How to choose western tableware?

Different from Chinese food, the tableware and menu of western food are inseparable, that is to say, what kind of dishes you prepare must be equipped with corresponding tableware. I don't have time to elaborate because I am typing on my mobile phone. To put it simply: If it is a family dinner, it is generally planned that each guest should have at least five kinds of tableware: spoon, salad knife and salad fork, common main kitchen knife and main course fork, steak knife and steak fork, dessert knife and dessert fork. If you often cook fish, you can match a fish knife and harpoon. Then, according to your menu choice, put the corresponding tableware (plate). Each guest should prepare at least: a large decorative plate, a soup plate, a salad plate and a main course plate (according to how many dishes you usually cook at a time, plus the corresponding plates).
