The Most Basic Meal Etiquette For Important Banquets

When eating, keep in mind that the three principles of "neat, clean and quiet" can be unfavourable. The following is a common mistake made by ordinary people. If you behave gracefully in these tiny places, how can people not add to you secretly?

　　 The first move: keep your mood before the appointment.

If you agree to the invitation, you must notify the other party if you are late or cancel the appointment. It's acceptable to go to a meeting later, but if it's over fifteen minutes, it will give the opposite party no attention to the bad impression of dating.

Try not to bring too many belongings with you when you go to the appointments. First appointment after shopping is obviously not an appropriate arrangement.

After entering a restaurant, a man usually lets a woman go first. Then he can confidently follow the waiter to the reserved seat, and do not insist on being the "woman behind him".

When you arrive at your seat, you don't need to chair the chair for the first time. Because the other person may be ready to pull the chair for you, give him a chance to show his gentlemanly manner.

When sitting on a chair, you should sit up straight, do not lean close to the back of your chair, look at the front with your eyes, and don't just hang your head to avoid the other's line of sight. Wrist (not elbow) can be placed naturally on the edge of the table. The distance between the chair and the table should not be too far away, otherwise eating will increase the chance of body movement.

After you pick up the napkin, you can put it on your lap. If napkins are large, they can be folded into rectangles or triangles. Smaller ones can put napkins directly on the thighs to prevent contamination of the clothes with juice.

　　 Second strokes: May I take your order? With thousands of intentions

You should choose the food that you want to eat. If you don't have a clue about the dishes, you can ask the waiter to recommend the dishes for the restaurant, but give a clear indication that if you want to eat seafood or eat red meat, remember that everything is uncertain. Only people who say "yes, but" will only add trouble to the guests on the same table.

Usually the waiter will stand next to the host family (in this case, the man) and write down the dishes you ordered. If you want to express your respect for each other, you can tell the man what you want to order, and then he leaves the waiter. This emphasizes the role of his master and suggests that you trust him.

When you wait for your meal, you usually have appetizers and bread. You may as well talk about it and enjoy it. Bread can be taken by hand and placed on the left-hand side of the dish. If butter is common, you can cut a knife and take a small piece on your own dish. When you eat, first tear the bread into a palatable size and then butter it up. After eating a small bite and tearing the weight of the next mouth, it is the right way to eat.

　　 The third move: Have meals Time details

There are many details to be taken for meals, but most of them are daily rituals. As long as they remain calm, do not act big, do not make noise or prevent others from eating, they are qualified. Some of the common mistakes are listed below.

Light the lips with a napkin before eating, and can reduce the traces of lipstick left on the cup. When drinking water and wine, try to fix a place to drink, so as not to print lip print on the whole cup.

The most basic principle of using utensils is from outside to inside, and after serving a dish, the waiter will accept the tableware, and fill another set of knives and forks according to needs (such as desserts).

When eating meat (such as Niu Ba), you should start cutting in a corner, eat one piece and cut another piece. When you meet something you don't eat or garnish, simply move it to the side of the dish.

If you have something to vomit in your mouth, you should pass it to your mouth, or take it out with your fingers and move it to the edge of the dish. The whole process should try not to draw attention to others, and then eat naturally.

In the case of bean or rice, the left-handed fork can be placed on a flat dish and pointed upward, and then the bean or rice can be lightly transferred to the fork with a knife.

　　 Fourth strokes: after dinner, gently Dressing

If you need makeup, you can choose between a dish and another dish, and whisper to the other person. Hair removal, clothing or lip gloss can only be done in the bathroom.

When you leave, you can put your napkin on the chair or table, and also clean the side. Here, the dinner test has come to an end. Looking back at these two or three small meals time, you can understand that as long as you keep your mood relaxed, your conversation and manner are natural, even if it is a banquet at the first grade, you can handle it calmly.
