What brings a fantastic family gathering, a formal conference, or an anniversary function together? Isn't it food? A well-thought-out dining menu, tastefully presented tasty dishes, and a welcoming atmosphere can elevate any event to new heights. If you're a hotel management student, you're probably already aware of the importance of the hotel's food in each of the domains you serve.

It all boils down to the food presentation and flavour, whether it is breakfast for guests or a menu for a special event held at the hotel. To make things a little more interesting for you, here are the top 5 interesting food facts you probably didn't know about. Let's get started.

 

1. Paris is the Birthplace of the Concept of Fine Dining 

It all started in 1782 in Paris, with the opening of a new restaurant called La Grande Taverne de Londres. Along with a diverse menu, the restaurant pioneered the notion of luxury fine dining, which has since spread throughout the world. Antoine Beauvilliers, the restaurant's owner, summed up the four essential aspects of fine dining. Are you aware of these four components that define fine dining as a concept as a hotel management student? If you haven't seen them yet, they're as follows:

  • Excellent cooking (as it all comes down to taste)
  • An elegant eating area (because ambience sets the mood)
  • Astute waiters (hospitality matters a lot, if not the most)
  • Well-stocked wine cellar (wine is a must, especially in Europe and the Americas)

Antoine Beauvilliers created standards for how the hosts and Maitre'ds (lord of the house) should act and behave themselves, in addition to combining the fine dining aspects.

 

2. World’s first-ever cookbook was written on clay

Cookbooks have been documented as far back as 1700 BC. The Yale cookbook tablets, which are thought to have been composed for royal households, have been unearthed in China. The tablets, which are inscribed in cuneiform script and contain recipes for a range of foods but no directions, are intriguing.

Extra fact: The first cookbook was published in Boston in 1896. Fannie Merritt wrote the cookbook for Farmer's Original Boston Cooking School. The cookbook is also available for purchase now.

 

3. Packaged and homemade cheese are different, why?

While homemade cheese is created entirely of milk, processed and packaged cheese contains emulsifiers, fats, and flavourings in addition to the milk. This pre-shredded, boxed cheese is easy to pour and does not coagulate as homemade cheese does.

 

4. Australia has Fruit Salad Trees

Yes, you read that correctly. Multi-grafted trees from the same family are being cultivated in Australia using biotechnology techniques. These fruit salad trees produce a variety of fruits with the same flavour, ripening period, and look like the original. They are ideal for balconies and backyards because they can be grown in pots or gardens.

 

5. German chocolate cake originated in Texas, not Germany

Sam German, a guy from Texas, wrote the recipe for German chocolate cake in 1852. As a result, the cake was named after him, despite the fact that it had nothing to do with Germany. Hawaiian pizza was also created in Canada.
