Posted by atom

Definition of food:

Food is any substance, usually composed primarily of carbohydrates, fats, water and/or proteins that can be eaten or drunk by an animal or human being for nutrition, development of body, protection from diseases and pleasure. Food may be sourced from plants, animals or other categories such as fungus or fermented products like alcohol.

An airline or In-flight meal is a meal served to passengers on board a commercial airlines. These meals are prepared by airline catering services. The first kitchens for serving meals in flight were established by United Airlines in 1936. These meals vary widely in quality and quantity across different airline companies and classes of travel. They range from a simple beverage in short-haul economy class to a seven-course gourmet meal in long-haul first class.

Definition of Menu:

A menu is a printed brochure or a sheet of paper or cardboard on which names of the dishes available for serving are written in succession (sequence wise) for a specific meal. A menu may be a la carte or table d'hôte.

"Menu" can also be used in a more general sense, as synonymous with diet, the selection of foods available generally to a particular location or culture.

A LA CARTE MENU:

À la carte or a la carte is a French expression meaning "from the card", and it is used in restaurant terminology in one of two ways:

* It may refer to a menu of items priced and ordered separately rather than selected from a list of preset multi-course meals at fixed prices (see Table d'hôte).

* It may designate the option to order a main course item along with the choice of an accompanied side dish included with the dish, at no extra charge.
