Orthodox Etiquette for Eating Western Food | Serving Procedures for Chinese Food and Western Food (1) When eating meat with bones with a knife and fork, you can eat it with your hands. If you want to eat more elegantly, you'd better use a knife. Fix the whole meat with a fork (you can stand the fork upright and press the meat with the back of the fork), then insert a knife along the bone and cut the meat. It is best to eat while cutting. When you have to eat with your hands, hand washing water will be attached. When hand washing water is served with meat with bones, it means "Please eat with your hands". After eating with your fingers, wash your fingers in a bowl filled with hand washing water. When eating ordinary dishes, if your fingers are dirty, you can also ask the waiter to bring hand washing water, and pay attention to washing your hands gently. (2) It is polite for the chef to dip the bread in the sauce until there is no sauce left. Be careful not to lick the bread plate clean, but fork the bread that has been torn into small pieces and dip it in a little sauce. This is an elegant approach. (3) When wiping your mouth with a napkin, be sure to wipe it with a napkin and avoid using your own handkerchief. It's polite to wipe the inside of food instead of soiling the front. Wipe your fingers with a napkin after washing them. If the napkin is badly dirty, please ask the waiter to change it. (4) In a first-class restaurant, everything is done by waiters. In addition to eating, guests have to ask the waiter to pour wine, tidy up the tableware, and pick up the knives and forks that have fallen on the ground. In foreign countries, when eating, the waiter will ask, "Is everything all right?" If there is no problem, you can use "good" to express your satisfaction. (5) Don't speak loudly. When you eat in a restaurant, you should enjoy food and socialize. It would be strange to eat separately in silence. However, it is also very impolite to speak loudly like no one's watching. The volume should be carefully kept at the level that the other party can hear, so as not to affect the adjacent table. (6) Put the napkin on the chair when you leave halfway. When you have to leave halfway, you'd better say hello to the person at the same table between serving and put the napkin on the chair before you leave. Don't disturb the whole procedure and atmosphere of eating. After eating, just put the napkin on the dining table at will, and you don't have to fold it neatly. (7) Eating desserts with forks and spoons When eating desserts, most people will attach spoons and forks. Desserts such as ice cream are easy to slide down, so you can concentrate them with a fork and eat them with a spoon. Large pieces of fruit can be cut into small pieces and eaten with a fork. (8) How to greet the waiter The waiter will always pay attention to the needs of the guests. If you need service, you can look at him or raise your hand slightly, and the waiter will come right away. If you are satisfied with the service and want to tip, you can pay by debit card, that is, write down the total amount including the tip on the bill and then sign it. Finally, don't forget to thank you verbally. Chinese food and western food should be served in the following order: cold dishes, drinks and wine first, then hot dishes, then staple food, and finally sweets and fruits. When there are many tables at a banquet, every dish on each table should be served at the same time.

Generally speaking, there are several ways to serve food: first, the big dish is served and everyone takes it; Second, the waiter will give everyone a dish; The third is to serve it in a small plate, one for each person.

The serving procedure of western food is usually: bread and butter → cold dishes → soup bucket seafood → main course → dessert → coffee and fruit. Cold dishes and soup are eaten with bread. Cold dishes are also called appetizers. As the first course, they are usually used with aperitif. Soup is divided into thick soup and cream soup. The main courses are fish, pork, beef and chicken. There are often ice cream, pudding and so on for dessert. Then coffee or black tea. As for the fruit, it can be served.
