Westerners really pay great attention to etiquette when eating. Let me first talk about the knowledge of tableware placement in western table manners. The tableware in the west is mainly knives and forks, and the dining system is implemented.
1, knife, fork, spoon, etc. They are all placed next to the plates, and some small plates are usually placed in the center of the dining table. This is called a decorative plate, which is used to hold ordinary dishes.
2. On the left hand side are bread plates and cream knives, and on the opposite side of the decorative plate are small spoons and knives and forks for holding coffee or snacks.
3. Napkins are generally placed above or on the left side of the decorative board;
4, glass tableware in the upper right corner, easy to take. Generally speaking, cups of different shapes and sizes have different uses. The largest goblet is used to hold water, the second largest goblet is used to drink red wine, the slightly slender goblet is used to drink white wine, and the glass used to drink champagne or sherry is different.
One of Western Table Etiquette-Attendance Etiquette
1, western food is very polite, and the location of the banquet is generally arranged. Generally speaking, the gentleman or lady who goes with you will not be arranged to sit next to you, because in Europe and America, banquets are the best time to make friends and acquaintances have many opportunities to chat.
2. The upper and lower parts of the rectangular dining table are the seats of the host and hostess respectively. The male guest of honor is usually arranged on the right side of the hostess, and the seat of the female guest of honor is on the right side of the host. Other guests are seated alternately by men and women.
3. When a man takes a seat, he should be a gentleman and help the lady on the right to open the chair, and then sit down by herself after the lady sits firmly.
After everyone is seated, no matter what happens, wait for the host to take the napkin before taking it. When you wipe your mouth, gently press the end of the napkin along your lips, and the dirty part will roll in. It is against table manners to wipe your sweat or nose with a napkin and print lipstick on a napkin.
Dining Etiquette —— One of Western Table Etiquette
1. The dining habit of Europeans and Americans is to eat with plates. There can only be one dish on the table, and the first dish can only serve the second. However, according to the dining situation, all tableware is placed on both sides of the diner's plate and used from outside to inside.
The menu of Europeans and Americans is usually three to five courses. The order of serving is usually appetizing thick soup as the first course, then cold dishes, then main course, and finally dessert. You can't just eat, but talk to people around you.
After dessert, when the hostess stands up with a napkin and puts it on the table, she can put it down and leave her seat. When leaving the seat, the man should also help the lady next to him pull the chair open.
Generally, you can watch more such classic movies, such as Roman Holiday, Pride and Prejudice, and The Princess Diary. Their manners are the best example.
