western food etiquette

1. When sitting, keep your body straight, don't put your elbows on the table, and don't cross your feet. The distance from the table is better to facilitate the use of tableware. Don't fiddle with the tableware set on the dining table. Fold the napkin in half and gently put it on your lap.

2. When eating with a knife and fork, take the knife and fork from the outside to the inside, holding the fork in your left hand and holding the knife in your right hand; When cutting things, hold the fork in your left hand and hold the food, and hold the knife in your right hand to cut it into small pieces and send it to your mouth with a fork. When using a knife, the blade should not be outward. When you put down your knife and fork during a meal, you should put them in a figure of eight and put them on the edge of the plate respectively. The blade is facing itself, indicating that you will continue to eat.

after each dish, put the knife and fork together on the plate. If you are talking, you can hold a knife and fork without putting it down. When you don't use a knife, you can hold a fork in your right hand, but if you need to make gestures, you should put down your knife and fork, never wave and shake it in the air with your hand, and never wipe your mouth with a napkin in one hand, nor take a glass in one hand and a fork in the other.

remember, never put one end of a knife and fork on the plate and the other end on the table at any time.

3. Don't sip when drinking soup, but shut up and chew when eating. Don't lick your lips or smack your lips. If the soup is overheated, wait until it is slightly cold before eating, and don't blow it with your mouth. When drinking soup, scoop it out from the inside with a spoon. When the soup in the soup plate is almost finished, tilt the outside of the soup plate slightly with your left hand and scoop it out with a spoon. After eating the soup, leave the spoon in the soup plate (bowl) and point the spoon at yourself.

4. When eating fish, meat and other dishes with thorns or bones, don't spit directly. Cover your mouth with a napkin and spit gently on the fork and put it into the plate. If there is a small amount of dishes left in the plate, don't scrape the bottom of the plate with a fork, let alone use your fingers to help you eat, but use a small piece of bread or fork to help you eat. When eating noodles, you should roll them up with a fork and then send them into your mouth.

5. Bread is usually broken into small pieces and sent to your mouth. Don't bite the whole piece of bread. When spreading butter and jam, break the bread into small pieces before spreading it.

6. When eating chicken, most Europeans and Americans regard chicken breast as the most expensive. When eating chicken legs, you should first remove the bones forcibly, and don't eat them with your hands. When eating fish, don't turn the fish over. After eating the upper layer, remove the fish bones with a knife and fork, and then eat the meat at the lower layer. When eating meat, cut one piece and eat one piece. The pieces can't be cut too big, or cut all the meat into pieces at once.

7. If you want to add milk or sugar when drinking coffee, stir it evenly with a small spoon and put the spoon on the saucer of coffee. When drinking, you should hold the cup handle in your right hand, put the saucer on your left hand, and drink directly with your mouth, instead of scooping it with a spoon. When eating fruit, don't bite the whole fruit. Cut it into four pieces with a fruit knife, then remove the skin and core with a knife and fork it.

8. Eat meat with bones with a knife and fork. When eating meat with bones, you can eat it with your hands. If you want to eat more elegantly, you'd better use a knife. Fix the whole piece of meat with a fork (you can put the fork up 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 it by hand, 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 you get your fingers dirty, you can also ask the waiter to bring hand washing water, and pay attention to washing your hands gently.

9. It is polite to the chef to dip bread in the sauce until there is no sauce left. Be careful not to "lick" the bread plate very clean, but to fork the bread that has been torn into small pieces and dip it in a little sauce, which is an elegant practice.
