introduction
WELCOME TO TABLE MANNERS
Manners are important in society. They help us to be civil to one another. Because a person who minds their manners knows how to act in every circumstance he tends to feel comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings. Nowhere are manners more important that at the table. Table manners prevent diners from being sloppy, offensive and boorish. They help to communicate respect to hosts and guests alike. Table manners are not hard and fast rules, rather they are helpful guidelines in our social relationships.

BASIC TABLE MANNERS
Good basic table manners are important because they ensure that both guests and hosts are comfortable at the table. Table manners are mostly common sense. Following these will carry you through most common situations from Formal 1. Sit up a night of poker to slouch or lean Dinners tostraight. Try not with the guys. back in your chair (even if you are playing cards and don't want you opponents to see your hand). 2. Don't speak with your mouth full of food. Sure, you've heard your mother say it a hundred times, but no one likes to see a ball of masticated meat in your mouth. If you feel you must speak immediately, if you have only a relatively small 8/15/12
3. Chew quietly, and try not to slurp. This is a corollary of rule number 2. Making noises is not only unappetizing, and distracting, but it can also interrupt the flow of conversation. 4. Keep bites small. In order to facilitate the above rules it is smart to keep bite sizes to a moderate forkful. Cut meat and salad so that it doesn't hang from your mouth after you shovel it in. Don't cut all of your meat at one time, this tends to remind people of feeding small children and the messiness associated with this activity. 5. Eat at a leisurely pace. This rule, besides being good for the digestion, also shows your host that you want to enjoy the food and the company. Eating quickly and running is sign of

6. Don't wave utensils in the air, especially knives or if there is food on them. Besides the danger of knocking over glasses, piercing waiters or launching a pea into the eye of your date, this is a sign of over-excited that may be unappealing to those present. Earnestness is to be commended, but irrational exuberance goes beyond the limits of good table manners. 7. Keep your elbows off the table. You have also heard this one from your mother, ad infinitum, but in close dining situations it is a vital rule. Elbows take up table space and can be a danger in knocking plates or glasses. Elbows on the table give you something to lean on and tend to lull you into slouching. If you must lean on the table a good tactic is to take a 8/15/12 roll or piece of bread into your free hand and
11. Compliment the Cook. Even if the food is perfectly awful say something nice. You don't have to lie, simply find the positive side of the burnt leg of lamb..."Gee, the sauce was sure tasty." It is always pleasant to end a meal on a positive note. 12. Wipe your mouth before drinking. Ever notice that disgusting smudge on the edge of your wine glass? This can be avoided by first wiping your lips with your napkin. (Thanks to Lindy Hill for this contribution.)

How to use napkin Slowly & gracefully unfold your napkin and put it on your lap once you are seated. If you taking a greasy food, use the napkin to wipe your mouth. If you want to leave the table for a short time, put your napkin on the chair. When you are finish, put the napkin on the table. If your napkin or cutlery accidentally dropped, never pick up it by yourself. Ask for a clean one from the waiter.

4th course: dessert-ice cream/puddings/cakes or fruits (whole/cut fruits) The cutlery provided depends on the type of dessert served. Normally fruits are cut into piece of bitesize ready to be eaten. If whole fruit is served, it is acceptable to use your hands to eat the fruit.
5th course: coffee or tea A coffee cup is smaller than a tea cup. Pick your choice when asked by the waiter. Stir your coffee/tea quietly. Never leave 8/15/12 your spoon in the cup after stirring it or
Basics Principles on How to Hold the Cutlery (fork, knife and spoon) Fork is always held in the left hand. When only fork is used, tines of the fork must point to the food in a horizontal manner. Hold end tip with your thumb at the top and middle finger at the bottom, supported by the ring and little fingers. When you use fork alone, tines of fork should face upward.
Knife and spoon is always held with the right hand. End tip of the knife should be inside the palm, thumb at the left side and first finger on the top with the rest of the fingers supporting the bottom of the knife. If you are holding a spoon only, hold it just like holding a fork without a knife.

How to refuse certain drinks or a refill of water? Just cover the mouth of the glass with your hands. Do not overturn the glass. Water will always be filled whenever it decreases or is empty.

How to handle tricky food
Not all types of food can be easily handled by the basic rules, so society has come up with dignified ways. If you don't know the rule for a specific dish, simply try not to splatter, smear, leave food hanging from your mouth or drip sauce on your trousers. In case you know in advance what is on the menu, here are some specific rules: Vegetables: Pull off leaves and dip in sauce until you reach the heart. This should be cut into pieces and dipped with a fork.
8/15/12
Seafood Whole Fish: begin by cutting off the head. Next, slice along the center of the back and lift one side of the fish from the bones. Then remove the spine and other bones and place aside or on another plate. Eat the flesh in small bites to be careful that you don't consume a bone. If you do get a bone in your mouth - do not try to swallow it! Remove it and replace it to the plate.
Oysters and Clams: In shell, hold in one hand and pry open with the other. Reach in and pull out the oyster, then place in mouth. Swallow. Served on the half-shell oysters and clams may be eaten with a seafood fork. 8/15/12
Lobster: When it is served whole, start by twisting off the claws. You will likely be given a nut cracker to get through the tough shell. A fork or a pick may be used to remove the meat from the shell.

The conclusion
Manners are something used every day to make a good impression on others and to feel good about oneself. No matter where you are - at home, work, or with friends - practicing good manners is important. Good manners are more than opening doors and writing thank you notes. While opening doors for others and writing notes is nice, true courtesy goes deeper. Being polite and courteous means considering how others are feeling. If you practice good manners, you are showing those around you that you are considerate of their feelings and respectful. You are also setting 8/15/12
Every culture and individual may have different rules or feelings about what is polite or is not polite. The goal of this course is to review some of the more basic and common rules of polite behavior in our society. These rules may differ from person to person or based on situation, but there is one rule of good manners (and life, in general) that is always easy to follow - do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
