Looking for an introduction to the main meals in Western countries, preferably in English.

Western-style food etiquette

Western-style food refers to the food or dinner cooked according to the customs of western countries. Western-style food is originated in Europe and the European cooking methods were conveyed2 by an Italian—Martin Polo to China. Later, after the Opium3 War, it was transferred from “residential4 dish” to “western restaurant” and then “western-style food restaurant” run by Chinese people. It was only served for some officials and business men.

In recent years, the number of foreign guests has increased rapidly. More and more hotels have western-style food services. At the same time, more and more Chinese people have accustomed5 to the hobby of eating western-style food.

When eating western-style food, you can talk with others freely and lightly. But, when you talk with others, don't chew the food in your mouth. Generally speaking , clean your lips with napkins6 before talking or drinking.

When eating western-style food, you can not hold the plate when eating; can not stab7 the food while eating the large piece of food. You should cut the food into small pieces and then put them into your mouth.

When eating western-style food, the way of eating is similar to the way of eating Cantonese food8. That is—drink soup first and then eat the dishes. When drinking the soup, and hold the spoon with right hand, the spoon should fa

ce the outer side to ladle out9 the soup, and then put it into the mouth. Don't make any sound while drinking the soup.

When eating western-style food, the bones and thorns should not be put into the mouth when you meet the dishes which have them. The food which already eaten into the mouth can not be spit out. So you should know the food you eat when eating western-style food. For the food which you are not so sure or the food which you don't like, then you'd better not put them into your mouth.

When eating western-style food, if you leave the table without finishing the dinner, you should put the knife and fork crossed beside the plate, let the edge of the knife faces inside. If you have finished your meal, you should put the knife and fork side by side to show that the plate can be removed.

Western food generally refers to dishes prepared according to the eating habits of Western countries. Western food originated in Europe. It was the Italian Martin Polo who first introduced certain European cooking methods to China. After the Opium War, the "home-cooked dishes" of foreigners evolved into "Western restaurants" and then "Fancai restaurants" run by the Chinese, which were only enjoyed by bureaucrats and businessmen.

In recent years, the number of foreign tourists has continued to increase. Many hotels offer Western food services. At the same time, more and more Chinese people also have a hobby of eating Western food.

When eating Western food, you can talk easily and freely with other people at the table. But don't chew food in your mouth when talking. Usually, you should wipe your mouth with a napkin before talking or drinking.

When eating Western food, you should not eat with a plate; when eating large pieces of food, you should not pierce it with a knife. Instead, cut the food into small pieces and put it in your mouth.

When eating Western food, the way of eating is somewhat similar to Chinese Cantonese food. Drink the soup first and then eat the vegetables. When drinking soup, hold the spoon in your right hand, scoop it out with the mouth of the spoon facing outward, scoop it up and then put it into your mouth. You can't make any noise when drinking the soup.
