<\/a><\/p>\nSoups
\nBroth and soups are generally served in a cup with either one or two handles, or in a soup plate. Broth in a cup is fine to be taken with a desert spoon in a right hand; a table spoon, however, is used to take soup. Cups and plates for broth are served on a tray, and, once eating is done, a spoon is placed on a tray to point out to a fact. It is normal to leave a spoon in a soup plate if it is served in such a manner, as well as when additional portion of soup is poured into a plate.
\nIn a scenario when preliminary sliced soup meat is served on a plate, one should first put it on its own plate, then slice into smaller pieces and, finally, have soup on top of it.
\nSoup is generally eaten in small portions by means of a table spoon \u2013 you should keep a plate angled away from you and a spoon moving in a diagonal direction from right to the left. It is also important to lift a spoon up to the level of your mouth, not vice versa.
\nAlso, it is a norm not to fully finish your soup course at the ceremonial reception and public tables \u2013 it is fine, however, to have it all in case the environment is less official!<\/p>\n
Meat course Spaghetti Seafood In consultation, let\u2019s sum up a number of very important rules of your potential behaviour at the table:<\/a><\/p>\n
\nMeat courses can be normally divided into 2 groups: courses with chopped meat (cutlers, zrazy, etc.) and courses with lump meat (roast meat, etc.). Etiquette rules imply that courses with chopped meat are treated with a folk in the left hand. One should also keep in mind that a knife and a folk should always be there in your hands along the whole meat course, as you slice it bit by bit.
\nChicken and poultry dishes
\nMany of us believe that chicken and poultry dishes should be treated with hands \u2013 unfortunately it is a common misconception. Etiquette rules suggest that in such cases a folk and a knife should be used, in minor situation is it also normal to help yourself with finger-tips.
\nNow let\u2019s get back to a slop-basin, which usually contains water with a slice of lemon and is served on the table. It is fine to place tableware aside and take a chicken stick with your fingertips \u2013 once you are done with it, put your fingertips into the basin.
\nMany restaurants replace slop-basins with wet tower wipes. Also, sometimes chicken sticks are served with small valves on it (\u201cpapillotes\u201d) which allows to keep hands and fingers clear. <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nItalians eats spaghetti only with folks. Foreigners, however, might prefer a spoon in the left hand on top of a folk in the right one. In terms of the process itself, usually you get around five to six \u201cspaghettis\u201d rolled around your folk while being helped with a spoon in the other hand.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nFish which is served entirely is justifiably considered as one of the most challenging dishes to eat \u2013 in these cases small folks and knives are usually used. At the same time, stewed, boiled and fried fished are eaten using special tableware. Knifes are generally used to separate fillet from the fish body. It is also normal to treat fish with two table folks. Small fish bones are separated using a folk, which are then aggregated at the edge of a plate.
\nPrawns, served in broth, are generally eaten entirely, in case they are somewhat small. Larger prawns are sliced with a folk, while your left hand holds a plate and helps to control the process. As you have probably noticed, knives are not used in these processes.
\nIn case prawns are cooked in the Asian manner, they are then handled by grabbing its tail edges with either chopsticks or hands \u2013 once sauced and bitten off, tail edges should be taken away. Also, as you might have guessed already, one would also need a small basin on the table with hot water in it to wash fingers.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
