After entering the western restaurant, you need to be seated by the waiter, and you can't sit down rashly. The most suitable sitting position is to sit from the left. When the chair is opened, the body will stand up straight at a distance that almost touches the table. The leader pushes the chair in, and the legs bend and touch the chair behind, so you can sit down. Don't put your elbows on the table or cross your legs. Don't leave your seat while eating.
If you really need to leave, you should whisper hello to the guests around you. When eating, sit up straight, keep your back straight and stretch your neck. The upper arm and back should lean on the back of the chair, and the abdomen should keep a fist distance from the table. It is best to avoid sitting with your legs crossed.
Remember to eat with your head up. When you put the food in front of you in your mouth, you should eat it with your mouth instead of bending down.
The use of western knives and forks:
1, knives and forks should be placed on the dining table, generally not more than three pairs. For a set meal with more than three dishes, new knives and forks must be placed after the knives and forks are used up.
2. Knife and fork are used from outside to inside, that is to say, they are placed from outside to inside in advance according to the order of use. When eating, the left and right hands usually cooperate with each other, that is, one knife and one fork are used in pairs. With some exceptions, when drinking soup, the spoon is placed on the right-the spoon is held in the right hand, and oysters are usually eaten with the oyster fork in the right hand.
3. The specifications of knives and forks are different, and their sizes are different according to different purposes. When eating meat, whether you want to cut it with a knife or not, you should use a big knife. When eating salads, sweets or some appetizers, use a medium knife. The fork or spoon usually varies with the size of the knife. Use a large spoon for soup and a small spoon for coffee and ice cream.
