The difference between western food and Chinese food etiquette
1. Different seats
When eating Chinese food, the seating order is mostly determined according to the generation, "respecting the east" or "facing the door", while when eating western food, the seat facing the door and farthest from the door belongs to the hostess, and the seat opposite the hostess is the host's seat. The seat on the right of the hostess is the first guest seat, usually a man, and the seat on the right of the male host is the second guest seat, usually the wife of the guest of honor.
2. The tableware is different
Chinese tableware is generally simple, mostly cups, plates, bowls, plates, chopsticks, spoons and so on. While western-style tableware is varied, different dishes are enjoyed with different knives and forks, and the usage of tableware is also quite particular. Even the wine glass should correspond to the wine you drink.
3. The order and position of serving are different.
Chinese food is mostly in the order of soup, main course, staple food, table wine or fruit, while western food is in the order of appetizer, salad, soup, fruit, table wine, staple food, dessert and coffee. Chinese food will serve all the dishes at once and at the same time, while western food is to finish one dish and then another.
4. Different dress codes
Unless in a formal occasion, Chinese food does not require diners to dress casually, while western food requires diners to dress casually. Especially in high-end western restaurants, men should wear neat shirts, shoes and ties, and women should wear suits and shoes with heels. Neither men nor women can wear casual clothes to eat in high-end western restaurants.
Western food etiquette mainly refers to the dining etiquette in Europe and America. Although different countries have different requirements for details, in continental Europe, especially in France, western food etiquette is generally the mainstream. This set of standard etiquette formed by westerners at the dinner table is not innate and needs understanding and training the day after tomorrow. As "foreigners", to truly do as the Romans do, we must first have a systematic and complete understanding of western food etiquette, and constantly strengthen training and pay attention to every detail, so that we can all become "gentlemen" and "ladies".
