Basic decency is free; no extra training is necessary, and it requires very little of your effort. So here’s a list of dining regulations to follow; please keep in mind that you must follow these rules in order to look good in front of everyone you dine with.
Here are 8 etiquette rules that everyone should be aware of in restaurants.
1. Etiquette for using Utensils
Employ the “outside-in” principle to determine which knife, fork, or spoon to utilize at the supper meal in most cases. Start at the exterior of the kitchenware and earn your way in with every successive course.
2. Getting rid of the stuff you don’t want in your mouth.
Food is taken out of the mouth in the same method as it was put in. A spoon is used to put food into the mouth and to take food out of the mouth. When eating with hands, the pit or bone is cleaned using the fingers.
3. Drinking with a full mouth is not a good idea
Prior to taking a drink, make sure your mouth is clean of food and blot your lips with a tissue to avoid putting foodstuff on the edge of the container.
4. Silently eat
It’s deemed disrespectful to scrape a plate or chew aggressively. Smacking and sucking food is a huge no-no and a sign of poor table etiquettes.
5. When you need to cough or sneeze
If you must sneeze or cough at the table, hide your nose or mouth with a handkerchief and continue as softly as feasible. Don’t blow your nose with a napkin unless it’s a crisis. Rather than using the table cloth, use a handkerchief.
