WHAT THE MEANING OF GARDE MANGER?


 Let me tell you guys what the meaning is, Garde Manger (French for "keeper of the food") is a cool, well-ventilated area where cold dishes (such as salad, hors d’oeuvres, canapé, appetizers) are prepared and other foods are stored under refrigeration. The person in charge of this area is known as the chef garde manger or pantry chef.

HISTORY OF THE GARDE MANGER
The term "garde manger" originated in pre-revolunationary France. At that time, maintaining a large supply of food and beverage was an outward symbol of power, wealth and status. It is because of this duty of supervising the preserving of food and managing its utilization that many interpret the term "garde manger" as keeping to eat.
The term "garde manger" is also related to the cold rooms inside castles and minor houses where the food was stored. These food storage areas were usually located in the lower levels, since the cool basement-like environment was ideal for storing food. These cold storage areas developed over time into the modern cold kitchen
