What dishes should not be ordered when eating in a restaurant? What are the taboos when ordering dishes when eating in a restaurant?

In daily life, many people often go out to eat, especially when colleagues or friends get together. There are certain rules for ordering food in a restaurant, especially the choice of dishes. You need to carefully consider which dishes you can order and which dishes you should not order. So what dishes should you not order when you go out to eat? Let's take a closer look!

What dishes should you never order when you go to a restaurant?

Smashed cucumber, stir-fried beans, and three fresh vegetables.

Whenever there is a festival, Chinese New Year or a gathering with friends, we always like to go out to celebrate. One of the important reasons is that the dishes cooked by the restaurant are shiny and beautiful, taste good, and are very face-saving when treating friends, and they also taste good when you eat them yourself. So when we go to a restaurant to eat, the last thing we should order is three fresh dishes, stir-fried beans, and smashed cucumbers. Why? This requires analyzing the specific reasons from the following aspects.

1. Oil and fat

The three fresh dishes and stir-fried beans in restaurants are all fried. Potatoes, eggplants, and beans are first fried in oil until soft, and then fried again with oil and seasonings. This will not only cause excessive intake of fat, but also will not be thrown away after being used once, but will be reused. The oil is repeatedly heated and reused, which is not only unhealthy, but also has a great risk of disease.

2. Economic aspects

The cost of the smashed cucumber is less than one yuan, but it can be sold for at least 10 yuan in a restaurant. The main thing is that we can easily make a delicious smashed cucumber at home: flatten the cucumber and cut it diagonally, add minced garlic, oyster sauce, seafood soy sauce, a small amount of sugar, vinegar, and chili oil and mix well to make a delicious smashed cucumber. If you eat it in a restaurant, it will be less fresh.

In addition, there are some soup dishes that taste rich and delicious, as if all the nutrients have been stewed out. In fact, the restaurant's method is to stew one ingredient, such as lamb rack and pork bones, and continue to stew it the next day, adding a lot of seasonings, and most of the nutrients have already been lost.

What are the dishes you should never order when dining out?

1. Dishes with cheap ingredients and simple cooking methods are the last thing you should order in a restaurant

Such as fried celery with vermicelli, fried shredded potatoes, fried bean sprouts and dried tofu, steamed radish, egg soup, etc.

It only costs 1-2 yuan to buy the ingredients and 10 minutes to make it yourself. But if you order it in a restaurant, 12 yuan is the "lowest price", which is not worth the money.

Potatoes are 1 yuan per pound; celery and bean sprouts are 2 yuan per pound.

Simple home-cooked meals do not require any technical skills. As long as you can cook, these operations are "too" easy to do. It does not show the cooking requirements of eating in a restaurant.

2. Dishes that are difficult to guarantee hygiene should not be ordered in restaurants

Such as dipping pickles.

Most of the pickled vegetables are leafy vegetables that require a lot of water to wash. These vegetables are easily contaminated and are very difficult to wash at home. Not to mention using special washing methods, most restaurants cannot afford the water.

The water price for residents is 2.8 yuan per cubic meter, and the water price for the catering industry is 4.6 yuan per cubic meter. Which restaurant would be willing to use "running water" to wash vegetables? The hygiene of pickled vegetables is difficult to guarantee, so don't order this kind of dish in a restaurant.

This kind of pickled vegetable can be bought home, washed carefully, and put on the table without cooking. It is a "dish" and is easier to make than quick dishes.

3. Dishes that use repeated amounts of oil should not be ordered in restaurants

Such as fried meatballs, French fries, fried fish, boiled fish (meat), etc.

Repeated use of oil will produce harmful carcinogenic substances such as "benzopyrene". Repeated use of oil will cause the oil to be oxidized, and eating too much of it can easily cause aging.

4. Don’t order dishes with unfresh ingredients or unguaranteed quality in restaurants.

Such as spicy crab, spicy fried clams, braised prawns, and braised pork (series), etc.

For example, fresh ingredients such as seafood will be cooked by steaming. If the ingredients are not fresh, some unscrupulous merchants will use "covering and disguising" cooking methods. This is quite deceptive, so don't be fooled.

Some meat ingredients can be reprocessed and transformed using special techniques. Unsold cooked food is pieced together and some are even spoiled. This kind of food should not be ordered in restaurants. The stronger the taste, the stronger the concealment.

What are the rules for ordering food in a restaurant?

1. It is extremely easy to cook, steam and fry by yourself. You can just buy the ingredients and do it yourself!

Such as boiled duck eggs, boiled prawns, steamed crabs, steamed scallops, steamed clams, fried shredded potatoes, mixed shredded tofu, etc.

2. Do not order dishes that are prepared in an unhygienic or unhealthy manner; do not order dishes that use unfresh ingredients; and do not order dishes that use ingredients that are easily concealed.

Such as fried or repeatedly fried food; non-seasonal ingredients; stale seafood.

3. Don’t order anything that’s super expensive, especially if the price/performance ratio is ridiculous.

For example, a fish costs 12 yuan, but the restaurant sells it for 48 yuan; a pound of vegetables costs 4 yuan, but the restaurant sells it for 20 yuan.
