Western Etiquette Knowledge

Western-style tableware can be roughly divided into three parts: knife, fork and spoon.

For example, big knife for food knife, small knife for butter knife, knife edge has sawtooth to cut beef cattle lamb chops for meat knife; big fork for food fork, small fork for fruit fork; round key spoon head contour is spoon, oval can be dessert spoon, and then small for coffee, teaspoon and so on.

If you want to leave, you should put the knife and fork in a "eight" word, and put the blade inside, on the plate.

Whole

In the process, please use the clean dishes as far as possible to get the food from buffet, and use the public tableware designated for each food to feed.

Once

Not too much.

When you meet a delicious food that you have never tasted, you can take a small portion of the trial food first. If you like, you can take more than a few times. It is no harm, for example, there is a small amount of food in the tray that can be eaten with a small piece of bread.

If in

If the wine is in the middle, you should first let the service staff pour into the cup and try drinking first. After taste, there is no problem and then pour them to other friends.

When touching a cup with a friend, the cup leans slightly to the left. When drinking, grasp the cup column instead of the cup, so that the temperature of the hand will not affect the taste of the wine. Shake the cup gently before the taste, let the wine smell and breathe deeply through the nose.
