Ordering: I know that western food can be divided into seven categories, so I must have at least one item in every step of formal western food activities. If you are together, the first course, soup, main course, dessert and coffee will be fine! As a side dish, you can order a piece or two of bread for each person and add some butter according to your personal needs. ) Western food is divided into meals. It is customary for individuals to order their own dishes, so the guests should pay attention to this, instead of doing everything when ordering Chinese food. If the guests can accept the host's taste, they will generally say the same or similar dishes as the host.
Order wine: If the dish is meat, it should be served with red wine and fish with white. Have a glass of champagne, sherry or Jill before serving, so that you can usually choose more than one drink when eating western food. In addition, the acid in western-style salad has greatly damaged the mellow wine, so you can choose acidic wine to match it, so that the acid contained in the wine will be decomposed by the lactic acid of the salad, which is absolutely matched.
How to eat: 1. Napkin: After ordering the food, open the napkin before the food is delivered, fold it inward by one third, and let two thirds lie flat on the leg to cover the leg above the knee. It's best not to stuff napkins into the neckline. 2. Drink soup: you can't suck when you drink soup. You should first scoop up the soup from back to front with a spoon, put the bottom of the spoon on your lower lip and send the soup to your mouth. The handle of the spoon forms a 5-degree angle with the mouth, and the upper body leans forward slightly. When there is not much soup left in the bowl, you can lift the bowl slightly with your fingers. If you put the soup in a bowl with a grip ring, you can drink it directly with the grip ring, not with other bowls. 3. Bread: First tear it into small pieces with both hands, and then eat it with your left hand. When eating hard bread, tearing it by hand is not only laborious, but also crumbs will fall all over the floor. You can cut it in half with a knife and then tear it into pieces to eat. Don't cut bread like a saw. First, insert the knife into the central part, cut it near the body, and then turn the bread around to cut off the other half. You can fix the bread when you cut it to avoid making noise. 4. Eat fish: Fish is tender and crisp, so the restaurant uses a spoon instead of a knife. This kind of spoon is slightly bigger and flatter than ordinary spoons. It can not only divide vegetables, but also scoop sauce. If you want to eat other mixed vegetables, you'd better use a fork. For fishbone, you should first stab a straight line near the gills with a knife, and the tip of the knife should not pierce through, but should pierce through half. After picking up the upper body of the fish, start from the beginning, put the knife under the bone, cut it in the direction of the fish tail, remove the bone and move it to the corner of the plate. Finally, cut off the fish tail. 5. Meat dishes: British people hold a fork in their left hand, with the tip of the fork facing down, and tie up the meat and send it to their mouths. If it is a burnt vegetable, they will put it on a fork with a knife and send it to their mouth. Americans cut meat in the same way, then put down the knife in their right hand and put on a fork, with the tip of the fork facing up under the meat. Without knives, they shoveled the meat into their mouths and ate the burnt vegetables in the same way. 6. Sauce: The use of a spoon for sauce is the same as that of a general spoon. You should use a fork to push the dish onto the sauce spoon, instead of fork the dish and pour the sauce with the sauce spoon, because the latter is against etiquette.
Precautions for knives and forks: western food uses knives and forks, so the basic action is: cut with a knife in your right hand and fork with a fork in your left hand. If there are more than two knives and forks, you should use them in turn from the outermost one. The way to hold a knife and fork is to gently hold the tail end and press the index finger on the handle. Hold the pen and hold the spoon. 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 fold and cut them with a knife and fork. Soft food can be put on a fork and arranged with a knife. If you want to put down your knife and fork to have a rest or talk about something in the middle of a meal, you should put your 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.
