Precautions:

1, in western food, soup is mainly divided into clear soup and thick soup. Generally speaking, clear soup is served with an oval spoon and soup cup, while thick soup is served with a round spoon and a wide-mouthed soup plate.

2. The posture of taking a spoon is to take food from the outside of Neijing, which is generally concave upward. Don't spoon too full, and don't drink it all at once.

3. When eating western food and drinking soup, you can't make a sound. This is impolite behavior, so it is best not to blow the soup cold with your mouth. You can shake it gently before drinking to make the soup a little cooler.

After drinking the soup, remember to put the spoon on the chassis or plate in front of you. Generally speaking, the handle of the spoon is facing right, and so are the soup cups and plates.
