=====Dessert===== | =====Dessert===== | ||
Dessert is considered almost entirely a sit down course and is typically consumed alongside dinner, but on some occasions dinner can be skipped entirely if large quantities of hors d'oeuvres were presented over a long amount of time. Urceans favor pies of various kinds, with apple pie being an iconic representation of Urcean culture. | |||

Urcea's restaurant industry is a major contributor to the nation's urban economies, and among them various kinds of chain restaurants make up a sizable portion of the overall national economy. The Urcean fast food industry, the world's largest, pioneered the drive-through format in the 1950s by combining early innovations in fast food stands, Urcea's predilection towards quickly consumed food, and the wide availability of the automobile. [[NoWaiter]] is Urcea's largest fast food chain, and [[Coria Clux]] is its second largest. Adjacent chain restaurant types, including {{wp|fast casual}} and family casual, are typically grouped with fast food restaurants for social and economic considerations. | Urcea's restaurant industry is a major contributor to the nation's urban economies, and among them various kinds of chain restaurants make up a sizable portion of the overall national economy.

Despite its social connotations, consumption of fast food is not typically considered to be part of the hors d'oeuvres "meal" but is instead consumed for lunch and, somewhat uncommonly, dinner. | ||

{{wp|Diner}}s are a highly recognizable Urcean dining institution. Many scholars believe the [[Ómestaderoi]] are largely responsible for creating the nation's first diners in the early 20th century. Throughout the 20th century, many previously new dishes passed into the mainstream enough so that they became part of diner fare by the turn of the millennia. The diner is now more numerous in the country than any other type of restaurant besides fast food chains. | {{wp|Diner}}s are a highly recognizable Urcean dining institution.

=====Cowboy buffets===== | |||
Cowboy buffets are the most common type of {{wp|buffet}} in [[Urcea]], with various kinds of simple foods - considered {{wp|soul food}}s - available for consumption. As the name would suggest, these buffets often are themed around life on the [[Urcean frontier]] and probably do originate from popular [[Ómestaderoi]] cuisines from the 19th century, though unlike diners cowboy buffets are typically intended to be a themed, immersive experience. These buffets are often associated with events like children's birthday parties or youth sports team outings, but are considered acceptable for family dinners, especially among working class Urceans. | |||
===Alcohol=== | ===Alcohol=== | ||
{{wp|Beer}} is the most popular alcoholic beverage in [[Urcea]] by a significant margin, and per capita consumption exceeds more than fifty liters annually. The most popular kind of beers are {{wp|lagers}}, {{wp|hefeweizen|goldwheats}} and {{wp|pilsners}}. The number one selling brand of beer in Urcea is [[Royal Billion]], which it exports abroad. Many of the most popular brands of beer are domestic with hops and wheat grown in the province of Goldvale and brewed elsewhere. Wine, especially wines from southern Urcea and particularly from [[Canaery]], is growing in popularity, and the industry is a major source of economic growth in the [[Greater Canaery]] region and parts of [[Gassavelia]]. | {{wp|Beer}} is the most popular alcoholic beverage in [[Urcea]] by a significant margin, and per capita consumption exceeds more than fifty liters annually.

===Portions and sizes=== | ===Portions and sizes=== | ||
Urceans are known for having very large portion sizes for most of their sit-down meals, and for the presentation of hors d'oeuvres typically large trays with a large variety are made available for consumption. It is not considered impolite in Urcea to go up for second or third rounds of food. | |||
