Table setting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Table setting (laying a table) or place setting refers to the way to set a table with tableware—such as eating utensils and for serving and eating. The arrangement for a single diner is called a place setting. It is also the layout in which the utensils and ornaments are positioned. The practice of dictating the precise arrangement of tableware has varied across cultures and historical periods.

A table setting may have many elements, especially on formal occasions.

table setting - сервіровка столу

table with one place setting - cтіл сервірований на одну персону

place setting - столові прибори на один прийом їжі, столовий прибор

F.e.: The arrangement for a single diner is called a place setting.

tableware ['teɪb(ə)lweə] предмети сервіровки столу, столовий посуд, столові прибори

eating utensils - столові приладдя

layout - розміщення (на столі)

practice of dictating - вимоги, які диктують (певну сервіровку)

ornaments - сервіровка

precise arrangement - ретельна сервіровка

has varied across cultures - відрізняється в залежності від культури

historical periods - історичний період часу

Place setting

Informal settings generally have fewer utensils and dishes but use a layout based on more formal settings. Utensils are arranged in the order and according to the manner in which the diner will use them. In the West, forks, plate, butter knife, and napkin generally are placed to the left of the dinner plate, and knives, spoons, stemware and tumblers, cups, and saucers to the right. (By contrast, formal settings in Armenia place the fork to the right of the dinner plate and informal settings in Turkey place the fork to the right of the dinner plate if not accompanied by a knife) Sauceboats and serving dishes, when used, either are placed on the table or, more formally, may be kept on a side table.

informal - неформальний

setting - обстановка (по тексту - формальна чи неформальна)

fewer utensils - менша кількість столових приладдь

formal - формальний

arranged - розміщений

in the order and according to the manner - в залежності від черговості та порядку використання

placed to the left of the dinner plate - розміщений з лівого боку від обідньої тарілки

sauceboat - соусник

serving dish - сервіровочне блюдо

Informal

Informal setting with pancakes in a California mountain cabin.

At an informal setting, fewer utensils are used and serving dishes are placed on the table. Sometimes the cup and saucer are placed on the right side of the spoon, about 30 cm or 12 inches from the edge of the table. Often, in less formal settings, the napkin should be in the wine glass. However, such objects as napkin rings are very rare in the United Kingdom, Spain, Mexico, or Italy.

on the right side - з правої сторони (звеніть увагу на прийменник 'on.'

Formal

13 course table setting American overhead view.jpg

Utensils are placed inward about 20 cm or 8 inches from the edge of the table, with all placed either upon the same invisible baseline or upon the same invisible median line. Utensils in the outermost position are to be used first (for example, a soup spoon or a salad fork, later the dinner fork and the dinner knife). The blades of the knives are turned toward the plate. Glasses are placed an inch (2.5 cm) or so above the knives, also in the order of use: white wine, red wine, dessert wine, and water tumbler.

dinner - обід, обідній

blades - леза

water tumbler - стакан для води

Formal dinner

The most formal dinner is served from the kitchen. When the meal is served, in addition to the central plate (a service plate or dinner plate at supper; at luncheon, a service plate or luncheon plate) at each place there are a bread roll (generally on a bread plate, sometimes in the napkin), napkin, and flatware (knives and spoons to the right of the central plate, and forks to the left). Coffee is served in Butler Service style in demitasses, and a spoon placed on the saucer to the right of each handle. Serving dishes and utensils are not placed on the table for a formal dinner.

At a less formal dinner, not served from the kitchen, the dessert fork and spoon can be set above the plate, fork pointing right, spoon pointing left.

serve - подавати

luncheon plate - обідня тарілка
