Table Manners

In most situations, following the "outside-in" rule will tell you which knife, fork, or spoon to use at the dinner table. * Use utensils on the outside first and work your way inward with each new course that is served. * If you are not sure which utensil to use, wait to see what is served. * Or, watch others at the table and follow their lead. Continental Style v. American Style (for right-handed dinners) Continental Style 1. Hold your fork in your left hand, tines downward. 2. Hold your knife in your right hand low to the plate, an inch or two above. Extend your index finger along the top of the blade. 3. Use your fork to spear and lift food to your mouth. 4. If your knife is not needed, it remains on the table. Hold your fork in your right hand, tines upward. American Style 1 Hold your fork like a pencil (never used it to stab at food), with the shank extended between your thumb and second and third fingers. Your fourth and fifth fingers rest in your hand. 2 For leverage, the index finger is extended along the back of the fork, as far from the tines as possible. 3 Hold your knife with the handle cupped in the palm of your hand, along with your third, fourth, and fifth fingers. Your second finger is placed on the back of the blade. Your thumb is held against the side of the handle. Two Utensils. Using two utensils as opposed to one is preferred because food is easier to manipulate with two utensils. In formal dining, two utensils are used for the appetizer course, main course, salad course, dessert course, and fruit course. Table Manners During the Meal When to Start Eating At a small table of only two to four people, wait until everyone else has been served before starting to eat. At a formal or business meal, you should either wait until everyone is served to start or begin when the host asks you to. Refusing a Dish If you're allergic to a food or on a restricted diet, explain to your host (not to the table at large) why you have no choice but to decline. Main Course If you order for yourself, you can avoid some of the potential difficulties of a main course by ordering food that is easy to eat and that you’ll know you enjoy.
