What's the difference between table manners in the United States and China?

I want to introduce American table manners to you, hoping it will help you.

1. The guests have to wait until all the guests have served, and the hostess signals them to start eating. Guests are not allowed to eat any food until the hostess picks up her spoon or fork. This is an American habit, which is different from some European countries.

It is impolite to keep silent all the time while eating. You should talk to people around you, but don't talk while chewing food. Even if someone talks to you, you should swallow the food in your mouth before you answer; You can talk without putting down your knife and fork, but don't hold it in the air. Don't point at others.

3. In case of sneezing or coughing while eating, be sure to cover your nose and mouth with a napkin and turn around so as not to affect others;

5, study and live in the United States and have dinner with others. If you are willing to be the host, you should tell others in advance, because westerners are used to AA system, so don't rush to pay the bill, otherwise it will make people laugh. In addition, westerners don't have China's gratitude mentality of "one liter for one barrel". If you invite a foreigner to dinner, don't expect him to invite you back.

6. Before eating, if you stop using the knife and hairpin, you should put the knife edge inward and the back of the hairpin upward to show that you still need to use it, otherwise others or waiters will mistakenly think that you have finished eating and take away your tableware.

7. When you leave after studying and living in the United States, you should put your seat back in its original position.

These are some table manners in America. After all, I studied abroad, and what I did was not only for myself, but also for a China person.
