How to use the four-piece set of hotel tableware?

Taking western food as an example, the usage of four-piece tableware is as follows:

1, the main knife: you can use the main knife to eat meat, such as steak. If you eat a whole roast pigeon, you can use it.

2, the main fork: the main fork is generally used to eat barbecue food, the most used fork is also the main fork, mainly used with the main knife.

3, the main spoon: spoon is the most exquisite tableware in western food, mainly used for soup, but also one of the essential tableware.

4. Dessert spoon: Generally, small desserts are considered to be troublesome and inconvenient to cut with a knife, so desserts are cakes that can be easily eaten with a spoon and are not fragile.

"Left fork and right knife" is the way to hold a knife and fork in western food. In western food, knives are used to cut vegetables and forks are used to fork vegetables. When cutting food, hold a fork in your left hand and a knife in your right hand. Hold the food with a fork to prevent it from moving, and then cut the food with a knife. When using a knife and fork, the knife and fork should be placed between the thumb and middle finger, and the index finger can be forced, which is convenient and labor-saving.

Western etiquette:

Western food etiquette is very particular, but as long as you know the correct placement of knives and forks, it is enough for you to show basic literacy.

Tableware should be placed on both sides before meals. Knife and fork should be put on the plate after dinner. Spoons after soup or dessert should be placed on plates or bowls. These forks and forks shouldn't be on the tablecloth.

Put the knife tip inward at 4 o'clock, the fork inward at 8 o'clock, and put the knife and fork on the plate in a figure of eight. This arrangement means that you haven't finished your meal yet, just stop for a while and signal the waiter not to take the plate away.

The fork tip of the knife tip is balanced inward at 4 o'clock, so that the waiter will understand and can take the plate away.
