Western food articles:

1. Spoon up the soup and drink it slowly. Don't put your mouth to the edge of the dish and purr. This is an indecent move. Don't spoon into the soup. When the soup is left for a short time, hold the inside of the dish with one hand, and then spoon the remaining soup. The spoon should be scooped out. Don't lower your head to drink soup.

Second, eat the main course (steak)

The correct way is: hold a fork in your left hand and a knife in your right hand, and cut the steak into small pieces so that you can eat one piece at a time. Put the meat in your mouth with your mouth closed. Don't bite off the whole steak with a fork when eating it. Doing it is also a bad habit. When cutting meat, don't put your hands together, which is not effective and ugly. Don't wolf down your food. It's not only impolite, but also impolite.

Drinking supplies:

Gently hold the foot of the cup with three fingers.

Alcohol service is usually that the waiter is responsible for pouring a small amount of wine into the cup, so that the guests can tell whether there is any quality problem. Consider it a formality. Take a sip. Good answer. Then, the waiter will come and pour the wine. Don't start taking the cup at this time, but put it on the table for the waiter to pour.

The correct posture to hold the label is to gently hold the foot of the cup with your fingers. In order to prevent the temperature of the hand from increasing the temperature of the wine, hold the foot of the cup with your thumb, middle finger and forefinger, and put the little finger on the bottom of the cup to fix it.

Drinking method

When drinking, never inhale, but tilt the glass, just like putting the wine on your tongue. Shake the glass gently and let the wine come into contact with the air to enhance the mellow taste of the wine, but don't shake the glass violently.

In addition, it's impolite to drink in one breath, look at people through a cup when drinking, drink with a cup, drink while eating, and print lipstick on the edge of the cup. Don't wipe the lipstick mark on the rim of the cup with your fingers. You'd better wipe it with a paper towel. Soup can't make a sound when you drink it. You should scoop it from the inside out with a spoon, and never drink it directly from the soup plate.

Bread and spaghetti bread are usually served with butter. When eating, break the bread into small pieces, butter it, and eat it with your hands. Don't bite off the whole bread, but wipe it before eating. When eating spaghetti, you can use a fork and spoon. Slowly stir up a small amount (four or five slices) of spaghetti with a fork and wrap it around the fork teeth to form a ball. At the same time, you can eat it conveniently with a spoon.

Meat and fish The meat in western food is usually very big. Whether it's lamb chops, steak or pork chops, you should cut them into small pieces with a knife and fork and eat them while cutting. Don't cut it all at once before eating, and don't put the whole meat in your mouth with a fork and eat it while biting. You can eat chicken or lobster with your hands. Chicken, quail and frog have small leg bones, which can be grabbed by hands and eaten with forks, but the bones need to be taken out of their mouths with fingers. Fish in western food generally have bone spurs removed, which is very convenient to eat. For a small amount of small thorns, pinch them out by hand and put them on the plate, and don't spit them directly on the plate.

Salad can be used as the first course, side dish and spacer. Large vegetables in salad can be cut into small pieces (slices) with a fork or knife. Peas in salad can be pushed onto the fork with a fork in your left hand and a knife in your right hand. The American way of eating is very simple, that is, eating with a fork.

The dessert fork is used for dessert and fruitcake and cake, and the dessert spoon is used for ice cream and pudding. In many countries, fruit is served as dessert or together with dessert, usually fruit salad or assorted dishes. If it is unprocessed fruit, use a knife and fork: pears or apples should not be completely peeled, but should be cut into four to six pieces with a knife, peeled and pitted before eating; Bananas should be peeled first, and then cut into several sections to eat. When there is no knife and fork, you can take the stone out of your mouth by hand and put it on the edge of the fruit bowl. You can't just throw up on the table.

Coffee and tea The last "dish" of western food is coffee and tea. When drinking coffee, you can hold the cup handle in your right hand and the saucer in your left hand, or you can just hold the cup and leave the saucer on the stage. After a sip, you must put the cup back on the saucer. Teaspoons are only used for stirring. When it is used up, it should be put back in the saucer. You can't use it to scoop water to drink. Drink China's green tea and mint tea without anything. If it is Indian tea, black tea or English black tea, you can add a little milk and sugar.
