    THE ROLE OF FOOD AND BEVERAGES IN EVENTS

    Excerpt from Event Management Simplified - Copyright © 2002 by Judy L. Anderson 12

    Rare is the event without a food or beverage element. Food is one of the major motivators
    for people to attend events—unless, of course, it’s an event built around beverages! Because of this,
    we want the food and/or beverage to make an impression on our guests.

    The food is often what people remember most about an event and is limited only by the budget
    and your imagination. Look at food as an entertainment element and how it can be incorporated
    into the theme. Add new twist such as a chill cookoff or a barbecue to an outdoor event.

    1. According to the text, what is the major motivator for people to attend events?
    a. Food b. souvenir c. guests d. all of the choices

    2. What new twists can be added to the theme to incorporate food as an entertainment
    element?
    a. Barbecue to an outdoor even
    b. Chill cookoff
    c. A
    d. A& B

    Men of all ages seem to prefer more substantial foods, and young men tend to eat more than
    anyone. Women like to eat lighter foods or more vegetables. Young adults are more likely to choose
    beer or wine over hard liquor. Older people usually appreciate foods that are less rich or spicy and
    are more easily chewed. Teenagers like to nibble on finger-type foods, while children like simple
    foods that aren’t fussy to serve or eat. With the movement toward a healthier diet, vegetarian
    options should always be available regardless of the event or venue.

    3. What does the first sentence mean when it says, "men of all ages seem to prefer more
    substantial foods, and young men eat more than anyone."

    a. Men of all ages are more likely than women to eat a full breakfast, a main lunch, or an
    evening meal.
    b. They consume whatever is on the table.
    c. They preferred meals that were substantial enough to satisfy their hunger.
    d. They eat whatever is available to satisfy their cravings.

    4. According to the text, what food do the kids prefer to be served at the table?
    a. They prefer vegetables and fruits
    b. Simple food that are not fussy to serve and eat
    c. Nibble on finger-type foods
    d. All of the above

    5. What foods do older people typically enjoy, based on the paragraph?

    a. Lighter food or more vegetables


    b. Beer or wine hard liquor
    c. Foods that are less rich or spicy and are more easily chewed
    d. Fruits and Vegetables

    Use common sense in selecting the menu. Don’t serve alcohol or give bottles of wine as gifts
    if the audience is recovering alcoholics. Don’t serve several meat courses at an event where
    most of the guests are vegetarians or vegans. An entree of chicken with wine sauce would
    probably go untouched if served to a group of children. You get the idea! Ethnic, religious or
    group considerations are also important. The last thing an event manager wants is for the
    guests to be mortified over the menu. Some cultures or religions don’t eat meat (or only select
    types) while most do eat fish. If the group is predominantly from another culture, be sure to
    include dishes they will enjoy. Adapt the food to the circumstances.

    6. EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT, ALL OF THEM ARE TRUE:

    a. Considerations such as ethnicity, religion, or group membership are important when


    choosing food to serve.
    b. The event manager must adjust the food to the circumstances.
    c. We want our guests to be impressed by the food and/or beverage.
    d. Serve several meat courses at an event where most of the guests are vegetarians or vegans.

    7. The final sentence of the paragraph states, "Adapt the food to the circumstances." What
    exactly does this mean?

    a. The food must be prepared in accordance with the current circumstances of the event,
    guests, and budget.
    b. Allow the guest to purchase their own food if the food is no longer edible.
    c. Concern yourself with the people who will be attending alone.
    d. None of the above
    8. “Event is built around beverage.” Which of the following best explain the statement?

    b. An event is surrounded by beverages
    c. Beverages is always serve in an event.

    9. Which of the following should be considered in organizing an event?


    a. budget
    b. people
    c. place
    d. time
