terítéket

Teríték refers to the full set of table appointments for one person at a meal. This includes all the necessary cutlery, crockery, and glassware. The term originates from Hungarian and is commonly used in contexts where a formal or complete table setting is being described.

A typical teríték would include a dinner plate, soup bowl, salad plate, dessert plate, and potentially other specialized dishes depending on the meal's courses. The cutlery would comprise a dinner knife, fork, spoon, and possibly smaller knives and forks for appetizers or desserts. Glasses for water, wine, and other beverages are also an integral part of the teríték. The arrangement of these items on the table follows specific etiquette rules to ensure both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The complexity of a teríték can vary greatly, from a simple everyday setting to an elaborate arrangement for a formal banquet.
