In general there are basic rules about the manner of eating. How do you eat and behave at the dinner table is still important to note, according to Nicholas Clayton of The Guild of Professional Butlers Home. Considering we are also often attend the banquet in a job or business affairs, or at least dine at fine dining restaurants, there's nothing wrong we remember politeness at the dinner table:

1. On a plate of steaming rice, oxtail soup or stew in the bowl seemed to slice your tongue? Let food cool by itself. Do not blow the remaining rice on a plate to cool. For soup, may be blown for a while after disendok and brought closer to the mouth.

2. Do not regurgitate the food (either because it did not feel good, or there is a thorn fish in it) to a table napkin. Take the food with a spoon or fork, then set aside on the edge of your plate.

3. Do not talk when your mouth is full of food. Besides food can jump out, what you say even less clearly audible.

4. We enjoyed the steak, knife and fork is not held in a way like holding a spoon and fork. Hold the knife and fork with the index finger on top (see picture). In this way, the pressure of a knife and fork into the meat more powerful. Also, do not be pointing the other person when the hand was still holding the knife.

5. Napkins are provided to prevent food stains your clothes are falling. Therefore, place it on your lap. Napkins can also be used to clean the affected corner of his mouth crumbs. However, do not use to wipe your teeth or lipstick.

6. To cut bread (who became a friend to eat the soup), do not use a knife. Use your fingers. Cut the appropriate size to be eaten. If you want to give him butter, dabs of butter on the pieces that will disuapkan into his mouth. For sandwiches or toast, you can cut it with a knife.

7. Do not add complementary seasonings such as salt, chili sauce, or ketchup, if you have not tasted the food. Especially if you are being entertained at the home of a friend. The host may feel offended because the food is considered less delicious.

8. When you are finished eating, make up a knife and fork, or spoon and fork, in a vertical position, lined up. Perhaps also with crossed spoons and forks in the closed position.

9. Do not put junk food-like bone or shell-crab on the dining table. Ask for an empty plate on the waiter to put the bones or leftover food.
