What are the basic etiquette of western food service?

You should pay attention to table manners when eating western food.

One, serve. The order of serving is generally: bread, cold dishes, soup, main course, dessert, coffee or fruit. Cold dishes are appetizers. Soups include seafood soup and cream soup. The main courses are chicken, fish, beef and pork. Finally, drinks or fruits.

Second, the use of knives and forks. The spoon is placed horizontally in front of the soup plate, and other knives and forks are placed on both sides of each dish. Knives and forks should be used from outside to inside. Eat meat with a knife, hold a fork in your left hand, hold the dish, and then use your right hand to cut with the tip of a knife. The bones of the meat are placed in the right corner of the plate.

Third, eat with your hands. Eat buttered bread, potato chips, fried meat slices, asparagus, etc.

Fourth, napkins. Don't open it until the hostess opens it. Better put it in your leg. Just to wipe your mouth. The napkin for dinner is bigger than the napkin for breakfast. Put the rice on the table on the left.
