Sell knives and forks and talk about it.

Xiaoqiu went to eat western food for the first time out of curiosity.

It was a leisurely afternoon. Xiaoqiu is walking in the street. Suddenly he was attracted by the "plate" on the billboard in front of him and walked into the western restaurant out of curiosity.

Generally speaking, there are two conventional ways to use knives and forks for reference: English and American.

The use of English knives and forks requires that you always hold the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand when cutting and eating. It is generally believed that this is a more elegant way to eat.

The American practice is to cut all the food in the plate with the right knife and the left fork, then put the right knife in front of the plate obliquely, change the left fork into the right one, and then indulge. The advantage of this method is said to be more convenient.

No matter what kind, when eating with a knife and fork, be careful not to make any noise when cutting food. Remember to sink your elbows and never open your bow left or right. On the one hand, doing that is harmful to people, on the other hand, it is not good to "sell". Perhaps, it is possible to "escape" from the cut food.

The cut food should fit right into the entrance. Never fork up and bite. You should eat with a fork, not a knife. Don't use any more knives and forks that have fallen on the ground. Please ask the waiter to change it. In addition, pay attention to the orientation of the knife and fork. When putting down the knife temporarily, the blade should not be outward. When using a knife and fork with both hands, the fork teeth should face down; When eating with a fork in the right hand, the fork teeth should face up.

When it comes to the direction of knives and forks, I will not only think of using knives and forks, but also hint to the waiter whether the diner has eaten a certain dish well.

If diners are talking with others, they should put down their knives and forks temporarily. The way to do this is to put a knife and fork-the knife is on the right, the fork is on the left, the blade is inward, and the fork tooth is downward, and it is a Chinese character "eight" on the plate. This dish has not been used up. But be careful not to put it in a cross. Westerners think this is an unlucky pattern.

If you finish eating, or don't want to eat any more, you can put the knife edge inward, the fork teeth upward, the right fork of the knife side by side vertically, or put the knife side by side horizontally on the plate. This is tantamount to asking the waiter to take the knife, fork and plate away.

A little trouble, huh? Just practice a few more times.
