Simple Do’s and Don’ts (Table Etiquette)
Eating is something we do more than three times a day. It’s something that we do often but sometimes this causes social embarrassment because we fail to observe the proper dinner table etiquette:
DO’s:
1. Once seated, unfold the napkin and use it for occasionally wiping the lips or fingers. After eating, leave the napkin tidily on the place setting.
2. If the food presented is something you don’t like, it is polite to at least make some attempt to eat a tiny amount of it.
3. It is quite acceptable to leave some food to one side of your plate if you feel as though you have eaten enough. On the other hand, don’t attempt to leave your plate so squeaky clean that it looks as though you haven’t eaten in days!
DON’TS:
1. Do not start eating before the host’s signal.
2. Never talk about gross things over the table like murder, neck acne or cadavers.
3. The number one sin of dinner table etiquette is eating loudly through sounds of: slurping and burping.
