Convenience Guide - Glossary

Basics

Everything needed as “carrier material” for trendy meals, snacks or hand-held food: tortillas, pita pockets, flatbread, ciabatta, pizza, baguettes, etc..

Convenience Food

Industrially prepared food which reduces the work in the kitchen.

Eat on the move

Food that can be eaten “on the go”, directly on the street. This can take the form of sandwiches, Hot Dogs, French Fries, pizza segments, finger food, etc.

Ethno Food

Dishes from various areas of local cuisine, for example Asia or Mexico, with a certain ethnic flair.

Fast Food

Preparation, service and consumption all happen at more or less the same time, often while standing or walking.

Finger Food

A constantly growing trend which is percolating through all ethnic spheres – whether Spanish tapas, American appetizers or Asian dim sum. These little snacks are characterised by the fact that they can be eaten casually in 2-3 bites straight out of your fingers.

Food to go

Every type of ready-to-go food – entire menus or menu components as well as snacks and salads – for carrying out to eat at home or in the office. They are provided by restaurants, bakeries, butchers, snack bars, etc.

Fun Food und Fancy Food

When the chef or food designer gives free rein to his imagination.

Functional Food

Food with effective active ingredients, e.g. vitamins, which promise an additional health benefit.

Fusion Food

(Known in French as cuisine éclectique): Far-eastern, Mediterranean, Mexican or French cuisine blended with the help of traditional methods of preparation.

Grab & Go

As the name says, grab and go is the concept. In sandwich shops without seating the customer serves himself, selecting from pre-prepared dishes, salads, sandwiches or desserts and carries his purchase out to be eaten at home or in the office, cold or warm.

Hand-held food

General term for all basics and toppings from which tasty hand-held snacks are made.

Hand-held snack

Generic term for every type of snack food, that can be eaten directly out of the hand without cutlery, e.g. pizza slices, wraps, pita pockets, etc.

Instincto food

Unprocessed foods which is assessed by aroma and instinctively selected according to physical requirements.

Junk food

Fatty, sugary food with no nutritional value.

Nonfood

Everything outside of the edible. In the bulk consumer area, it includes, for example, crockery, cleaning agents, etc.

Novel food

"Innovative food" containing raw materials which are either not familiar in our diet or not produced in the conventional manner.

Quick casual dining (also known as fast casual dining)

The “premium edition” of restaurant chains which has developed from the established concept of the “quick service restaurants“ (Burger King, Mc Donalds, etc) and the “casual dining restaurants“ (Applebee´s, Chillies, Olive Garden, etc). Quick casual dining involves ordering the meal at the counter and then - when it has been prepared freshly for the guest – picking it up from there and eating it on location in an attractive restaurant atmosphere. The best-known example is the American chain “Panera Bread“.

Slow food

Producers and restaurants that have come together in a European association as a counter-movement to fast food.

Spread

Bread or sandwich spread consisting of a number of blended components. In contrast to butter or margarine, spread has a strong taste of its own and is generally somewhat lumpy. Can be prepared quite easily at home. For example, mango dip mixed with yoghurt. Ideally suited to transporting ethnic worlds of taste.

Street food

Modern trend world for a small, generally warm meal bought in snack bars and then eaten outside in the street or in the lunch break, for example on a park bench. This is a small “all-in-one” meal served in a practical transport container. The current top favourite is Asian noodle dishes.

Toppings

These are creative “interiors” or the “top layer” for the basic products such as pita pockets, wraps, pizza & co. Delicious examples from SALOMON^® are the chicken, beef, vegetarian and sauce toppings from the SALOMON^® Creativ System for hand held snacks.
