The Best Way to go to eating tables
Want to feel confident eating at any table? Here's your easy guide to looking like a pro!
- Start with the basics:
- Sit up straight
- Put your napkin on your lap
- Wait for everyone to be served before eating
- Use utensils from the outside in - this means start with the outermost fork or spoon and work your way inward with each course.
- Take small bites and chew with your mouth closed. Nobody wants to see your food!
- Don't reach across the table - ask someone to pass items to you instead.
- Keep your phone away and focus on conversation.
Pro Tips:
- Watch what others are doing if you're unsure
- When in doubt, copy the host
- Say 'please' and 'thank you' often
