Banquet etiquette 1
(1) When you are invited to dinner, you are likely to be more interested in the people who eat at the same table and the conversation at the table than the food.
Therefore, when eating, you should make as little noise and movements as possible.
(2) As soon as the hostess picks up the napkin, you can also pick up the napkin and put it on your lap.
Sometimes there is a bun wrapped in a napkin; In that case, bring it here and put it on a small plate next to it.
(3) If the napkin is large, put it in double folds on your knees; If it's small, open it all.
Never pin your napkin on your collar or vest, and don't rub it with your hands.
You can wipe off oil stains or dirt on your mouth or fingers with a corner of your napkin.
Never use it to clean knives, forks or plates.
(4) Dinner usually begins with soup.
The biggest spoon in front of your seat is the spoon, next to the plate on your right.
Don't use the spoon in the middle of the table by mistake, because it may be used to get vegetables and jam.
(5) Guests are not allowed to eat any food until the hostess picks up her spoon or fork.
The hostess usually starts after each guest gets the food.
She won't invite you to dinner first, as China is used to.
When she picks up a spoon or fork, it means that everyone can do it.
(6) If there are fish dishes, they are usually served after the soup. There may be a fork for eating fish on the table, or it may be similar to a fork for eating meat, usually smaller. In short, the harpoon is placed on the outside of the meat fork away from the plate.
(7) Usually, before the fish is served, the bones of the fish have been removed. If the fish you eat still has thorns, you can hold a bread roll or a piece of bread in your left hand and poke the thorns with a knife in your right hand.
(8) If there is a thorn in your mouth, take it out with your fingers quietly and as unnoticed as possible, and put it on the edge of the plate. Don't put it on the table or throw it underground.
Seven Taboos of French Table Etiquette II
If you have to be late or even cancel the appointment after agreeing to the other party's invitation, you must inform the other party in advance.
It's acceptable to have a meeting a little late, but if it exceeds 15 minutes, it will leave the other party with a bad impression that they don't attach importance to the appointment.
When ordering, you should choose the food you want to eat. If you can't find a clue after reading the menu, you can ask the waiter to recommend the specialty of the restaurant, but make it clear that if you want to eat seafood, don't eat red meat. Remember that you can't make up your mind about everything. People who only know "yes but" will only add trouble to the guests at the same table.
There are many details to pay attention to when eating, but in fact most of them are daily etiquette. As long as you keep calm, don't make big moves, don't make any noise, and don't interfere with others' eating, you are qualified.

If you need seasoning but you can't reach it, you can ask the other person to pass it to you. Never stand up and lean forward to get it.
5. Wipe your hands and mouth after eating. Don't wipe hard with a napkin. Pay attention to manners and gently print off the oil stains on your mouth or fingers with a corner of a napkin.
6. No matter how comfortable the stool is, sit upright and don't lean back. You can lean forward slightly when eating, and keep your arms close to your body to avoid bumping into the next door.
7. After eating every dish, it is ugly to put the knife and fork on the four sides or cross them. The correct way is to put the knife and fork side by side on the plate, with the fork teeth facing up.
