat a lot of red meat, but more and more people are eating fish and poultry. Beef is the most popular red meat, followed by pork, and, least popular, lamb. In general, Americans like thick steaks. There are three ways to cook the meat: rare (not cooked very much), medium, and well-done (cooked a lot). The favorite American vegetable is the potato. It is served in many ways, but the most common are: baked potato, mashed potato, and French fries. Corn, too, is a truly American vegetable. It is especially popular to eat the whole ear (cob) holding the ends with your fingers. This is called "corn on the cob." Eating out is popular in the USA. Some restaurants are open even for breakfast, many restaurants, especially the better ones, open at about 11.30 a.m., others are open twenty-four hours a day. It is often necessary to make a reservation. Otherwise the restaurant 162
you chose may be filled up. By the way, do not expect to share a table with other parties. It just isn't done. If you want to ask for a bill, which is usually called the check, signal the waiter with a raised hand. If that doesn't work, you can say: "Excuse me, may we have the check, please." As the charge for service is not included in your restaurant check, everyone from waiters to porters anticipate tips. The amount you give should take into account the quality of service you receive. You should give 15 percent for good service, 20 percent for outstanding service and 10 percent for less than adequate service. Figure the tip on the total of the bill (excluding tax). Don't tip the headwaiter, though. Now, many restaurants post menus in the window so you can see the prices before you enter. If they do not, it is acceptable to enter the restaurant and ask for a menu before you sit down. If it is too expensive, it is OK to leave. If you do not eat all your food, you may ask for a "doggie bag." The waiter Will put your uneaten food in a paper or plastic bag and you can take it home. You should not do it at an expensive first class restaurant, of course. READING & SPEAKING Text 11.2: Eating out in New York City A wide variety of dining pleasures awaits a visitor to New York City, from luxuriating in the fanciest of French restaurants to grabbing a hot dog. With cuisines from every corner of the globe, New York City will feed you very well regardless of your budget. The least costly alternatives are those used by many natives at lunch time: street vendors, fast food places and delis. Street vendors' offerings − hot dogs for $2.00 or less − are fast, inexpensive and very "New York." Hot dogs (also called "franks" or "frankfurters") are a kind of sausage placed inside a bun. They are often made from pork and can be steamed, boiled, or grilled. The fast food places, such as McDonald's and Burger King are much the same everywhere in the United States. They offer a pretty standard fare: hamburgers, French fries, and coke (Coca-Cola), at a pretty standard price. A meal will rarely exceed $4.00 per person. 163
Hamburgers are made from beef, not ham, and served in a round bun. They are often eaten with tomato, or lettuce, or onion, mustard, and ketchup. A hamburger with melted cheese is called a cheeseburger. There are also some other kinds of burgers with other names, such as the jumbo burger (very big), mushroom burger, or bacon burger, depending on the extra ingredients added. With so many people traveling in cars, fast food places can be found all along the highways. If you are in a hurry, you can drive round to a "drive through" window and pick up your food packed in a paper bag without leaving your car. Likewise, other fast food places may have "drive-in" facilities. A waiter will meet you in the restaurant's parking lot, take your order and deliver the food to your car, where you can eat in the relative comfort of the parking area. Along highways and in town, "diners" give you a fins opportunity to have a quick snack. They are small-size restaurants, traditionally shaped like a railroad car. Another option, the delis − short for delicatessen − offer sandwiches and assorted salads. Americans eat a lot of sandwiches, especially for lunch. They are made with two pieces of bread and a filling. Some common fillings are: tuna fish, eggs, ham, chicken, turkey, roast beef, cheese, and peanut butter and jelly. Some sandwiches arc served hot, for example, a hot roast beef sandwich. Another special type is the "club sandwich" which is made with three pieces of bread and two fillings between them. One common sandwich is called a BLT, which means bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Although the bill in delis may run as high as $ 8.00 per person, their advantage is quick service, and of course, as the name implies, the food is delicious. Another relatively inexpensive alternative is the gourmet takeout shop stocked with foods for home or picnic. Some places call themselves "family restaurants". This usually means home style cooking. The food is almost as reasonably priced as in delis or better cafeterias. In a cafeteria you walk through a line, choose your food, put it on a tray, pay at the end of the line, and carry your food to a table. Turning to foreign cuisine, New York City's excellent and inexpensive offerings include pizza and a wide choice of Chinese and Mexican food. Pizza comes in two varieties − thin-crust "Neapolitan" and thick-crust "Sicilian" − and is served by the slice or by the pie. The best Chinese food, of course, is in Chinatown. To snatch a quick 164
taste of Mexican cooking one may go to Taco Bell or Taco-Time, where you will be offered tacos, chunks of marinated and broiled meat rolled in tortillas (flat bread made from wheat or corn), or chili, a spiced ("hot") seasoned dish of beef, beans, chili peppers, and tomatoes.

English food. Having arrived at the restaurant they first went to the bar. CHARLES: There's some room on the bench by the fire-place. I'll go and order the drinks. What will you have? MARY: Sherry, please, for me. CHARLES: Sweet or dry? MARY: Dry, please. CHARLES: What about you. Alex? ALEX: A half of bitter.2 (The waiter brings the drinks) ALEX (looking at Charles sipping whisky): 1 will never understand you Englishmen. Sipping strong drinks as if you were having tea. Still when in Rome3… CHARLES (smiling and raising his glass): Cheers.. Here's to you. ALEX: Thank you. Here's to all of us. Having finished the drinks they passed into the dining-room.

ALEX: I'll have the clear soup, and steak and kidney pit to follow, please, WAITER (to Mary): I can recommend the chicken. It's fresh, not frozen„ and it is a specialty of the house.

LISTENING & READING Text 12: National cuisines, idea of Working in the tourism industry, you will need to understand and appreciate cultural differences and their impact on tourist behaviour and effective communication. This unit will help you develop your understanding of how globalization impacts on, and is impacted by, tourism. In spite of the process of globalization national ethnic cuisine is still alive and it continue to influence on tourism. Cuisines and nations are artifacts of human enterprise, will, and imagination. They refer ostensibly (как будто бы, якобы) to material things: to the earth, to the natural world, to particular geographical locales and the products of these places. In this sense, cuisines tell one something about food, and nations tell one something about places. Cuisines, too, are made up of earthly products, such as butter, beef, saffron, and garlic, much as nations inhabit physical localities, whether protruding landmasses, landlocked mountains, or chains of islands. In the modern period, however, foods have become associated with cuisines and places with nations. National cuisines are a product of the modern emphasis on national mind and mentality. In fact, the term "national cuisines" has become an almost exclusive means of organizing the link between food and place. Classifying a cuisine helps mark a geographical localization; it allows people to imagine national unity and to create convenient 174
categories for understanding food practices. National cuisine is a way of speaking about place, identity, and sovereignty. A national dish is a dish, food or a drink that is considered to represent a particular country, nation or region. A dish can become a national dish for a variety of reasons. It can be the national dish because it is a staple daily food for the majority of the population. It can also be the national dish because it represents the regions and ethnicities of the whole country. In addition, it can be the national dish because it incorporates locally produced ingredients. National dishes are part of a nation's identity and self-image. This is not a definitive list of national dishes, but rather a list of some foods that have been suggested to be national dishes. For examples, Australia − Meat pie, Roast lamb, Belarus − Draniki, China − Peking duck, Georgia − Khachapuri, khinkali, Greece − Fasolada, Moussaka, Hungary − Gulyás, Italy − Pasta, Polenta, Indonesia − Soto, Japan − Japanese curry, Ramen, Sushi, Kazakhstan − Beshbarmak, Poland − Bigos, Pierogi, Russia − pelmeni, Romania – Mămălig, Spain − Paella, tortilla española, Ukraine − Borscht, England − Fish and chips, United States − Apple pie, hamburger, Uzbekistan – Pilaf, Manty, and so on. National cuisine in restaurants. What cuisine produces the greatest impression on tourist? It is national cuisine. There are big groups of the most well known European, American, Oriental cuisines. The French cuisine (haute cuisine) has had the leading role in homes and restaurants since Peter the Great times. Italian cuisine is one of the most popular. Speaking about Italian cuisine it is impossible not to mention that it is famous for pasta dishes and internationally popular «pizza». Many fast food restaurants always offer a great choice of pasta dishes with different sauces as well as many kinds of pizza. North American cuisine has become popular in the former USSR countries lately. Restaurants with American cuisine offer meat dishes, vegetable dishes and fruit salads. Desserts, sweets, pastries are numerous: fruit juices, fresh fruit, fruit salads, whipped cream, biscuits, pies, and puddings. Latin-American cuisine is famous for its 175
spicy dishes with a lot of chili pepper. Worldwide popular TexMex dishes prepared by an American Chef are the pride of the restaurant «Cactus Jack» in Moscow. If you are interested in the culinary arts of Indo-China, we recommend you to visit popular Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Indonesian restaurants. Fish dishes sashimi and sushi are the specialties of Japanese restaurants. Despite the fact that the peoples of Indo-China eat practically every kind of food, in the culinary art they don't use European dairy products. The Japanese, Koreans, Chinese use little salt, but they use vinegar, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil and starch diluted in water as dressings. Caucasian cuisine has always been very popular in our countries. Juicy and aromatic shish-kebab at Georgian restaurants tastes as if it were cooked at the foot of the Caucasian mountains. The national cuisine is one of the most important factors for attraction of foreign tourists to the country. It is clear that the national features and traditions of the people are strongly kept in their cuisine. Therefore, representatives of other countries are always interested in the national traditional cuisine of host’s country. Certainly, the tourists who have arrived in Kazakhstan to wish taste the traditional local dishes. For more information, see http://www.enotes.com/food-encyclopedia/national-cuisines-idea
READING & SPEAKING Text 12.1: Traditional cuisine and typical dishes Kazakh Cuisine. Kazakh cuisine reflects the nature of its people, its history, customs and traditions. Kazakhs were traditionally nomads. This has influenced their food, clothing and traditions. Being nomadic, their national foods revolve around the meat, which was readily available from their herds. Also significant in its culture are the gathering of people for dastarkhan (served table in traditional mind) - both the chance encounters and formal celebrations relating to important life events. Both in the past and nowadays sheep were 176
killed to provide the meat for an important guest. Later, due to agriculture development, the Kazakhs began to use floury products. At present, Kazakhs cuisine includes a lot of vegetables and fruits. But we offer the following "excerpts" as a glimpse of the traditional food of Kazakhstan. It should be noted that food of Kazakhs is good adapted for the severe hot and dry climatic conditions of Kazakhstan.Since old times hospitality has been the most distinctive feature of the Kazakh people. A guest is always given a special welcome and offered the place of honor. Traditional Kazakh cuisine revolves around mutton and horse meat and as well as various milk products Meat in various forms has always been the primary ingredient of Kazakh cuisine, and traditional Kazakh cooking is based on boiling. Horse and mutton are the most popular forms of meat and are most often served in large uncut pieces, which have been boiled. Besbarmak -a dish consisting of boiled horse or mutton meat, is the most popular Kazakh dish. It is also called “five fingers” because of the way it is eaten. The chunks of boiled meat are cut and served by the host in order of the guests’ importance. Besbarmak is usually eaten with a boiled pasta sheet and a meat broth called shorpa, and is traditionally served in Kazakh bowls called “kese”. Beshbarmak is traditionally served according to the ritual. The koy-bash, or sheep's head boiled in a kasan, is put before the most honorable guest, usually the oldest one. This person cuts the bits and parts from the head and offers them to the other guests at the table. The younger adults often receive the bones of the legs and shoulders. Youths are given sheep's ear with the wishes to be careful; girls get a palate so as to be diligent. The other parts of the carcass are not considered any less meaningful. The most respected guests are treated to gammon and shank. A young bride receives the brisket; however, married women are given the neck-bones instead. Children are given the kidneys and heart, which are supposed to make them mature; however, children are not allowed to eat sheep's brain because it is believed to make them weak-willed. Other popular meat dishes are kazy, kuyrdak, palaw, manty. Kuyrdak -also spelled kuirdak, a dish made from roasted horse, sheep, or cow offal, such as heart, liver, kidneys, and other organs, 177
diced and served with onions and peppers. Another popular dish is palaw, which is made from meat fried with carrot and onion or garlic, then coocked with rice Manty dumplings archetypically consist of a spiced meat mixture, usually lamb or ground beef, in a dough wrapper, either boiled or steamed, spiced with black pepper, sometimes with the addition of chopped pumpkin or squash. Manti are cooked in a multi-level steamer and served topped with butter, sour cream, or onion (or garlic) sauce. Originally these dishes come from Uzbek cuisine, but Kazakh people like these dishes and cook them oftenly. Kazy - horse sausage. Kazy is a very dear and delicious meal but the tastiest part is the fat stomach. So, people serve kazy with karyn (stomach). In old times people liked to drink fresh meat broth with kurt. Even in winter after drinking this one felt full and warm. Baursaks are must-have food in every Kazakh family. Now, baursaks are not only cooked and eaten by the Kazakhs. Baursaks are served to tea, before main course, to mare’s milk (‘kumys’), to snacks, and to strong broth (‘sorpa’). It is both festive and everyday food liked by many, both young and old.The name of baursak originates from Kazakh words ‘baurlasu, baurlasuga, baur’, which mean ‘aspiration to unity, kinship and brotherhood’. Of course, baursaks are cooked as balls, however, one can not state that it is a traditional shape. There are triangle or square baursaks Kazakhs had diary products from goats, sheep, cows, horses and camels. Daily they milked sheep and goats; the cows twice a day, camels three or four times; and horses were milked six or seven times a day. Different foods were prepared from the milk. Kurt. This is a product prepared by the process of pressing thick sour cream. After boiling fermented sour milk, it was poured it into a sack or bag. Here it would get rid of yellow water. Then the women would make kurts and put on the ore (discussed in an earlier chapter). Kurt might be of different shapes and sizes; and that dried at the foot of a mountain would be white and salty.Kazakhs used to drink tea with kurt. They also spread butter on it and ate it when they had no bread. Irimzhik. Curd or cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is soft, so elder people preferred eating it. Beverages. Shubat (fermented camel's milk). Shubat was fat and nutritious and often served as a medicine. Kazakhs added camel's 178
milk to tea, which "burned the tea dark yellow, Shubat was considered superior to cow's milk. Kumys - this is a very respected beverage among Kazakhs; and also considered useful for health.In early times Kazakhs would measure their richness by how much kumys they processed in a year. They'd say: "This family has twelve female horses, and thus became rich". Kumys is very good for everyone's health, and many people wrote about it. Airan–sour milk. In early times Kazakhs ate light food, mostly drinking airan and eating kurt. Typically they drank airan after eating meat and before going to bed. Today's Kazakh cuisine includes traditional Kazakh dishes as well as Uzbek, Uigur, Russian, Tatar, Korean dishes that the Kazakhs like. Today, the range of ingredients available locally has considerably widened and influenced the national cuisine accordingly. Traditionally Kazakh cuisine was mostly based on meat and milk products. But more recently vegetables, fruits, fish, seafood, baked dishes and sweets have been added to the list of delights Kazakhs offer to their guests. Russian Cuisine. Original and varied, Russian cuisine is famous for exotic soups, cabbage shchi and solyanka, which is made1 assorted meats. Russians are great lovers of pelmeni, да11 Siberian meat pies boiled in broth. Every housewife of any experience has her own recipes - pies, pickles, and sauerkraut. Even more varied is the сhoice of recipes for mushrooms, one of the most abundant and nourishing gifts of our woods. They are fried, pickled, salted and boiled. As good whiskey shall come from Scotland, and port am Portugal, so Russian wheat vodka is the best in the world. We have an amazing variety to offer, from-the clear, colorless Moskovskaya and Stolichnaya to all kinds of bitters with herbs and spices. Of our folk soft drinks", kvass is the best known. It is made of brown bread or rye flour. If you add it to chopped-fup meat and vegetables, you get okroshka, an exquisite |cold soup. The Russian people have always been gourmets. Many names of Russian dishes and liquors have become international. For example: vodka, blini, piroshki, pelmeni. Many of the foods that are considered in the West to be traditionally Russian actually come from the Franco-Russian cuisine of the 18th and 19th centuries, and 179

LISTENING & READING Text 13. Safety and environmental conditions In economics, restaurants are the end of the supply chain in the food industry. There is usually too much competition in most cities barriers to entry are relatively low, which means that for most restaurants, it is hard to make a profit. In most First World industrialized centres, restaurants are heavily regulated to ensure the health and safety f the customers. 190
The typical restaurant owner faces many obstacles to success, including raising initial capital, finding competent and skilled labour, maintaining consistent and excellent food quality, maintaining high standards of fety, and the constant hassle of minimising potential liability for any poisoning or accidents that may occur. This is why restaurants seem come and go all the time. First of all, life safety, health and property of guests both in normal conditions and in extreme situations should be provided in catering enterprises. The building should be emergency exits, stairs, well noticeable information signs that provide free guidance of guests. Catering must be located in favorable environmental conditions. Food service shall be equipped with alarm and fire protection systems provided by the Rules of Fire Safety. At the food enterprises must be respected sanitary norms and rules set by the Sanitary&Epidemiological Survey in the premises clean, sanitary and production equipment, waste management and effective protection against insects and rodents. Safety in the food service enterprises begins with the design of kitchens and other technological areas. Sanitary Rules and Norms recommend a restaurant kitchen take half or even two thirds of its area. Lack of industrial premises violates process without which comply with food safety is impossible. This applies to the product storage arrangement. In the kitchen it should be enough equipment, including refrigerators ensuring the safety of food quality. To ensure the safety of clients, you must also pay attention to the cleanliness of tableware, cutlery and glassware. Washing in the dishwasher at high temperature using special detergents must be ensureв clean and disinfection. Specific safety requirements are imposed on the maintenance personnel. First of all, all employees should be trained in safe working practices, to know and comply with health and fire safety. All employees of the company shall be subject to periodic medical control. and take a course on hygienic preparation. Restaurants that sincerely care about the safety of their customers organize regular workshops for additional kitchen staff. The purpose of these workshops is to remind staff to follow the rules of sanitation and hygiene and thus preventing the risk of infection. The staff, time by time, at least once every one-two years pass examinations in 191
sanitary minimum. A personal medical book for each employee is necessary (the results of medical control, details of past infectious diseases. To work at the company was not available to individuals that are the source of infectious diseases. The most common way of spreading food infections in enterprises is dirty hands of staff. Therefore, you should control over the number and frequency of hand washing kitchen staff (cooks, their helpers, waiters, etc.). Use ordinary soap is not enough. Need a special disinfectant soap or detergent. Drying should be used with disposable towels. For example, McDonald's has strict rules for sanitation, which are primarily stipulate the 10 cases where staff must wash their hands: 1) After smoking; 2) After a meal; 3) After visiting the toilet; 4) Before starting work; 5) After washing the floors and change waist cisterns; 6) After touching the uniforms; 7) After sneezing and coughing; 8) After changing the working area 9) After handling (touching) money; 10) After touching hair or face. In addition, any employee who is on shift (смена), should wash their hands every half an hour and note it in a special checklists. The water temperature should be +43 ° C… + 46° C. Duration of hand washing to the elbow (локоть) at least 30 seconds with antibacterial soap and followed by treatment with a special disinfectant solution. A number of operations associated with the direct contact with food at McDonald's chains performed using disposable gloves. What are McDonald’s heath and safety rules? McDonald’s has very strict health and safety policies and procedures. All employees receive specific health and safety training prior to starting work and again throughout their employment. McDonald’s also has regular checks in place to ensure that the company fully complies with its duties under safety legislation. Food safety is one of today's major concerns. One important factor in food safety is cleaning and sanitation of the equipment used in the food, dairy, beverage, brewery and hospitality industry. 192
Cleanliness is a relevant factor; the public consumes more and more prepared or semi-prepared foods. The consequences of contamination can be catastrophic for the public and the economic and legal implications for the producer can be devastating. There have been several large and medium size enterprises bankrupted by a national recall of their contaminated products. This experience was gained with the practical and technical experience of many years working on real cases, improving in general the cleanliness and sanitation of the equipment where the food or beverage was prepared and packed. Know and apply these principles you will reduce costs and improve cleanliness and sanitation. The variety of food sanitation equipment. There are hundreds of types of equipment on the market for food sanitizers. Sanitation Tools has a wide selection of equipment, from hand sanitizers to surface sanitizers. Some restaurant has food sanitation supplies. Super Cleaning Systems has heavy equipment for foodservice businesses. For example, in-Beverage.com offers a list of sanitation equipment for you to compare. Outdoors has sanitation items for outdoor food service needs. There are both local and national rules for food safety and sanitation. Find out the rules for your business location before selecting food sanitation products. Get enough equipment and supplies to meet the rules for your business, but don't buy more than is needed. The USDA has food safety background information to review. Food and Beverage Processing . For over 65 years, NSF International has provided food safety and quality solutions to help organizations increase product quality and safety, protect their brands and reduce operating costs. Across the supply chain, our food safety offerings deliver value-added assistance in helping you meet Federal requirements and improve food safety systems beyond what is required by regulation.

NSF food safety offerings deliver value-added assistance to companies in meeting Federal requirements and improving their food safety systems beyond regulation. Companies 193
may select from training and education, audit, certificate, product approval, and registration services as needed. The Global Food Safety Initiative. In today's global environment, food safety is more important than ever. Safeguarding the food supply is a complex and challenging responsibility. As a result, many of the world's largest food companies, retailers, and manufacturers have set higher food safety standards, choosing to mandate supplier compliance with one of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)* standards. The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) was established to ensure confidence in the delivery of safer food to consumers, while continuing to improve food safety supply chain management. GFSI provides a benchmark to ensure consistency between countries and the products that have been certified. These global food safety standards address food, packaging, consumer goods, storage, and distribution for primary producers, manufacturers, and distribution. Food safety. Foodborne illness, commonly called "food poisoning", is caused by bacteria, toxins, viruses, parasites, and prions. Roughly 7 million people die of food poisoning each year, with about 10 times as many suffering from a non-fatal version. The two most common factors leading to cases of bacterial foodborne illness are cross-contamination of ready-to-eat food from other uncooked foods and improper temperature control. Less commonly, acute adverse reactions can also occur if chemical contamination of food occurs, for example from improper storage, or use of non-food grade soaps and disinfectants. Food can also be adulterated by a very wide range of articles (known as "foreign bodies") during farming, manufacture, cooking, packaging, distribution, or sale. These foreign bodies can include pests or their droppings, hairs, cigarette butts, wood chips, and all manner of other contaminants. It is possible for certain types of food to become contaminated if stored or presented in an unsafe container, such as a ceramic pot with lead-based glaze. Food poisoning has been recognized as a disease since as early as Hippocrates. The sale of rancid, contaminated, or adulterated food was commonplace until the introduction of hygiene, refrigeration, and vermin controls in the 19th century. Discovery of techniques for killing bacteria using heat, and other microbiological studies by scientists such as Louis Pasteur, contributed to the modern sanitation standards that are ubiquitous in developed nations today. This was 194
further underpinned by the work of Justus von Liebig, which led to the development of modern food storage and food preservation methods. In more recent years, a greater understanding of the causes of food-borne illnesses has led to the development of more systematic approaches such as the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), which can identify and eliminate many risks. Recommended measures for ensuring food safety include maintaining a clean preparation area with foods of different types kept separate, ensuring an adequate cooking temperature, and refrigerating foods promptly after cooking. Foods that spoil easily, such as meats, dairy, and seafood, must be prepared a certain way to avoid contaminating the people for whom they are prepared. As such, the general rule of thumb is that cold foods (such as dairy products) should be kept cold and hot foods (such as soup) should be kept hot until storage. Cold meats, such as chicken, that are to be cooked should not be placed at room temperature for thawing, at the risk of dangerous bacterial growth, such as Salmonella or E. coli. Salmonella bacteria is a common cause of foodborne illness, particularly in undercooked chicken and chicken eggs. Cultural and religious diets. Dietary habits are the habitual decisions a person or culture makes when choosing what foods to eat. Many cultures hold some food preferences and some food taboos. Dietary choices can also define cultures and play a role in religion. For example, only kosher foods are permitted by Judaism, halal foods by Islam, and in Hinduism beef is restricted. In addition, the dietary choices of different countries or regions have different characteristics. This is highly related to a culture's cuisine. Food safety is a scientific discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent foodborne illness. This includes a number of routines that should be followed to avoid potentially severe health hazards. Food can transmit disease from person to person as well as serve as a growth medium for bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Debates on genetic food safety include such issues as impact of genetically modified food on health of further generations and genetic pollution of environment, which can destroy natural biological diversity. In developed countries there are intricate 195
standards for food preparation, whereas in lesser developed countries the main issue is simply the availability of adequate safe water, which is usually a critical item. In theory food poisoning is 100% preventable. Five key principles: The five key principles of food hygiene, according to The World Health Organization (WHO), are: 1. Prevent contaminating food with pathogens spreading from people, pets, and pests. 2. Separate raw and cooked foods to prevent contaminating the cooked foods. 3. Cook foods for the appropriate length of time and at the appropriate temperature to kill pathogens. 4. Store food at the proper temperature. 5. Do use safe water and cooked materials. ISO 22000 is a standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization dealing with food safety. This is a general derivative of ISO 9000. ISO 22000 standard: The ISO 22000 international standard specifies the requirements for a food safety management system that involves interactive communication, system management, prerequisite programs, HACCP principles. Basic food safety training includes: Understanding the hazards associated with the main types of food and the conditions to prevent the growth of bacteria which can cause food poisoning The problems associated with product packaging such as leaks in vacuum packs, damage to packaging or pest infestation, as well as problems and diseases spread by pests. Safe food handling. This includes safe procedures for each process such as receiving, re-packing, food storage, preparation and cooking, cooling and re-heating, displaying products, handling products when serving customers, packaging, cleaning and sanitizing, pest control, transport and delivery. Also the causes of cross contamination. Catering for customers who are particularly at risk of food-borne illness, including allergies and intolerance. Correct cleaning and sanitizing procedures, cleaning products and their correct use, and the storage of cleaning items such as brushes, mops and cloths. Personal hygiene, hand washing, illness, and protective clothing. 196
READING & SPEAKING Text 13.1: Consumer tips: how to keep food safe 1. One of the simplest measures that any person can take to prevent the spread of foodborne illness is to properly wash his or her hands before preparing or eating any meal. Many people who believe they are adequately washing their hands are sorely mistaken. According to a study conducted by the American Society of Microbiology, 97% of females and 92% of males said they washed their hands, but those numbers turned out to be 75% of females and 58% of males upon observation. A proper hand-washing technique suggested by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services includes using soap and warm water; washing vigorously for 10-20 seconds, making sure to reach all surfaces of the hands including the wrists, between the fingers, and under the finger nails; rinsing well; drying hands with a paper towel; and using a paper towel to turn off the water. It is certainly important to wash your hands before preparing a meal and eating, but hands should also be washed after using the restroom, coughing/sneezing, touching cuts or skin infections, handling raw meat, and touching pets or other animals. Almost half the cases of foodborne illnesses could be prevented by better hand-washing by food handlers. In addition, hand sanitizer is a helpful follow-up to hand-washing, but it should never be used to replace this valuable technique. 2. Some foods should simply never be ingested in the first place because they have such a high risk of containing harmful bacteria that can make people ill. These foods include raw milk, unpasteurized dairy products, unpasteurized juices (such as fresh apple cider), raw meat, and raw cookie dough. 3. In cases of suspected food spoilage, food should never simply be tasted, smelled, or eye-balled in order to determine its safety. It is true that in some cases, the presence of mold or other growths may indicate that a food has reached its expiration date and should not be consumed. However, some foods may look and smell fine, but if they have been stored at room temperature for over 2 hours, microscopic bacteria may have been allowed to grow. The safe temperature for 197
foods in refrigerators is between 2°C (35°F) and 7°C (45°F), and freezers should be kept at -18°C (0°F) or below. 4. It is not safe to let meats thaw on the counter all day, because this allows any germs present on the food to thrive. Safer alternatives to this practice include thawing the food under running water (21°C (70°F) or below) for less than 2 hours, placing the food in the refrigerator to thaw, or thawing the food in the microwave as part of the cooking process. 5. It is also important to make sure that raw meats are cooked to the appropriate internal temperature before they are consumed. Safe internal temperatures for various meats include 74°C (165°F) for poultry, 68°C (155°F) for ground meat, and 63°C (145°F) for fish and pork. It is not sufficient to judge the doneness of meat by its internal color. According to a study performed by the USDA, “25% of hamburgers with a brown internal color were not cooked to the proper temperature.” Instead of simply eyeballing the meat, it is essential to use a meat thermometer to judge the safety of consuming the food. 6. The cooking process is often the time that foodborne pathogens are allowed to enter the food we eat because of the prevalence of cross contamination. Cross contamination occurs when a person handling raw meats, eggs, fish, or other foods containing harmful pathogens touches cooking utensils, cutting boards, or cooking surfaces and spreads the pathogens to ready-to-eat foods in the process. This mode of transmission can be interrupted by washing hands after handling raw foods, washing utensils and cutting boards that have come in contact with raw foods, and disinfecting counter surfaces frequently. 7. Leftovers are ideally stored in the refrigerator in shallow containers (2 inches tall or less) so that the cooling process can be accelerated and the buildup of harmful bacteria can be prevented. Storing foods in larger containers may keep foods warm and allow harmful bacteria to grow.

LISTENING & READING Text 14: Shopping Shops play an important role in our life. People cannot do without them. When people want to buy something,- they go to shops where various goods are sold. Through the shop-window we can see what is sold in this or that shop. At the grocer's you can buy sugar, tea, coffee, salt, pepper, ham, bacon, sausages, frankfurters and so on. Bread is sold at the baker's, 206
meat at the butcher's. We go to the greengrocer's for vegetables and fruit. Cakes and sweets are sold at the confectioner's. When we want to buy clothes, we go to men's and ladies clothes shop. We buy boots and shoes at the footwear shop. We buy jewelry at the jeweler's. We buy books at the bookseller's. A salesman, salesgirl or saleswoman usually stand behind the counter. The cashier sits at the cash desk. The salesman or salesgirl weighs the goods, which are not packed on the scales, and tells the price. People who often come to buy different things in the shop are called customers. Some shops may have many departments. These shops are called department stores or supermarkets. Supermarkets are self-service stores with departments for different food products. Supermarkets sell thousands of food products: meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, canned groceries, bakery items, delicatessen items, and frozen foods. Some supermarkets also have seafood and alcohol. In some supermarkets you can also buy household goods. The supermarkets are located in shopping centres or malls and along m.ain roads. Supermarkets are popular because they save time, have low prices and variety of products in one place. There you can buy almost everything you need. These shops are called self-service shops because there are no salespersons there but only cashiers at the cash desks. The customers choose the goods they want to buy and pay for them at the cash desk. At the food shop. People do shopping almost every day. There is a big supermarket not far from my place. It's a self-service shop. Why do people like shopping in this self-service shop? There are three main reasons for this: it doesn't take them much time, there is a wide choice of all possible products in this shop and the prices are not very high. Customers can buy all the necessary foodstuffs there: bread, milk, meat, fish, grocery, sausages, sweets, vegetables and fruit. Everything on the counters1 looks very attractive and the sales staff are very polite. When customers come into the shop, they take a food basket and choose the products they want to buy. When they put everything they want into the basket they come i up to the cashier's desk. There is a computer with a laser ' scanner that reads and sums up the prices on packed 207
goods at the cashier's desk. The saleswoman tells how much to pay. The customers pay the money and leave the shop. There are several aisles in the shop: fruit and vegetables, meat and fish counters and others. The green grocery and fruit aisles offer a great variety of fresh and canned vegetables and fruit.

There are fewer neighborhood shops and many stores are moving out to suburban shopping centers or malls, so a car is essential. In the winter, enclosed malls are delightful in the colder parts of the country; in the summer their air conditioning is pleasant. Shopping is generally easier and more relaxing than it is in Europe. Shops are more spacious and less crowded, and shopping hours are longer. Many shops are open evenings and Sundays, and some grocery stores are open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Shop assistants are generally friendly and helpful. Sometimes they are too helpful; they pounce on you as soon as you walk through the door. And sometimes they are too friendly; they might inquire after your health and hope you have a nice day when you leave. But, generally speaking, they give you good service. One difficulty about shopping in America is the sales tax. The tax rate varies from place to place, and the goods that are to be taxed also vary. Thus, prices shown and advertised are always before the tax is added. In other words, you often have to pay more than you expect, 213
and it is no good getting out 5.00 to pay for something that costs 4.95, because the actual cost will be something like 5.25. Another thing is, if you hear that something is "on sale", this does not merely mean that it is being sold. It means that it is being sold at a reduced price. TEXT WORK 14.1 1.

This text is aimed at providing a platform to showcase the latest machinery, equipment, raw materials and accessories required by the food and beverages manufacturing industry. There are many different types of equipment used for cooking. Ovens are mostly hollow devices that get very hot (up to 500 °F) and are used for baking or roasting and offer a dry-heat cooking method. Different cuisines will use different types of ovens; for example, Indian culture uses a Tandoor oven, which is a cylindrical clay oven which operates at a single high temperature. Western kitchens use variable temperature convection ovens, conventional ovens, toaster ovens, or non-radiant heat ovens like the microwave oven. Classic Italian cuisine includes the use of a brick oven 224
containing burning wood. Ovens may be wood-fired, coal-fired, gas, electric, or oil-fired. Various types of cook-tops are used as well. They carry the same variations of fuel types as the ovens mentioned above. Cook-tops are used to heat vessels placed on top of the heat source, such as a sauté pan, sauce pot, frying pan, or pressure cooker. These pieces of equipment can use either a moist or dry cooking method and include methods such as steaming, simmering, boiling, and poaching for moist methods, while the dry methods include sautéing, pan frying, and deep-frying. In addition, many cultures use grills for cooking. A grill operates with a radiant heat source from below, usually covered with a metal grid and sometimes a cover. An open pit barbecue in the American south is one example along with the American style outdoor grill fueled by wood, liquid propane, or charcoal along with soaked wood chips for smoking. A Mexican style of barbecue is called barbacoa, which involves the cooking of meats such as whole sheep over an open fire. In Argentina, an asado (Spanish for "grilled") is prepared on a grill held over an open pit or fire made upon the ground, on which a whole animal or smaller cuts are grilled. Global Distribution Systems (GDS) as developing technology in hospitality and F&B Management. A system containing information about availability, prices, and related services for Airlines, Car Companies, Hotel Companies, Rail Companies, etc. and through which reservations can be made and tickets can be issued. A GDS also makes some or all of these functions available to subscribing travel agents, booking engines, and airlines. The GDS leaders are Amadeus, Apollo, Galileo, Worldspan, Sabre, Abacus, etc. These systems IT Groups are a transaction processors for the global travel and tourism industry.These systems use wide range of abbreviation for booking and reservation flights, hotels and meals (food and beverage) throughout the world. What does hotel abbreviation and meal plan mean? These terms indicate which meal plan is included with your hotel accommodations. These are all terms to describe the board basis of the hotel: Self Catering (SC) means that no meals are included in the cost of your accommodation/holiday package, but you will be provided with catering facilities in your accommodation to cook light 225
meals. RO - This stands for "Room Only". You can expect a room without any meals to be provided. BB (or B&B) - This stands for "Bed and Breakfast". You can expect a room, plus a breakfast in the morning. Drinks are not included. Bed and Breakfast includes a room with a cold or hot buffet breakfast meal or a Continental Breakfast consisting of coffee or tea served with toast or muffins and sometimes fruit. HB - This stands for "Half Board". You can expect a room, plus a breakfast in the morning and usually an evening meal. Drinks are not included. A few hotels will allow you to substitue the evening meal for a midday meal in the form of a packed lunch, but this is unusual. Please check with the individual hotel if you require this. Half Board includes Breakfast and usually a five-course dinner. Beverages are not included. FB - This stands for "Full Board". You can expect a room, plus the three main meals of the day to be provided. Drinks are not included. Full Board consists of all three meals, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with your accommodations. AI - This stands for "All Inclusive". You can expect a room, plus the three main meals of the day to be provided. Drinks are included, but the drinks offered will vary depending on the hotel. In addition to this, a range of activities Glossary of Important Terms. Planners who are in charge of coordinating food and beverage keep track of event attendees' feedback and participation history in order to increase registration rates .... The term commonly used within the travel industry refers to a hotel and meal plan. The Modified American Plan, sometimes abbreviated as MAP in hotel listings, means that the quoted rate includes two meals a day, including breakfast and either lunch or dinner. In the Modified American plan, these meals are provided by the hotel dining room. Some hotels offer guests the option of being on the American Plan, a Modified American Plan, or paying a la carte for food consumed in their facility. Travelers choosing a hotel in a remote location where there are not many restaurants − or none at all − need to stay at a hotel that offers at least a Modified American plan. In Europe and some other countries the Modified American Plan is referred to as Half Pension or Half Board. The Continental Plan, sometimes abbreviated as CP in hotel listings, indicates that the quoted rate includes a continental 226
breakfast. A continental breakfast normally consists of coffee or tea, juice, and bread. The bread may be as simple as a loaf or as appealing as a basket of freshly baked croissants, scones, and muffins. At some facilities, yogurt and fresh fruit may also be available. The Continental Plan breakfast does not include cooked foods, such as pancakes or eggs. Under the continental plan, diners often find breakfast is selfserve, although many hotels have a waiter available to pour and refill beverages. Although there is no fee for breakfast when you stay in a hotel on this plan, it's considerate to leave a small tip if you've been served by a waiter. Aside from breakfast, all other food provided by the hotel is billed. The European Plan, sometimes abbreviated as EP in hotel listings, indicates that the quoted rate is strictly for lodging and does not include any meals. All food provided by the hotel is billed separately. Taxes and tips are usually additional as well.
