mehrgängiges

Mehrgängiges is a term used in German to describe something that has multiple courses or stages. It is most commonly associated with dining, where a "mehrgängiges Menü" refers to a multi-course meal. These meals typically consist of several distinct dishes served in a specific order, such as an appetizer, soup, main course, and dessert. The number of courses can vary greatly, from a simple three-course meal to an elaborate tasting menu with ten or more small plates. The concept emphasizes a progression of flavors, textures, and ingredients, allowing diners to experience a wider range of culinary creations.

Beyond dining, "mehrgängiges" can also be applied to other contexts. For instance, a "mehrgängiger Prozess" would describe a process that involves several sequential steps or phases. This could be relevant in manufacturing, scientific experiments, or project management, where breaking down a complex task into manageable stages is essential for successful completion. The core idea remains the same: a structured progression through distinct parts. The term highlights the segmented nature of an activity or offering.
