Western Etiquette Knowledge

1, when you are seated, your body should be upright, your elbows should not be placed on the table, and you must not stand on foot. The distance from the dining table is convenient for using tableware.

Don't fiddle with the tableware set on the table.

Fold the napkin on your lap gently.

2, when using knife and fork to eat, take knife and fork from outside to inside, keep the fork in your left hand and hold the knife in your right hand. When you cut something, hold the fork in your left hand and hold the food. Cut it into small pieces with the right hand and use the fork to send the entrance.

When using the knife, the blade must not go outward.

When you put down your knife and fork, you should put it in a "eight" shape and put it on the side of the plate.

The blade is pointing towards itself, indicating that it should continue to eat.

After every dish, put the knife and fork together in the tray.

If it's a conversation, you can hold a knife and fork without putting it down.

When you do not use a knife, you can use your right hand to hold a fork. But if you need to gesture, you should put down your knife and fork. Do not wave or shake hands with your knife and fork in the air. Do not use a knife or fork in one hand. Wipe the mouth with the napkin in the other hand, and not take the wine cup with the other hand.

Remember, at any time, do not put one end of the knife and fork on the plate and the other end on the table.

3, don't SIP when you eat soup, shut up and chew when you eat.

Don't lick your lips or smack the mouth to make a sound.

If the soup is overheated, please wait until it is slightly cooler. Don't blow it with your mouth.

When the soup is served, scoop out the spoon from the inside with a spoon. When the soup in the soup pan is finished, use the left hand to slightly raise the outer side of the soup pan and scoop it out with a spoon.

When the soup is finished, put the spoon in the soup pan (bowl), and the spoon point to yourself.

When you eat spines or bone dishes such as fish and meat, do not spit directly. Use a napkin to cover your mouth and gently spit on the fork and put it in the tray. 4.

If there is a small amount of dishes left in the tray, do not use the fork to scrape the bottom of the dish, not to eat with fingers. You should eat with a small piece of bread or fork.

When eating noodles, use the fork to roll up the noodles first and then send them to the entrance.

5, the bread is usually broken into small pieces, and do not bite with the whole piece of bread.

Butter and jam should also be broken into small pieces before rubbed.

6, when eating chicken, people in Europe and America mostly take chicken breast for meat.

When you eat chicken drumsticks, you should first remove the bones and do not eat them with your hands.

When eating fish, do not turn the fish over. After eating the upper layer, remove the fish bone with the knife and fork, then eat the lower layer to eat the meat, cut one piece and eat one piece. The lump can not be cut too big, or the meat is cut into lump at a time.

7, when you drink coffee, if you want to add milk or sugar, add a small spoon and stir it evenly, then put the spoon on the coffee pad.

When you drink, you should take a cup in your right hand, drink it on the left hand side, and drink it directly with your mouth. Don't ladle it with a spoonful spoonful of spoon.

When eating fruit, do not bite the fruit. You should first cut the four petal with a fruit knife, then use the knife to remove the skin, the core and fork to eat.

8, eat meat with bones and meat with knife and fork. When you eat meat with bones, you can eat it with your hands.

If you want to eat more elegantly, use a knife better.

Use the fork to fix the whole piece of meat (you can press the fork upward and press the meat on the back with the fork). Insert the knife along the bone with the knife and cut the meat.

The best thing is to eat side by side.

When you have to eat with your hands, hand washing water will be attached.

When hand washing water and meat with bones come together, it means "please eat with your hands".

After you eat something with your fingers, wash your fingers in a bowl filled with hand washing water.

When you eat ordinary dishes, if you dirty your fingers, you can ask the waiter to wash your hands. Please wash gently when you wash your hands.

9, eating bread can be dipped in sauce, even without sauce. It's a courtesy to a chef.

Be careful not to lick the bread plate very clean, but fork it into a piece of bread that has been torn to pieces, and dip in a little sauce to eat.
