The tableware of western food mainly includes knives and forks, napkins, spoons, plates, saucers, cups and toothpicks.
(1) Use of knife and fork: When eating western food, hold the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand. When using a knife and fork, hold the food firmly with the fork in your left hand and move the knife in your right hand to cut the food. Leave temporarily when eating, put the knife and fork in a figure of eight, try to put the handle in the plate with the knife edge inward; When you finish eating or don't want to eat, the knife edge is inward, the fork teeth are upward, and the right fork of the knife is placed side by side vertically, or the knife is placed side by side in the plate.
(2) the use of napkins. Placing the napkin flat on your lap can prevent the dishes and soup dropped during meals from staining your clothes. Wipe your mouth gently with a napkin before talking to people while eating; Before eating, a lady can gently wipe her mouth with a napkin to remove lipstick. When eating, you should pick your teeth and pick up a napkin to block your mouth.
(3) the use of spoons. It is used for drinking soup and dessert, and it is not allowed to scoop any other staple food, dishes and drinks directly. When the spoon enters, you can't put it in your mouth with its front entrance.
Knives are used to cut food. Don't lift food directly into your mouth with a knife and fork, and don't send food into your mouth with a knife and fork at the same time. Don't lick the sauce on the knife; Don't make noise on the plate when cutting food with a knife.
Napkins are placed in different positions and have different meanings. When the host opens the napkin, it means the meal begins, and when the host puts the napkin on the table, it means the meal is over. Leave for a while and put the napkin on the surface of my seat.
Question 2: Should I hold a knife in my left hand or a fork in my left hand when eating western food? 1. Hold a knife or spoon in your right hand and a fork in your left hand. More than two handfuls should be taken from outside to inside in turn. However, if you are left-handed, you can exchange knives and forks when eating. Just after eating, the tableware must be placed according to the right-handed usage, and the handle of the knife and fork should be placed on the right side of the plate. The main reason for this is that we don't want to bring trouble to the service personnel.
2. The knife and fork grip method is to gently hold the tail end and press the index finger on the handle. When eating with a knife and fork, hold the left side with a Queena Ding, cut a small mouth with a knife, and dip it into the mouth.
The spoon is held with a pen. If you feel inconvenient, you can change your right hand to hold the fork, but it is impolite to change it frequently.
When eating big vegetables, you can use a knife and fork to fold and cut them.
5. Soft food can be placed on the flat surface of the fork and arranged with a knife.
Precautions:
1. If you want to put down your knife and fork and have a rest in the middle of eating, you should put the knife and fork in the center of the plate in a figure of eight. If the knife and fork stick out of the plate, it is neither safe nor beautiful.
It's impolite to wave a knife and fork when talking. Put the knife and fork at four o'clock after eating. The bottle is placed on a nearly horizontal slope so that the sediment in the bottle will not be mixed with the wine.
Question 3: Western food is fork in left hand or knife and fork in right hand, including knife, fork, spoon, plate, cup and napkin. There are dish plates, pudding plates, milk plates, butter plates and so on. The wine glasses are even more exquisite. Almost every kind of wine should be served at formal banquets, and special wine glasses must be replaced.
In a narrow sense, tableware refers to three big pieces: knife, fork and spoon. Knives are divided into edible knives, fish knives and meat knives (with serrated blades, used to cut steaks, pork chops, etc. ), butter knife, fruit knife. Forks are divided into edible forks, fish forks, meat forks and shrimp forks. Spoons are spoons, dessert spoons and teaspoons. The specifications of public knives and forks are obviously larger than those of table knives and forks.
Tableware placement: the dinner plate is placed in the center of the dining table, and neatly folded napkins or papers are placed on the tray (some napkins or papers are broken into stamens and put in glasses). Knives, forks and spoons on both sides are arranged in neat parallel lines. If you have a seat card, put it in front of the saucer. All knives are placed on the right side of the saucer, and the blade faces the saucer. All kinds of spoons are placed on the right side of the knife, with the center of the spoon facing up. The fork is placed on the left side of the saucer, with the fork teeth facing up. Generally, only three pairs of knives and forks are put in one seat. The bread plate is placed on the guest's left hand side, equipped with a bread knife (that is, a butter knife, which is used to spread cream and jam instead of cutting bread), and all kinds of wine glasses and cups are placed on the right front. If there is pasta, the spoon and fork for eating pasta are placed horizontally in front.
2. Use of tableware
Knife and fork grip. When using a knife, put the end of the handle in the palm of your hand, press your thumb on one side of the handle, press your forefinger on the handle, but be careful that your forefinger never touches the back of the knife, and the other three fingers bend to hold the handle. If the fork doesn't use a knife, the fork teeth should face up. Hold the fork as far as possible at the end of the fork handle, with the fork handle resting on the middle finger and supported by the ring finger and the little finger in the middle. Forks can be used to fork or eat alone, or to eat some starters and pies, or to eat main courses that don't need to be cut.
The use of knives and forks. Knife in right hand, fork in left hand. First hold the food with a fork, then cut it into small pieces with a knife, and then send it into your mouth with a fork. Europeans don't change hands when they use it, that is, they hold a fork in their left hand from cutting vegetables to delivering food. After cutting, the Americans put down the knife and changed their right hand to hold the fork to send the food into their mouth.
When the knife and fork are used together, the fork posture is similar to holding a knife, but the fork teeth should face down. Usually the knife and fork are used together when eating the main course, but if you don't need to cut with a knife, you can cut with a fork. Both methods are correct.
Usage of spoon. Hold the spoon in your right hand and the fork in the same way, but your fingers must be at the end of the spoon handle. You can't eat anything but soup.
The use of napkins. When eating, the big napkin can be folded in half (usually folded in half) and spread on the leg, and the small napkin can be spread directly on the leg. Be careful not to hang napkins on your chest (but in places with little space, such as airplanes). When you wipe your mouth, use the top of the napkin and the inside to wipe your mouth. Never use it to wipe your face or clean knives, forks, plates, etc.
Question 4: Do you eat western food with a knife in your left hand or your right hand? In fact, there are no requirements and regulations on how to hold a knife and fork. It is a habit, just like most people in China hold chopsticks in their right hand, while left-handed people hold chopsticks in their left hand; They are the same, which is a habit. Most people hold a fork in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, because they are also accustomed to more activities in their right hand, and the hand holding a knife needs to cut hard, so there are many knives in their right hand, but their left-handed people also hold a knife in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, so there is no etiquette rule about which hand should take what. On the contrary, we should pay attention to etiquette: handle with care and don't make a sound; Don't put knives and forks casually; Don't make any noise when eating; Avoid using knives, forks, spoons, etc. Collision tableware; You can't pick your teeth at the dinner table; Can't speak loudly; Wait, these are their etiquette requirements.
Question 5: Do you eat western food with a knife in your left hand or a fork in your right hand? The etiquette on the table of western food is formed by people for a long time. Some old rules, such as don't put your elbow on the table from beginning to end when eating, and so on. , no longer be observed by everyone; However, many "rules and regulations" are still observed. We can list some taboos that can't be violated: the order of ordinary western food, usually bread, soup, various dishes, pudding, coffee or black tea. According to the formal rules, guests should sit on the left side of the chair when they are seated, and also on the left side of the chair when they leave. Only when the host spreads out the napkin first can the napkin placed on the table be placed on their knees. It's the same when you put it away. You should put your master first, or it will be impolite. When laying a napkin, it is necessary to fold the napkin into two layers and put it on your lap on formal occasions. They can't be completely spread out, let alone stuffed into your tunic. However, an ordinary dinner doesn't need to be so formal, and it doesn't matter if you want to spread it all out. Sometimes you have to leave the table temporarily because of something, so don't put your napkin on the table, because it means that if you stop eating, the waiter will not serve you any more, so you must put your napkin on the chair when you leave. After a meal, the napkin is roughly folded, or it can be placed on the table without folding, but it should be thrown around. If you find something dirty in the cup or waist, don't shout loudly to attract the attention of the deskmate, but quietly tell the waiter to take it away and take another one. The same is true for changing dishes and tableware. When drinking a drink, wipe your lips with a napkin first, and then drink a middle drink to prevent the rabbit's food residue from touching your face or throwing it into the glass. If you have a napkin, you'd better not wipe your mouth with it. Don't push the used plates aside or pile them up. It's best not to touch any plates. You can leave the crumbs on the tablecloth. If you accidentally leave a little food, you can carefully pick it up with a napkin when the waiter removes the plate.
To taste western food culture, I suggest you have time to visit Maxim's Restaurant in Chongwenmen. The western restaurant there was decorated according to the unique French romantic style at the end of 19, with gorgeous and elegant decoration, a small band playing classical songs in the orchestra pit and waiters wearing evening dresses. This is the tradition of Chersi's restaurant, where customers feast their eyes first (restaurant layout), then their ears (soft music) and finally their mouths (delicious French food). Scholars who study western food, after long-term discussion and induction, think that the most important thing to eat western food is to pay attention to six "M's".
The first one is "menu"
When you enter the western restaurant, the waiter will show you to your seat first. When you sit down, the menu will be presented first. The menu is regarded as the facade of the restaurant and the boss has always attached great importance to it. The cover of the menu is made of the best cloth, and some even make all kinds of beautiful patterns with soft sheepskin. It seems inappropriate to call it a menu here, but it should be called a "menu".
I have a unique knack for ordering good dishes. No matter how I eat in western restaurants at home and abroad, the dishes I order are often delicious and cheap, and are often praised by my colleagues. My way is to open the menu and see which dish is named after the hotel. I often take it. I know that chefs don't joke about their own names, so the dishes they make great efforts are sure to be delicious. Please get to the point.
Speaking of ordering food, reading the menu reminds me of an incident that happened in Maxim's restaurant nearly 20 years ago. Four young "ten thousand households" farmers walked into this luxurious restaurant. They have money and want to try a famous French dish. The restaurant manager and waiter were overjoyed, warmly welcomed them to their seats, politely showed their recipes and respectfully asked them to order. Unexpectedly, one of them pushed the menu aside and said disdainfully, "What do you want? You see, what is expensive, we have plenty of money! " Four farmers spent nearly 2000 yuan to eat a famous French dish, but they made a fool of themselves from time to time. They didn't know how to use a knife and fork, so their napkins finally turned into handkerchiefs. ...
Later, the French general manager talked to me about this matter, and I was very moved: "From these four young people, I was very excited to see that China farmers were really rich. But it is hard for us to understand that China friends eat western food without looking at the menu. In France, even President Charles de Gaulle and President Destin have to look at the menu to order western food. There is no problem of having money but not money, because looking at the menu and ordering food has become an indispensable procedure for eating western food and a way of life. "
The second is "music"
Luxury and advanced western restaurants should have bands and play some soft music, and ordinary small western restaurants should also play some wonderful music. However, the most important thing here is the "audibility" of music, that is, the sound should be "audible but inaudible", that is, it should be concentrated ... >>
Question 6: When eating western food, which hand should hold the knife and which hand should hold the fork? Holding the knife in the right hand is convenient for cutting the steak fork in the left hand (1). When eating with a knife and fork, fix the left side with a fork, and cut a small piece of dipping sauce with a knife and send it to your mouth. The American way of eating is to cut all the food into small pieces first, and then change your right hand and take a fork to eat slowly. But if you eat juicy meat dishes, gravy will flow all over the plate, which is unsightly. So, you'd better take a bite. (2) The principle of using a knife and fork: The basic principle is to hold a knife or spoon in your right hand and a fork in your left hand.

(3) How to place the knife and fork after a short rest: put down the knife and fork for a short rest in the middle of eating, and put the knife and fork in the center of the plate in a figure of eight. If the knife and fork stick out of the plate, it is neither safe nor beautiful. It's impolite to wave a knife and fork when talking. Put the knife and fork at four o'clock after eating.
