Should serving chopsticks be placed on the left or right?

It doesn’t matter whether the serving chopsticks are placed on the left or the right, it just needs to be convenient.

Male chopsticks are chopsticks specially used for picking up vegetables. In order to facilitate picking up vegetables, sometimes each person is provided with a pair. Many people mistakenly believe that using serving chopsticks prevents others from infecting themselves with diseases. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The biggest role of using serving chopsticks is to prevent possible diseases from being transmitted from yourself.

For example, in a family of three, if someone has Helicobacter pylori, then not everyone must use it to cut off the infection, but as long as the patient uses it, the infection can be cut off. Therefore, using serving chopsticks is not a sign of preventing others, but a sign of protecting others.

The relevant person in charge of the Food Hygiene Monitoring Section of the Guangzhou Center for Disease Control stated that the competent departments in Guangzhou have strict requirements on the catering department. The health requirements of the Ministry of Health have formulated work guidelines, and it is specifically proposed that the catering service industry should actively promote the meal-sharing system. However, in the absence of rigid regulations, it is still difficult to implement and supervise the meal-sharing system.

Dai Yu, vice president of the China Hotel Association and deputy general manager of China Hotel in Guangzhou, pointed out that although the concept of meal sharing was introduced 20 years ago, it will take time for it to be widely implemented. On the one hand, restaurants should take the initiative to establish the awareness of meal sharing and equip guests with serving spoons and chopsticks. On the other hand, guests should also supervise the meal sharing system in the catering industry and actively request to share meals.

It is understood that there are three main forms of meal sharing: chefs share meals, waiters share meals, and diners share meals by themselves. People in the catering industry believe that among these three forms of meal sharing, chefs' meal sharing and waiter's meal sharing are easier to promote in large restaurants with financial strength. However, for the majority of small and medium-sized restaurants, these two methods will increase the cost of tableware, personnel, etc., and promotion There is some difficulty in getting up.
