How to place tableware for Western food?

After the meal, you can put the bottom of the fork upward, the blade side of the knife inward and close to the fork, and place it parallel to the dinner plate. Try to put the handle into the dinner plate. This will prevent it from falling due to contact and will make it easier for the waiter to clean it up.

When attending a wedding banquet, no matter how the tableware is placed in the "dining" position, all dishes will be put away as soon as the main guests finish eating. Therefore, during banquets, remember to focus on the main guests.

In a banquet, a pair of knives and forks are used for each dish. The knives and forks placed in front of you are taken from the outside inward. The knives and forks are gone, and the serving of food is over. Place the knife and fork with the handles facing you side by side on the plate, which means that the dish has been used, and the waiter will remove the plate.

Extended information

In general Western restaurants and cafeterias, there are usually no more than three sets of knives and forks placed on the table. Western restaurants will equip you with three pairs of knives and forks. The knives and forks have different specifications, and their sizes are also different according to different uses. When eating meat, use a large knife regardless of whether you want to cut it with a knife. When eating salads, sweets or some appetizers, you generally use a smaller fork and spoon. When drinking soup, use a larger spoon. The knife on the left is a butter knife, which is specially used for spreading bread. Never use it with other tools. Come and cut the meat. ?

But in professional high-end western restaurants or steakhouses, for a set meal of more than three courses, it is necessary to place new knives and forks after the dishes are served. Due to the special emphasis, the knives and forks used for cutting steaks in the steakhouse are all specially designed to pursue the smooth and refreshing feeling of cutting the steaks in one go and then completely separating them.
