2. Western food eating method of eating meat

Westerners eat meat (referring to lamb chops, steak, pork chops, etc.) are generally large pieces. When eating, use a knife or fork to cut the meat into small pieces, just the right size for a bite. Eat one piece, cut one piece, don't cut it all at once, and never use a fork to hold the whole piece of meat to your mouth while biting, chewing, or swallowing.

On the occasion of eating beef (steak), since you can decide on the degree of rare or cooked according to your own preferences, when you make a reservation, the waiter or host will ask you the degree of rare or cooked.

When eating meat with bones, such as chicken, you should not "do it" directly, but use a fork to hold the whole piece of meat in place (you can turn the fork upward and press the back of the fork against the meat), then insert a knife along the bone and cut the meat, eating it as you cut. If the bone is very small, you can put it in your mouth with the fork, separate the meat from the bone in your mouth, then cover your mouth with a napkin, spit it out onto the fork and put it on a plate. However, for meat that requires direct "hands-on" handling, the hand sanitizer will often be served at the same time as the meat. Be sure to wipe your hands and mouth with a napkin from time to time.

Don't turn the fish over when you eat it; use a knife and fork to pick out the bones after you finish the top layer, then eat the bottom layer.

If the salad is a spacer dish it is usually served with cheese, nachos, etc. Take one or two slices of bread and place them on your salad plate, then take two or three slices of nachos. The cheese and salad should be eaten with a fork, while the nachos can be eaten with your hands.

If the entree salad comes with dressing, pour the dressing over a portion of the salad first and add more dressing after you finish that portion. Add until you reach the lettuce leaf portion at the bottom of the bowl so that pouring the dressing is easy.

The customary way to eat a salad should be to cut a large lettuce leaf into small pieces with a fork, or with a knife and fork if it's not easy to cut. Cut one piece at a time, and cut it again when you're done eating.
