So now share some more detailed etiquette details, although everyone knows.
1. Knife and fork: When eating with a knife and fork, take the knife and fork from outside to inside, fork in your left hand and knife in your right hand; When cutting things, hold the fork in your left hand to hold the food, cut the food into small pieces with a knife in your right hand, and send it to your mouth with a fork. When using a knife, the blade should not be outward. When eating, put down the knife and fork in a figure of eight and put them on the edge of the plate respectively. The blade is pointed at yourself, indicating that you will continue to eat. After eating each dish, put the knife and fork together on the plate. If you are talking, you can hold the knife and fork.
2. napkin: don't wipe the lower part of your face with a napkin, but gently wipe it. Don't shake off your napkin and fold it. Don't wave in the air like a flag. The napkin should be on your knee. If you leave the table, put the napkin on the chair and push the chair closer to the table. Move carefully and gently. Don't fold napkins at the end of the meal; Otherwise, the waiter who doesn't know the situation may give it to other guests. At the end of the meal, pick up the napkin from the middle and gently put it on the left side of the plate on the dining table.
3. Chewing: Keep your mouth closed when chewing. Don't lick your lips or smack your lips. Don't talk casually as long as you have food in your mouth. How embarrassing it is to spill the rice.
4. Sitting posture: Sit up straight and don't put your elbows on the dining table. If your hand is uncomfortable in any position, put it on your thigh.
5. Speed: Not too fast. Swallowing food is not only harmful to health, but also unsightly, especially when eating with others. It is impolite to do so. When eating together, everyone should eat the same amount, while maintaining the speed of starting and ending. When you are still drinking soup, it is not advisable for others to taste sweets.
6. Pick your teeth: If you have a stuffed tooth, don't pick your teeth at the dinner table. If you really can't stand it, find an excuse to go to the toilet, so that you are comfortable and others are comfortable.
7. Smoking: Even if you eat in the smoking area, you should not smoke while eating. Smoking will affect other people's appetite, which is not in harmony with the whole atmosphere. You should wait until after dinner, and remember: don't use the plate as an ashtray.
8. Articles: Do not put ladies' handbags and men's suitcases on the dining table, and do not put keys, hats, gloves, glasses, glasses cases, cigarettes and other articles on the dining table. In short, nothing that has nothing to do with eating can be served.
Abiding by dining etiquette is an important means to create an image, enhance one's own image and respect each other. Western food etiquette is far more than that. I hope that while you love food, you should respect food culture and improve your humanistic quality.
