They can be salads, soups, or other snacks, and they're meant to whet your appetite while you wait for your main course.Salad This healthy and delicious combination of meat and vegetables makes it the ideal meal for health-conscious individuals. Salads are a familiar sight on brunch and dinner menus at major Western restaurants, but with so many different options, how do you order? And which dressing is best for you? House Salad : This is a restaurant's signature salad, typically simple, consisting mainly of vegetables with little or no meat. It's a healthy and filling starter.Chicken Caesar: The famous Caesar salad is made up of romaine lettuce, croutons, cheese, chicken, and Caesar dressing. The chicken can be grilled or fried until crispy.Chef : Chef salad usually contains hard-boiled eggs, one or more meats (ham, chicken or turkey), cucumbers, tomatoes and cheese. It is very simple.Cobb Salad : Cobb salad is made of chopped lettuce, tomatoes, chicken, bacon, boiled eggs, stinky blue cheese and other ingredients, and has a richer taste.Asian Chicken: This salad features a light sesame dressing that's more suited to Asian tastes. Sometimes, it's topped with mandarin oranges, green beans, and other ingredients. The crispy wonton strips are also a bonus.Strawberry Spinach : Strawberry spinach salad, which is often added with walnuts, almond slices and cheese. The sour and sweet taste is very popular among girls. Dressing Many restaurants offer you a choice of salad dressings for your side salads. By keeping track of these more common salad dressings, you can choose the flavor you want. Caesar : Caesar salad dressing has a sour and salty mayonnaise flavor and is commonly used on Caesar salads.Blue Cheese : Blue cheese salad dressing, suitable for those who like strong flavors.Ranch dressing: I'm sure everyone is familiar with it.

Americans also like to use it on raw carrots, celery, and chicken wings.Balsamic Vinaigrette : A darker balsamic vinegar sauce that is less thick and more refreshing, making it more appetizing.Honey Mustard : Honey mustard sauce tastes sweet and is also suitable for spreading on bread.Asian Ginger Dressing : This Japanese ginger salad dressing is light and refreshing, perfect with tofu salad or Asian chicken salad. Soup Most people choose between soup and salad for their appetizer, unless you have a big appetite and can have both. It really comes down to personal preference. American-style soups are generally richer, with a thicker milky flavor, and are creamy and buttery . Soup of the Day Some restaurants have different fresh soups every day that are not usually on the menu. You may want to ask the server what the soup of the day is. Clam Chowder New England clam chowder is famous, a rich and delicious dish made with clams, cream, potatoes, bacon, and onions. Sometimes served in a sourdough bread bowl for even more flavor. Lobster Bisque The bisque made with the precious ingredient lobster is naturally more delicious and tastes a bit like clam chowder. Many restaurants make it differently, some have large chunks of lobster meat, and some do not. Chicken Noodle Soup It is a bit similar to the nourishing chicken soup we often drink, but American chicken soup is a little oily and contains noodles, which is considered a very light taste among American soups. Other appetizers Oyster They're usually ordered by the dozen (12 pieces), so you can order a half dozen (six pieces) or a two dozen (24 pieces). They can be paired with cocktail sauce and horseradish to help alleviate the greasiness. Mussels Mussels in American restaurants are also cooked with butter, making them more fragrant. They are usually served with bread for dipping in the soup. Tartare Common cold dishes include raw tuna, salmon or raw beef, which are slightly sour and appetizing, a bit like Western sashimi, and can be eaten on thin crackers. Crab Cakes The outside is fried until golden brown, and the strong crab flavor comes with one bite. It usually comes with a dipping sauce. Mac & Cheese Some creative restaurants also use lobster, bacon, duck or truffle powder as ingredients. It is a kind of comfort food that can warm the heart. Grilled Octopus Unlike the grilled squid we are familiar with, American grilled octopus legs are less chewy and more tender and memorable. Spinach Artichoke Dip Americans love to dip their chips, and spinach and artichoke dip is just one common option. This dip is often made with cheese, giving it a rich, tangy flavor and a thick texture. Brussels Sprouts It is usually grilled to a crisp and tastes great with small pieces of bacon. Entrée (main course) After finishing the appetizers, you can get down to business (you don’t have to order appetizers if you don’t want them). The main courses in gourmet restaurants are usually one per person, unless the restaurant serves large portions, you can consider sharing one with others.
The more common main dishes are: Pork Chop : It is more common to eat it grilled and served with side dishes such as asparagus or green beans. Ribs : Americans love grilled ribs, whether beef or pork, smothered in rich BBQ sauce. This dish is a bit informal, best eaten boldly and simply with your hands. Don't order it on a date. Lamb Chop : Grilled and tender, juicy, even more tender than beef. It can also be made into a crown. Seared Scallops : Sometimes served with risotto. Scallops are an elegant dish, and they're often prepared well in restaurants, making them a great choice for a date. Fish of the Day : This dish typically features the restaurant's freshest fish of the day. Common options include cod, salmon, sea bass, halibut, mahi mahi, and trout. This dish is also aesthetically pleasing, making it a great choice for dates. 2steak! Americans' true love is a tender, juicy, and rich steak. It can be enjoyed boldly or elegantly, and paired with red wine, it's a true delight. However, the many varieties of steak and the different degrees of doneness are worth understanding. What is a Filet Mignon? Which steak is most filling? How do you ask for medium-rare? Types of beef Do you know what the different parts of the cow are called? If you don't, you might accidentally order a steak you don't like. Filet Mignon The tenderloin portion of the sirloin is only cut into a few pounds of fillet per cow, making it very valuable. This steak tastes noble and elegant, with a very tender texture and low fat content, and is usually only a small piece. New York Strip It is the front loin of the cow, the meat is firm and chewy, suitable for friends with good teeth. Prime Rib It is made from the brisket of beef, which is fattier. After being grilled, the slices look tender, red and juicy, and are delicious when eaten with horseradish. Rib Eye: The ribs are located near the back muscles. They are most delicious when the fat is cooked through to release the aroma of butter. The ribs are tender and the meat is delicious. Sirloin The sirloin meat on both sides of the sirloin spine is moderately tender and chewy, with evenly distributed fat and a meaty texture. Short Rib The front ribs of the cow can be boned or boneless. They are rich in fat and many Western restaurants serve them in stews for a more flavorful taste. They also have an excellent beef flavor when grilled. T-Bone The loin of beef retains the meat from the T-shaped bone and is usually a larger portion. How well done? Rare : The inside is blood red and the temperature is low. Medium-rare : This is the dish I order most often. It's cooked on the outside, but still has some juice when you cut it. It retains its original flavor and has a great texture. Medium (medium rare) : The steak has a balanced temperature and taste. Medium-well : Most steaks are gray-brown and have a firm texture. Well-done : If you order this, you might be looked down upon. It’s better to just make a stir-fried beef with green onions at home. 3Desserts Cheesecake : The creamy, fragrant cheesecake has captivated many people's dessert cravings. New York cheesecake is the most common, but some restaurants also offer special flavors like chocolate, strawberry, Oreo, and even coffee liqueur. Bread Pudding : Warm bread pudding plus cool ice cream, the contrast between ice and fire has a unique flavor. Pie : It is very difficult to make pie sweet but not greasy. Common flavors include apple, lemon and pumpkin. S'mores (toasted marshmallow dessert) : Two cookies sandwiched with toasted marshmallows and chocolate.
