A, western tableware usage:

1, first hold the food with a fork, then cut it into small pieces with a knife, and then feed it into the mouth with a fork. Europeans don't change hands when using them, that is, they use a left-handed fork from cutting to feeding entrance. After the Americans cut it, they put the knife down and fed it to the entrance with their right fork.

2. When the knife and fork are used together, the posture of the fork is similar to that of holding the knife, but the fork teeth should be downward. Knife and fork are usually used when feeding the main course, but if a knife is not needed, a fork can be used for cutting. Both methods are correct.

3. Use a spoon. Hold the spoon with your right hand and the fork with your fingers, but be sure to hold your fingers at the end of the spoon handle. Don't drink soup, take other food with a spoon.

4, napkin use. When eating, the large napkin can be folded (usually in half) and folded outward on the leg. Small napkins can be stretched directly on the legs. Please note that napkins should not be hung on your chest (but in places with little space, such as airplanes). When you wipe your mouth, please use the top of the napkin and wipe your mouth with its inside. Do not use it to wipe the face or wipe knives, forks, dishes, etc.

Two. Etiquette of eating western food

1。 Sit upright, and elbows should not be placed on the table. Don't fiddle with the tableware on the table. Fold the napkin gently on your knee.

2。 When eating with a knife and fork, take the knife and fork from the outside to the inside, fork in your left hand, knife in your right hand, cut food with a fork, fork in your left hand, and cut the saw into small pieces with your right hand, and then send it to the entrance. Use a fork to enter the entrance. When the knife is used, the blade cannot be outward. When you put down your knife and fork, you should put it in the shape of an "eight" and put it on one side of the plate. The leaf faces itself, indicating that it will continue to eat.

After each dish, put the knife and fork in the tray. If it's a conversation, you can hold the knife and fork. When you don't use a knife, you can also hold a fork in your right hand, but if you need to make gestures, you should put down your knife and fork, don't put it in the air, don't hold it in one hand, wipe your mouth with your napkin in the other hand, and wipe it with your napkin in the other. On the other hand, hold the plate in your hand. Remember, don't put one end of the knife and fork on the plate and the other end on the table at any time.

3, food should not be too much at every entrance, so don't talk when chewing, and don't take the initiative to talk to people.

4。 Don't sip the soup. Shut up and chew when eating. Don't hit your mouth, make a noise. If the soup is overheated, please cool it a little. Don't blow it with your mouth. When serving soup, scoop out the spoon from the spoon with a spoon. When the soup in the soup pot is finished, lift the outside of the soup pot slightly with your left hand and scoop it out with a spoon. After drinking the soup, put the spoon in the soup pot (bowl) and point it at yourself.

5。 Don't spit directly when eating fish or meat and other thorns or bone plates. Cover your mouth with a napkin and spit gently on the fork. If there are still a few dishes in the plate, don't scrape the bottom of the plate with a fork, and don't eat with your fingers. You should eat a small piece of bread or fork. When eating noodles, first roll up the noodles with a fork and then send them to the door.

6, the bread should be broken into small pieces of the entrance, do not bite the whole piece of bread. Butter and jam should also be broken into small pieces before kneading.

7。 When eating chicken, people in Europe and America mostly eat chicken breast. When you eat chicken legs, you should remove the bones first, not eat them with your hands. When eating fish, don't turn over the fish. After eating the upper layer, remove the fish bones with a knife and fork, and then eat the lower layer. When eating meat, you must cut a piece of food, and the piece should not be cut too big, otherwise the meat will be cut into pieces once.

8, don't make up on the table, wipe your nose with a napkin. Burping is the biggest taboo. If this happens, apologize to the people around you immediately. Don't stand up while eating. The food you can't sit on should be given to others.

9. You can't eat while eating. Unwilling food should also be put on a plate to show politeness. The host encouraged the guests to add vegetables. If the appetite is not too bad, it may be that the owner may be proud of it.

10, we shouldn't leave the table while eating. If you really need to leave, you should whisper to the guests around you. If you don't drink, you should put your cup on your lips to show your respect. When someone pours wine for you, if not, just say "no, thank you!" " Or cover your cup with your hand.
