You should actually put your napkin in your lap right when you sit down
This one is false. You should wait until either 1 your host or hostess says you may begin, or 2 until everyone at your table has been served. Another situation in which you might begin early is if you have someone waiting for their food and the person without food indicates it’s okay for everyone else to start.
Yes, you always pass both of them together. Also, keep in mind it is rude to put salt or pepper on your food before
Put the butter on your plate, break the roll in half, and then break off 1 or 2 bites and butter that portion. Don’t bite into an entire roll, don’t butter an entire roll
Don’t announce to everyone you don’t like what you’re eating. Don’t make a big deal. Be as polite as possible.
To taste another’s food, use your clean fork, hand it to the person giving you a taste, they put the food on your fork and hand it back to you
This can be tactfully done. Rather than saying something like, $10 and under tonight, say something in your price range like, “Oh, the lasagna sounds good tonight.” However, be prepared. If you have taken someone to a restaurant, be aware of the prices, and be prepared to pay for the most expensive thing on the menu.
Once you’ve used your utensils, they shouldn’t be put back on the table. You can put them on your plate as you eat. Put your knife along the top, or rest your fork on the plate.
Be interested! Ask questions!
Try and make your questions open-ended. Closed-ended questions are yes-no questions, and you might not get much response back or really develop too great of a conversation, especially if you meet someone who is really great with one word responses. Be sure to ask them follow up questions. For example, what book can you read over and over again, and why?
Where do you put your fork and your knife when you are finished eating?
When finished eating, you put your napkin on the table, not your plate.
No, you should always be polite. Don’t worry about what other people are doing wrong, just be sure to have good manners yourself.
When finished eating, you put your napkin on the table, not your plate.
