Eating utensil etiquette

Eating utensil etiquette means the way we use spoons, forks, and knives while eating so that we don't create any mess or disturbance for ourselves or others at the table. You have to remember a few things when you sit down to eat.

First, take a seat at the table and wait until everyone else is seated before you start eating. When you see food on the table, you should wait for everyone else to be served before you start eating.

Next, try to hold your utensils correctly. It's like holding a pencil in your hand. The fork goes in your left hand, and the knife is held in your right hand. If you're left-handed, it can be reversed.

When you're eating, try not to make too much noise when you're cutting your food. You should always bring food to your mouth.

When you want to take a break, put your fork and knife together on the plate so that you and other guests know that you're still going to eat more food. Don’t rest the utensils on the table or leave them messy after using them.

Lastly, remember to always say "please" and "thank you" when asking for or receiving any food and utensils. By doing this, you show your respect for others and make everyone happy.

By following these simple rules, you'll be able to avoid any awkward moments at the dinner table and show that you have good manners.
