dining etiquette

Food is the most important thing for people. First, let's see how to eat. Eating around the table is the best and most cruel place to test everyone's manners. Guests eat, chat, listen to other people's opinions, pay attention to other people's manners ... and so on, which can often last for more than two hours. Generally speaking, who should sit in that position should wait for the hostess's invitation before taking a seat. Usually the man sits between two women, because the hostess has to arrange the seats according to the coordination of the sexes. Moreover, the man has a sacred obligation to take care of the ladies next to him and talk to them.

The napkin on the plate should be folded in half on your knees, not around your neck like a baby. Put your hands on the table, on both sides of the plate, and don't support them with your elbows! There are knives and spoons on the right side of the plate and forks on the left. There are often three cups in front of the plate, the big one is for drinking water, the small one is for white wine, and the middle one is for drinking red wine. Bread is usually put in bamboo baskets or proper containers, and it is generally best not to "steal" a piece before the first dish is served. Don't drink before you start eating, usually wait until the hostess invites you to start eating.

Guests usually take a proper amount from their own dishes and give it to their neighbors. The man is responsible for adding vegetables and pouring wine for the lady next to him. If you think you've had enough wine, don't try to be brave. Let the glass be full, and others won't pour you any more wine. Remember to wipe your lips before drinking and keep the whole rice cup transparent and clean. When you need to wipe your mouth with a napkin, you'd better hold the napkin with both hands.

There are many dining etiquette, generally pay attention to what is "inappropriate" or "taboo", such as:

1, don't talk with your mouth full.

Keep your mouth shut when eating, and don't make annoying noises.

Don't blow the soup with your mouth when it is very hot (let it cool)

4. If there is fishbone in your mouth, don't pull it out with your fingers. You should gently put it on the fork from the corner of your mouth and then put it on the edge of your plate.

Generally speaking, it is impolite to dip slices of bread in the sauce on the plate. -Don't eat cheese or jam for breakfast. Piece by piece.

6. Don't cut the bread with your own knife. The bread should be torn into small pieces to eat. Don't bite like a big steamed bun.

7. After eating, put the knife and fork on your plate, with the fork tips facing down, and don't cross.

8. It's unsightly to use toothpicks on the dining table. You must remember this taboo.

9. Guests can't leave their seats until the hostess signals. Napkins don't need to be folded. Stand up and put it next to your plate.
