Modern rules of behavior at the table Bashny.Net

Anyone who thinks that it is not necessary to observe table etiquette is mistaken. Even when eating with family or closest friends, you need to be polite.

It is not about behaving pretentiously and ceremoniously, but at least in a way that does not interfere with anyone and remains pleasant to everyone around. We have collected modern rules of behavior at the table, which are often violated.





How to behave at the table

1. Put the gadget aside.
   Better get the equipment off the table altogether. Putting your phone next to food is a sign of bad taste. In the first place should be real interlocutors, and in the last – virtual. Hanging out on social media during dinner is inappropriate.

2. Don't start eating first.
   If you're in an establishment with a company, wait for the waiter to bring the order to everyone. If she's with a lady, she should start eating first. If you are visiting, wait until the hosts ask for help.

3. First to others, then to myself.
   If you are the closest to a common dish, first offer it to others, and then put it to yourself. And if you sit far from the most delicious, do not reach for it. Ask the one closest to you.

4. Put the used appliances on the plate
   Forks, spoons, knives that have already been used, put only on the plate. Absolutely not on the table. Do not hold them in your hands when you do not eat, so as not to wave them while talking.

5. Don't bite the bread.
   Well, how is it then? Break off the little pieces of bread and put them in your mouth, but do not bite off the big piece.

6. Don't torture the tea bag.
   Take the tea bag out of the cup with a spoon, not with your hands, lightly press it to the edge of the cup to squeeze, and then place it on the left side of the tea saucer. On the left side of the saucer should lie and wrappers from sweets, used sugar sticks and the like.

7. Paint the butter properly
   Put a piece of oil on your plate. And already above it, spread it on bread, so as not to spread crumbs all over the table.

8. Look at the guests when you're choking.
   At the same time meet with guests and a look and a glass. If it's a toast for you, after choking, wait for everyone to drink and then empty your glass.

9. Don't get prettier at the table.
   It is impossible to clean yourself up during meals. There's a bathroom for that. Bring a comb, a toothpick and go ahead. At the table you can only wipe with a napkin.

10. Observe etiquette, but do not force others to observe it.
    If you start pointing everyone in his place and pretending to be the most educated, then you will turn from a secular guru into an outcast. Apply the knowledge of etiquette exclusively to yourself.
