◆ Choosing Wine Glasses
If you have four glasses in front of you, don't just pick up any one of them and use it. Know the difference. The large glass is used for water, and people don't use it to toast. Therefore, you can't hold up the big glass when you toast, the medium glass is used for red wine, the small glass is used for white wine, and the long thin glass is used for champagne.
◆ Drinking, water, beverage etiquette
When drinking from the cup, you should first swallow the chewing in the mouth, then put the knife, fork in the plate into a figure of eight or cross, and then use a napkin to wipe the lips clean, and then drink wine, water and so on.
When drinking wine, water, etc., the Chinese are accustomed to lifting their cups and tilting their heads back to drink it all in one gulp, while in the West this is precisely what should be avoided; the most civilized way to do this in the West is to keep your head straight, sip and drink, and always leave a little bit of wine in the cup at the end of the drink.
When drinking beverages, soups, wine, water, etc., do not suck it out with your lips, but drink it gently, sip by sip.
In the case of a toast, it is always the initiative of the host or the person with the highest status or position.
When holding the cup, one hand should grasp the full cup, do not raise the pinky or other fingers when holding the cup.
◆ Using a knife and fork
If you want to put down your knife and fork during a meal, place them on either side of the plate, with the heads of the knife and fork pointing inward.
If you have finished your meal (even if there is still food left on your plate), place your knife and fork parallel and diagonally across your plate, with the tines facing down. Keep the fork close to you and the knife away from you.
When pushing food from the plate onto the fork, use the bread, not the knife.
Don't hold the knife all the time and don't point it upwards. Instead, put the knife down as soon as you've cut the food so that it's on the right side of the plate parallel to the plate, and then use the fork to eat it.
Note that if you don't know how to use a knife and fork correctly, just watch what others are doing and follow suit.
When there are many knives and forks on the table, the rule is to use the outermost knife and fork.
When using a knife, cut with the blade down and your index finger on the spine.
◆ Eating bread
Place the bread on your left side plate. When eating bread, one does not use a knife to cut the bread, but tears off a piece of bread with one's hands and puts it in one's mouth. Therefore, one also does not use one's mouth to bite the bread directly, unless it is a sandwich.
If you want to spread butter on the bread, you should tear off the bread with your hands and then spread the butter in small pieces. Do not spread the whole bread at once. At breakfast, of course, butter and jam can be spread on a long half-slice of stick bread. But not at a regular meal.
◆ All other kinds of etiquette
All food is eaten with a knife, fork or spoon, except for eating bread by hand.
Lettuce is eaten without cutting it with a knife, only with the edge of a fork.
It's best to leave no leftovers on your plate. Of course, you don't have to "shabu-shabu" it.
When using a napkin, lay it flat on your lap. When you're done with your meal, fold it slightly and leave it at the table. Don't fold them completely and don't throw them on the table in a ball.
Toothpicks are rarely used at a Western table, so it's best not to use them.
If you spill a glass, don't make a fuss, just apologize. It is better to apologize again at the end of the meal.
If you want to spit out a hard core or fishbone in your mouth, don't spit it directly into your hand, but put it on the edge of your plate with a fork.
When eating, pick up the food with a fork and put it in your mouth, rather than looking down and approaching it with your mouth.
The dialog, you may have to design it yourself~ or even write it out in Chinese and see if someone can translate it into English for you.
