MENU MAKING AND SPECIMEN MENUS

Origin, Use and Compilation of Menus

CHAPTER LXVII

Menus.—The successful compilation of menus, which to the inexperienced presents many difficulties, requires much more than a superficial knowledge of the materials used in cooking, and their method of preparation and serving. The following pages should afford ample assistance to those who desire to know how to compile and arrange menus in their correct form, and in the succeeding pages specimen menus of diverse kinds are given.

In considering the three chief points of a menu, the first, the materials to be provided, depends upon the occasion, the season, and the number of persons to be provided for. The more elaborate the meal, the more difficult is the task of selecting dishes which, while they differ from one another in material, appearance and flavour, will yet, when blended together, form a harmonious whole. Nothing can be more unsatisfactory than a series of badly assorted dishes selected without adequate consideration for variety in composition, flavour and colour.

Dishes appropriate to the season should also be selected, for when food materials are plentiful they are comparatively good and cheap. Moreover, a larger proportion of fruits and salads, and light dishes generally, should be introduced in summer, while in colder weather more substantial food will be found acceptable.

The success of a dinner does not depend upon the number of dishes introduced. It is far better to have fewer courses well cooked and well served than an elaborate pretentious badly-cooked meal. With reference to the dishes, there are certain rules which must at all times be observed. The inexperienced are apt to forget that if two soups are served they must be entirely opposite in character and consistency; that two brown or white sauces may not follow each other; and that each dish should vary in colour and taste from that served before and after it.

Origin of Menus.—The menu is said to have originated in the reign of Henry VIII, at a banquet given in 1541 by the Duke of Brunswick. It is recorded on good authority that some of the guests sitting near His Grace noticed that he, from time to time, consulted a piece of paper which lay on the table by his side. One, more curious than the rest, ventured to ask the reason, whereupon the Duke explained that it was a list of the dishes to be served, and which he consulted, just as we do now, in order to reserve his appetite for those dishes he liked best. The idea greatly pleased the guests, and soon became generally known and adopted. For many years the menus must have resembled the smaller play-bills formerly in vogue, for they were gaudily decorated with gastronomical symbols, and so large that two only were needed for a dining table. The peacock, a whole pig roasted, a boar's head, and the baron of beef, which constituted the substantial fare of the Tudor era, could not provide very artistic subjects for ornamentation; but in course of time the menus not only became smaller, but they also increased in artistic and intrinsic value. Many of the hand-painted menus of the present day are works of art (see coloured plate), some of them being fashioned more curiously than tastefully in satin, parchment, and cardboard, with designs more or less appropriate. The plainer menus, in some useful shape that will stand firmly on the table, are in much better taste, and more in keeping with the elegant simplicity that characterizes the table appointments of the well-ordered establishments of the twentieth century. The dinner should always be more elaborate than the menu. One may have a simple menu and an elaborate dinner, but if the order be reversed and long pompous names given to simple inexpensive dishes, the repast may prove a disappointment to those who partake of it.

The slip of paper which the Duke of Brunswick consulted with such evident interest was doubtless a copy of the bill of fare given to the "master cook," a personage so important that his accomplishments, even in those days, would include reading and writing. Therefore, to trace the menu to its real source we must go back to a remote period, to a primitive age when a few verbal instructions from master to man, or mistress to maid, would constitute the only bill of fare. No matter how simple a meal may be, it must be planned and provided for, although written instructions may not be required. But when dealing with increased numbers and more elaborate repasts, cooks need some guide to their work, and aid to their memory, and so necessity, "the mother of invention," introduced the bill of fare, the antecedent of the "menu."

Use of Menus.—The use of a menu has already been indicated: it enables the guest to choose the dishes he prefers; it serves as a guide to the cook not only in assisting her memory, and aiding her culinary operations, but it also and this is an important point helps her to provide everything necessary for the repast; although there is not much fear of the modern cook following the example of Vatel, the unfortunate chef to Louis XVI, who in despair took his life because the fish had not arrived in time for the royal table.

Arranging Menus.—A complete dinner consists of eight courses (if the "entremets," which include dressed vegetables, sweets, and savouries, be considered as one course) arranged in the following order:—

Hors d'œuvre,
Soup,
Fish,
Entrée,
Remove,
Rôti,
Entremets,
Dessert.

In recent years hors d'œuvre have rapidly gained favour, and nearly always appear on elaborate menus, but they are not often included in a simple dinner. The term hors d'œuvre is now applied exclusively to such cold trifles as oysters, sardines, anchovies, fillets of herring, prawns, olives, and radishes served as a relish or appetizer at the commencement of a dinner; but it originally extended to rissoles, croquettes, oyster-patties, and such things a previous generation classed as "side-dishes," which are now served as light entrees. When the term hors d'œuvre appears after the fish, as it does in many old bills of fare, it refers to this class of dishes, rather than to the savoury appetizers now in vogue. The hors d'œuvre dishes are frequently placed on the plates before the guests enter the dining-room; and in many of the best public dining-rooms the visitor is supplied with a variety of hors d'œuvre with which to stimulate his appetite whilst the dinner is in course of preparation.

Soups.—The world of cooks, like the renowned master chefs Carême and the Marquis de Cussey, are divided in their opinion of the importance of the course, which the culinary artist Francatelli described as the "prelude" to a dinner. The disciples of the first-named chef, who considered soup "the soul of the dinner," fully appreciate the advantage of letting the first course be one likely to give the guests a pleasurable anticipation of what is to follow. When the number does not exceed twelve, one soup alone is necessary, and with but few exceptions clear soup is given preference to, being more generally appreciated than a thick soup. When two soups are served, one should be clear and the other a thick soup, cream or purée, and in such cases the clear soup should be served first and be placed first on the menu. If either of the latter consists of vegetables, the clear soup must contain no vegetable garnish. According to the same rule, if a purée of chicken or hare be served, neither chicken nor hare must appear in the courses that are to follow. The soups should also vary in colour; and here the green of the spinach and pea soups, and the red of the tomato soup will be found useful when the dinner has a preponderance of white or brown dishes.

Fish.—When two kinds of fish are included in the course, it is usual to serve first that which is boiled, and generally a large fish, such as turbot, salmon or cod; cold salmon would be served after the hot fish. Some small fish should be selected to follow the large boiled one; and it must be prepared by some dry method as frying, grilling, or broiling. Should the service consist of grilled or fried fish, and lobster or oyster souffles, or fish dressed in small portions to be handed round instead of being served from the sideboard, the latter would follow the grilled fish. Considerable discretion must be exercised in selecting sauces to accompany the fish. It may happen that a green soup has been given to form a contrast to the white fish to follow, if this be so, a green sauce cannot be served with the fish, neither can a yellow one, if a sauce of that colour has been chosen to accompany the grilled or fried fish. And throughout the whole dinner the same care is necessary to avoid repetition.

Entrées.—In the present day the term entrée is used to distinguish practically all kinds of made dishes, from the simple rissole of cold meat to the artistic productions for which this part of the dinner provides such ample scope. As entrées are always handed, they come more under the direct observation of the guest than any other part of the service, consequently it is upon the dishes forming this course that the taste and skill of the cook is largely bestowed. Tasteful dishing and a little artistic decoration is desirable, but over-ornamentation is in bad taste, and should be studiously avoided. What has been said about order of service and variety in colour in reference to fish also applies here. All such light dishes as rissoles, croquettes, quenelles, and kromeskis come before the more substantial entreés of fillets and cutlets. Whether a brown or white entrée should be served first depends partly on the dish to follow, but in a greater measure on the composition of the respective dishes. For instance, if the dishes selected are sweetbread, and chicken cooked in a rich brown sauce, as Chicken à la Maréngo, the sweetbread, being more delicate in flavour, would be more likely to be appreciated if it preceded the highly-flavoured than if it followed it. Hot entrées are always served before cold ones; and an entrée of any small bird, such as quails, would be served before a more substantial entrée of poultry, game or meat. Sauces are usually served in the dish poured round the entrée in many cases, poured over it in some few. The exception to this rule is when soufflés and other mixtures are served in china or paper cases, and the accompanying sauce is served in a sauce-boat. As entrées form, from an artistic point of view, the most important part of the repast, it is advisable, when arranging a dinner, to select suitable dishes for this course, before deciding what shall be served before and after them.

Removes.—The joint or pièce de résistance constitutes the most substantial part of fashionable dinners, and the most important feature of plain homely dinners. Although a saddle of mutton or sirloin or fillet of beef frequently comprise this course, one's choice is not necessarily confined to joints of meat, for turkeys, chickens, geese, ducks, pies, venison, etc., may all be served instead. If there are two removes, the poultry is served before the joint of meat.

Appropriate, plainly-dressed vegetables are always served with the "remove"; but it is a matter of choice as to whether they appear on the menu; and the same remark applies to such sauces as mint and horseradish, and other things which always accompany certain dishes.

Roasts.—Formerly the roast or rôti commenced what was called the "second course," or "second service." The terms now employed to distinguish the courses of a dinner are the same as were in use a century ago, but they have not the same significance. In menus arranged by Carême, the celebrated chef who held that office in the household of the Prince Regent some two years before the "first gentleman in Europe" came to the throne, the service is divided into two distinct courses, in which the soup, being considered simply as a prelude to the meal, has no part. The first course was headed by a substantial joint or other pièce de résistance, and followed by one or more entrées of poultry or game. The made-up dishes classed as entrées now were then known as hors d'œuvre, and a little later as side-dishes. A dish of fish sometimes constituted the rôti of the second course, and was followed then, as now, by two or three entremets. At the present day the term roast or rôti signifies a dish of poultry or game, such as partridges, grouse, pheasants, woodcocks, guinea fowls, turkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, and a variety of other things. When arranging the menu for a recherché dinner some luxury not in full season is usually selected, some delicacy to tempt the partially appeased appetites of the guests. In a more simple dinner this course is frequently omitted altogether.

Entremets.—Use was the first, it is said, to define clearly the distinction between entrées and entremets. "The latter term," he said, "applied to all vegetable dishes, jellies, pastries, salads, prawns, lobsters, and in general to everything that appears in the second course, except the roast."

Entremet of Vegetables.—Although entremets may be classed under one heading, the service consists of three courses as distinct in themselves as those of soup, fish, and entrée. The first, the vegetable entremet, comprises one or more dishes of dressed vegetables, such as cauliflower au grautin, tomatoes prepared in a variety of ways, savoury cucumber, vegetable marrow fritters, peas, celery, French beans and asparagus. Dressed vegetables, like hors d'œuvre, have gained rapidly in favour during recent years, and are nearly always included in a menu of a fashionable dinner. Their frequent absence from the family dinner-table is not easily understood, for they are a means of introducing a variety of dishes at small cost.

Sweets.—When both hot and cold sweets are provided, the hot dish is served first. All sweets, whether hot or cold, come before iced puddings or ices, which, when large, are served in this course. Smaller ices may be served either in this course or with the dessert. In selecting the sweets, their colours and flavours should be carefully assorted, but there is such a variety of creams, jellies, babas, savarins, puddings and fruits to choose from, that little difficulty is experienced.

Savouries. Savouries are intended to prepare the palate for the taste of the choice wines which usually follow a good dinner. And when they are not required for this purpose they are all the same most eagerly welcomed by the male portion of the guests. Colour is an unimportant matter in the small portions which usually constitute this course. A piquant, rather strong appetizing flavour is an essential in a savoury; and they are so quickly and easily decorated that it is an easy matter to provide a combination pleasing alike to the eye and the palate. They exist in an almost endless variety, therefore there is not the least excuse for having savouries of anchovy or sardines when these things have already figured as hors d'œuvre, or for having a savoury of cheese when cheese has already entered largely into the composition of the vegetable entremet.

Dessert.—Cheese is served immediately after the savouries, under the mistaken idea that it promotes digestion. From an artistic point of view the dessert course is an important one, for the appearance of the table is greatly enhanced by a graceful arrangement of the materials comprising the dessert. Any kind of fresh fruit may be selected, also dried fruits, crystallized fruits, bon-bons, petits fours, fancy biscuits and dessert ices.

Coffee or Café Noir.—There are three varieties of black coffee, so called to distinguish it from the coffee served with milk. There is the French Café, Café Turque, and Café Russe. Turkish coffee is the strongest of the three, and for this reason, where it is in daily use, small cups, about half the size of those used for French coffee, are provided for its service. In England it is adapted to the palate of those who drink it, but real Turkish coffee, made by a Turk, is exceedingly sweet, thick, and unstrained, and the grounds, which are as fine as those at the bottom of a cup of cocoa, are swallowed with the coffee.
