What a sommelier does.

The job of a sommelier is mainly to evaluate whether a food is delicious or not.

Delicious is a very general concept, and sensory evaluation is to refine it. For example, if the examiner tries to eat a certain kind of noodles, he needs to score each item according to the standard. Such as the color, toughness and elasticity of noodles, and give suggestions for improvement.

A sommelier should not only have good taste buds, but also have good expressive ability. They should not simply say what is delicious or not, but describe their specific feelings and suggest how to improve them. Being naturally sensitive to the taste of food (eating with a sharp mouth) or winning at the starting line.

In addition to full-time sommeliers recruited by companies, many restaurants and companies will recruit part-time sommeliers. The professional requirements of this sommelier are much lower. The main job is to try a new product (food) introduced by a restaurant or a company and give opinions and suggestions on the taste.

Matters needing attention for children to become tasters:

1. food safety: infants and children may be allergic or sensitive to certain ingredients. When trying to eat, you need to pay attention to whether the product contains allergens or harmful substances. Make sure they don't touch or eat harmful ingredients, especially children with allergic history.

2. Regular physical examination: Children should receive regular health examinations to ensure that they are in good health and can be competent for the task of food tasters.

3. Parental supervision: If children participate in tasting, they need parental or guardian supervision to ensure their safety and comfort.

4, children's wishes: tasters need to insist on tasting various foods for a long time. A child's energy and patience may not be enough for the job. Whether children are willing to be tasters is an important factor. They should not be forced to participate, and their wishes should be respected.
