Next Step Up
Learning Do’s and Don’ts
Fork or Fingers?
Use a fork, unless it is “finger food”
Polite eating
Chew food with your mouth closed
Only put as much food in your mouth as will fit comfortably
Table Talk
Don’t make any rudes comments about the food being served. You might hurt someone’s feelings
Gratitude
Always say thank you when someone serves you something
Basic Tips
Share food at the table by passing from the left to the right
Allow the person next to you to help themselves before you take some food
No Hurry!
Always wait until everyone at the table is seated and served before you start eating your food
Eat slowly and savor the food—wait 5 seconds between bites
Breaking Bread
When eating bread or a roll, break off a small piece, butter it and eat that. Don’t butter a whole piece and shove it in your mouth
Boarding House Reach
Don’t reach over someone to grab something—ask them to pass it to you
Uh oh!
IF you have something in your teeth, don’t pick it out at the table—excuse yourself and go to the rest room to do that
The Formal Table
Setting the Table
Using your napkin
Pick up your napkin when everyone is seated at the table and ready to begin
Keep your napkin on your lap and use it to dab at your mouth
Don’t wipe your face or blow your nose with your napkin—that’s gross!
Leaving the table
It is best to remain at the table until everyone is finished—unless you excuse yourself
If you need to leave the table momentarily, your silverware should stay on the plate
There are specific silverware signals
Silverware signals
Gratitude
Always thank whoever made the food for you and offer to clean up—be helpful!
Never do this…
