How polite is it to eat in a foreign western restaurant? Please thank you.

Western food etiquette Eating western food means eating emotional appeal to a great extent: marble fireplace, glittering crystal lamp, silver candlestick, colorful wine and people's elegant and charming manners, which is a touching oil painting in itself. In order to master your manners more skillfully when you taste western food for the first time, it is worthwhile to spend some time familiarizing yourself with these dining etiquette. When sitting, keep your body straight, don't put your elbows on the table, don't tilt your feet, and keep a certain distance from the table to facilitate the use of tableware. Don't fiddle with the tableware on the dining table. Fold the napkin in half and gently put it on your knee. * When eating with a knife and fork, take the knife and fork from the outside to the inside, with a fork in your left hand and a knife in your right hand; When you cut something, you hold the fork in your left hand and the food in your right hand, and then cut it into small pieces with a knife, and then send it to your mouth with a fork. When using a knife, the blade should not be outward. When eating, put down the knife and fork in a figure of eight and put them on the edge of the plate respectively. The blade is pointed at yourself, indicating that you will continue to eat. After eating each dish, put the knife and fork together on the plate. If you are talking, you can hold the knife and fork. When you don't use a knife, you can also hold a fork in your right hand, but if you need to make gestures, you should put down your knife and fork, never wave it in the air with your hands, never wipe your mouth with a napkin in one hand, and never hold a glass with a fork in the other. Remember, never put one end of the knife and fork on the plate and the other end on the table. * Don't eat too much food at a time. Don't talk while chewing, and don't take the initiative to talk to people. After the meal was seated, the host greeted him and began to eat. Don't overeat when eating. Finish the food on the plate. If it is not enough, you can take it again. If the waiter divides the dishes, if necessary, the waiter will take them when delivering them. If I can't eat or don't like the food, don't refuse it when the waiter serves it or the host takes it. Put a small amount on the plate and say, "Thank you, that's enough." Don't look embarrassed about those bad dishes. Eat gracefully. Shut up and chew, don't drink soup, and don't make any noise when eating. If the soup and vegetables are too hot, wait until they are cold. Don't blow them with your mouth. Don't spit out the fishbones and bones in your mouth directly. Cover your mouth with a napkin and take it out by hand (chopsticks can be used to eat Chinese food), or spit it gently with a fork and put it on the plate. Leftovers and used tableware toothpicks should be put on the plate, not on the table. Don't talk with food in your mouth. When picking your teeth, cover your mouth with your hand or napkin and speak. No matter the host, guest or guest, you should talk to the people at the same table, especially the neighbors. Don't talk to only a few acquaintances or only two people. If you don't know your neighbor, you can introduce yourself first. Toast As the guest of honor, you should know the toasting habits of the other party, that is, why and when to toast, so as to make necessary preparations. When clinking glasses, the host and guest touch first, and many people can raise their glasses at the same time, not necessarily clinking glasses. Be careful not to cross glasses when toasting. When the host and guest make speeches and toasts, they should stop eating and talking, pay attention to listening, and don't take this opportunity to smoke. Stand still while playing the national anthem. After the host and guests talk and clink glasses with the distinguished guests, they usually go to other tables to propose a toast. In this case, they should stand up and raise their glasses. When clinking glasses, greet each other visually. It is friendly and lively to toast each other at the banquet, but remember to drink too much. Drinking too much is easy to get rude, even rude, so I must control it within one-third of my alcohol consumption. Take off your coat. You can't unbutton your clothes in public, no matter how hot it is. At an informal small dinner party, if the host invites the guest to take off his coat, the male guest can take off his coat and put it on the back of the chair. Have tea (or coffee). If you want to add milk and sugar, you can add it to the cup yourself. After stirring with a small teaspoon, the teaspoon is still put back in the saucer. Usually, milk and sugar are put in different containers. When drinking, hold the cup handle in your right hand and the saucer in your left hand. When eating pears and apples, don't bite them whole. First cut into four or six petals with a fruit knife, then peel and core with a knife, and then eat with your hands. When peeling, the knife edge goes inward and cuts inward from the outside. Peel the banana first and cut it into small pieces with a knife. Oranges are cut into pieces with a knife, and oranges, lychees and longan can be peeled and eaten. The rest, such as watermelon and pineapple, are generally peeled and cut into pieces, and can be cut into small pieces with a fork when eating. When chicken, lobster and fruit are served at the banquet, sometimes a small water bowl (copper basin, porcelain bowl or crystal glass jar) is given, and rose petals or lemon slices float on the water surface to wash hands (someone once mistakenly thought it was a drink and made a joke). When washing, wet your fingers with your hands in turn, rinse them gently, and then dry them with napkins or small towels. Some people who have souvenirs will give each participant a small souvenir or a flower. At the end of the banquet, the host asked the guests to bring it over. In this case, you can say a word or two of praise to this small gift, but you don't have to express your gratitude seriously. Sometimes, foreign tourists often take away banquet menus as souvenirs, and sometimes ask guests to sign the menus as souvenirs. Don't take away all kinds of entertainment items, including candy, fruit, cigarettes, etc. Unless the owner specially indicates it as a souvenir. Sometimes, after attending a private banquet, a memo or business card is often sent to express gratitude. Pick up food at a buffet dinner or cocktail party. When the waiter serves, don't point the gun at me, and then take it in front of me. When people around you don't get the first copy, don't rush to get the second copy. Don't stand around the food table, just stand back and let someone else take it. The use of tableware Chinese tableware is mainly bowls and chopsticks, while western food is knives, forks and plates. Foreigners are usually invited to eat Chinese food, which is mostly eaten in the west. Chopsticks and knives and forks are set. The use of a knife and fork is to hold a knife in your right hand and a fork in your left hand, cut the food into small pieces and then send it to your mouth with a fork. Europeans don't change hands when using, that is, they hold the fork in their left hand from cutting to feeding. After cutting, the Americans put down the knife and took the fork in their right hand to the food entrance. Take it from outside to inside in the order of knife and fork when eating. After eating each dish, put the knife and fork together on the plate to show that you have finished eating. If you haven't finished eating, put it in a figure of eight or a cross, and the knife edge should be inward. When eating chicken and lobster, the host indicated that you can tear it with your hands, otherwise you can cut the meat with a knife and fork and cut it into small pieces to eat. When cutting meat with bones or hard shells, the fork must firmly hold the meat, and the knife should be cut close to the fork edge to avoid slipping. When cutting vegetables, be careful not to hit the plate too hard and make a noise. Foods that are not easy to fork, or foods that are not easy to fork, can be gently pushed onto the fork with a knife. Eat without a spoon except for soup. Soup is served in a deep plate or a small bowl. When drinking, scoop it up from the inside out with a spoon and put it in your mouth. When you finish eating, you can lift the plate out slightly. Eat fishy food, such as fish, shrimp, game, etc. Add lemon. You can squeeze out the juice by hand and drop it on the food to remove the fishy smell. In case of an accident, if something unusual happens due to carelessness during the banquet, such as the knife and fork hitting the plate too hard, making a noise, or the tableware falling to the ground, or the drink spilling, etc. You should be calm and don't worry. When the tableware makes a noise, you can gently say "sorry" to your neighbor (or your host). If it is dropped, the waiter can send a set of tableware. If the drink spills on the neighbor, apologize and help dry it; If the other person is a woman, just hand me a clean napkin or handkerchief and dry it yourself.
