Is food and beverage capitalized?
General industry sectors need not be capitalized (e.g. pharmaceutical, food and beverage, automotive, etc.)
Should peanut butter and jelly be capitalized?
Capitalize any title when used as a direct address. Mom, I told you I didn’t want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day!
Should you capitalize lunch?
additional comment: No. But if the luncheon is in honor of a person, for a charity event, or a retirement party the name of the honoree together with the event or occasion’s name is capitalized. Examples: Charlie Brown’s Retirement luncheon.
Do you capitalize Italian food?
Yes, in English the rule is to capitalize: Italy, Italian, Italian man, Italian language, Italian politics, even “Italian dressing.”
Does dinner need to be capitalized?
Does dinner need to be capitalized? Q: “Do you capitalize the names of meals?” A: If you mean “breakfast” or “lunch” or “dinner,” then the answer is no. If the name of the meal includes proper nouns, they are capitalized.
Do you capitalize names of recipes?
After reviewing several recipe web sites created by corporate media groups and Internet startups, it is clear that, in general, recipe ingredients are not capitalized, but a few online style guides do say to capitalize the first letter of an ingredient name.
Do you capitalize recipes?
Should you capitalize food terms derived from names?
The conclusion? If you want to be consistent, pick one route or the other: (1) Always capitalize food terms derived from proper names, or (2) lowercase them when there’s no longer a literal connection. In the end, there’s no right or wrong here.
Do you capitalize the first word in a sauce?
That’s because you only capitalize that first word when it’s already a proper noun or else an adjective derived from a proper noun. Counterexamples in the realm of sauces include Worcestershire sauce, Hollandaise sauce, or Bolognese sauce. That’s because romescodoesn’t originate as some foreign-looking synonym of Roman.
Do you capitalize the word “steak” when referring to food?
You may do whatever serves the purpose of your writing. In normal usage, however, I would capitalize only when referring to a specific dish or recipe. When you are generically requesting a steak or scrambled eggs or even french fries, it isn’t useful to me and there is no obligation to do so.
Should “baked” be capitalized?
(Why the folks at M-W would prefer to capitalize “baked” is beyond us.) The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (5th ed.) leaves us scratching our heads, too. It capitalizes the first term in “Brussels sprouts” and “French toast,” but lowercases “french fries” and “caesar salad.”
