Whether you are eating in the American or Continental style, with two courses, four courses or seven, here is a summary of dining dos and dont's to help you finesse meal.
THE DOs
Do try a little of everything served to you unless you know you are alergic to it.
Do avoid talking with your mouth full. Take small bites and you will find it is easier to answer questions and join in table talk.
Do wait until you have swallowed the food in your mouth before you take a sip of your beverage.
Do take a quick sip of water if a bite of food is too hot.
Do carry food to your mouth with an inward, not an outward, curve of the fork or spoon.
Do look into, not over, your cup or glass when drinking.
Do remember your posture at the table. Sit up straight and keep your arms (including elbows) off the table.
Do take medicine discreetly, preferably away from the table. If you must take the medication at the table, do not mention it to anyone.
Do remove alien objects from your mouth with your fingers and place them at the edge of your plate.
I think it is enough for today. Tomorrow I will continue with "DON'Ts"
Enjoy
