Recognizing the Sense of Russian Service

When my parents celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary, we delighted in this five-star cafe. Various traditional Russian cuisines were served and we were all delighted to taste them that extraordinary day. While in the middle of the meal, my father said something like he admired the Russian Service in the cafe. I was bewildered with what he said because I did not know the meaning of what he cites as the Russian Service.

My parent explained to me the Russian Service and I was so amazed while listening to his explanation. Pop said that the Russian Service is a way of serving the cuisines on the table. The said Service did not actually originate in Russia but that procedure of cuisine serving was introduced by the Russian czar's ambassador. The Russian Service came into Russia in the early 1800's and it was only in the 1850's that it became prominent in France and in other parts of the sphere. The Russian Service, where every cuisine is given to each person on the table individually, is what most cafes use today.

I presume that the Russian Service is a more organized method of cuisine serving compared to other ways such as the French Service, where the dishes are put on the table all at once. I expect this bite of trivia helped you in knowing more about Russia and its past.
