Photo: Dreamstime Let's start with the fact that the tables for the buffet should be higher than normal dining. If there is no special high table, dishes with snacks should be placed on stands (pedestals) or laid out in flat serving vases. The buffet table does not require a complete set of devices (for example, knives), therefore each dish must be of a certain size: for one bite. The lack of devices is also compensated by special plastic skins "atle" (in extreme cases - wooden toothpicks), which are directly involved in serving. Food should be “comfortable.” In addition to elegant disposable tableware, special holders for glasses, which are mounted on a plate, are also welcome. Otherwise, guests will have to sadly moan around the room, looking for a free-standing rack. And the third rule: buffet dishes should be beautifully decorated. Shop cutting here will not do. Hedgehog monster from boiled sausage with red currant eyes is not necessary to collect, but the appearance of appetizers should be treated with more attention than the standard menu. Beautiful chips of butter, curly cutting of vegetables, a thoughtful combination of colors. There are the following options for stand-up snacks:
- cold appetizers on skewers: cheese with grapes, boiled tongue with olives, cherry tomatoes, gherkins, salted fish, etc .;
- canape: snack sandwiches on small slices of unbaked bread (as an option - crackers, cookies), fillers can be cheese, meat, fish; canapés should be multi-layered (but easy to handle), decorated with greens, slices of fresh or pickled vegetables;
- stuffed snacks:boiled eggs (chicken or quail), unsweetened profiteroles, flour or cheese tartlets and some vegetables (for example, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados) can act as a basis; fillers - caviar, potato salad, liver pate, cheese mousse, or poultry, seafood;
- rolls - they can be rolled up from a variety of products: from thin pita bread, pancakes, fried eggplants, ham, bacon;
- pies - yeast, puff, sandy, with cabbage, mushrooms, meat, but it really should be small pies.
In addition to pies as hot appetizers onReceptional dishes such as juliens, chills, meatballs, small skewers on wooden skewers (for example, fried peeled prawns or chicken breast slices) are appropriate. It is only necessary to remember that sauces are obligatory for kebabs. A hot snack can be a multi-layered pancake cake, which is only necessarily divided into miniature portions. In the buffet table, cheeses and fruits are not offered (because they have already served as cold appetizers), but coffee and tea served small cakes and sweets such as truffles. Reception - this is very convenient. In addition to saving time and money, this table option also implies economical use of space. This solution is especially successful for office parties.
