When attending a wedding reception, put the tableware in the "in-meal" position anyway. As long as the host and guest finish eating, they will immediately put away all the dishes. Therefore, when hosting a banquet, remember to take the guest as the center.
At the banquet, each dish uses a pair of knives and forks, and the knives and forks placed in front of you are taken from the outside in turn. When the knife and fork are used up, the serving is over. The knife and fork handles are placed side by side on the plate, indicating that the dish has been used, and the waiter will take the plate away.

In general western restaurants and cafeterias, there are usually no more than three pairs of knives and forks on the table. The western restaurant will provide you with three pairs of knives and forks. Knife and fork have different specifications and sizes according to different uses. When eating meat, whether you want to cut it with a knife or not, you should use a big knife. When eating salad, sweets or some appetizers, generally use a smaller fork and spoon, and when drinking soup, use a larger spoon. The knife on the left is a butter knife, which is specially used to wipe bread. Never use it to cut meat. ?
However, in a professional high-end western restaurant or steak house, for a set meal with more than three courses, you need to put a new knife and fork with the dish after using it. Because of the special attention, the knives and forks used in the steak house are special, and the pursuit is to completely separate the whole line of steak.
