Classic Summary Of Western Etiquette

Take the knife in the left hand and fork in the right hand.

Americans sometimes change when they are tired.

Europeans should not change their usage.

When you finish eating, don't put your knives and forks together in the tray, then the waiter will come to help you to collect it. Even if there's still lots of delicious food you haven't eaten, you can't say, "I haven't finished yet," and will lose face.

Put the knife and fork on the left and right sides to show you are finished, so the waiter wants to collect them.

How do we do it?

Put the knife and fork on both sides of the plate respectively.

I remember once when a Chinese came to the United States, he went to the airport just after he got off the plane.

The waiters put a bowl of water next to everyone, and as the Chinese just dropped out of the plane, thirsty, so they took the bowl and drank it down, when everyone stared at him in astonishment.

His tutor was the highest among them. In order to save the embarrassing scene, he picked up the bowl and drank it. Everyone saw that the tutor drank it and drank it down.

Later, after dinner, he was told that the bowl of water was used to wash his hands before meals. He felt guilty at the moment. If he had known it, he would have known it!

He won't let the instructor drink this bowl of water with him.

The western food is usually served by appetizers, soup, staple food, Sara and fruit.

Don't you eat it all up, and you haven't eaten it yet?

You can't eat any more.

Don't talk big when eating.
