For many years, holding a fork in the left hand and a knife in the right hand has been one of the basic table manners for eating western food. According to a recent survey by the well-known search engine Ask Heeves, nowadays, many British young people under the age of 30 prefer American "shearing" to eat western food.
That is, after cutting food with a knife in the right hand, change the fork in the left hand to the right hand before eating. Although this kind of dining etiquette is despised by the old school people, it has to be admitted that "one-handed fork" will become one of the new table manners in the future.

Western etiquette:
1, sit down
The most suitable sitting position is to sit from the left. When the chair is opened, the body will stand up straight at a distance that almost touches the table. The leader pushes the chair in, and the legs bend and touch the chair behind, so you can sit down. When eating, your upper arms and back should lean on the back of the chair, and your abdomen should keep a fist distance from the table. It is best to avoid sitting with your feet crossed.
Step 2 order wine
In high-end restaurants, bartenders who are good at tasting will bring wine lists. For people who don't know much about wine, it's best to tell them the dishes they choose, the budget and the taste of their favorite wine, and the master bartender will help them choose. If the main course is meat, it should be served with red wine and fish with white wine. Before serving, you might as well have a glass of light wine such as champagne, sherry or Jill.
