France is not only the fashion capital, romantic city, but also the concentrated romantic and elegant French cuisine, which is also well-known and widely welcomed by the world. Because of the popularity of French cuisine, it is very useful and necessary to know and master some manners of tasting French cuisine.

1. Seating order

Elegance is the essence of French catering culture. When we enter the restaurant, men should put women first, and the last man should pull the seat open for the lady in front; Only when all the ladies have seats can the men be seated. The happiness at the table comes from the pleasure of eating and from mutual service.

2. Understand the menu and ordering order of French cuisine:

The menu of French cuisine is very simple. There are no more than 111 kinds of dishes, but they are all beautifully made. The ordering order is: the first course is usually cold food or soup. Although there are many kinds of "first courses" on the menu for you to choose from, you can only choose one. Before serving, a loaf of bread will come up. After eating, the waiter will help you remove the plate. The second course is soup, delicious French soup, with thick broth, light vegetable soup and delicious seafood soup. The third course is the main course in a meal, which is the most important dish in French cuisine. It is often done delicately and fastidiously, which makes diners unforgettable. The most common in dinner is a variety of "chops"-chicken chops, fish chops, steaks and pork chops. This so-called steak is the clean meat with bones and thorns removed, and then poured with a unique juice, which is delicious and convenient to eat.

3. Some etiquette should be paid attention to when tasting French food:

(1) Eating French food is basically red wine with red meat, white wine with white meat, and most desserts will be accompanied by sweet table wine.

(2) Wipe your hands and mouth after eating. Don't wipe with a napkin. Pay attention to manners. Just use a corner of the napkin to gently print off the oil stains on your mouth or fingers.

(3) If you eat a main course, after eating the first course (usually seafood), the waiter will send you a glass of sherbet, which is made of fruit juice or champagne, which will not only refresh your mouth, but also help to stimulate your appetite for the next course.

(4) No matter how comfortable the stool is, you should sit upright and don't lean on the back of the chair. When eating, you can lean forward slightly, and your arms should be close to your body to avoid hitting the fence.

(5) Eating French food is the same as eating western food. When using a knife and fork, remember to start with the outermost tableware, from the outside to the inside. Don't jump on the delicious food. It's rude.

(6) After eating each dish, put the knives and forks around, or cross them around, which is very ugly. The correct way is to put the knife and fork side by side on the plate with the fork teeth facing up.
