我们都记得母亲教给我们的餐桌礼节的基本常识:手肘不要放在餐桌上,不要嘴里含满食物与人讲话。但是你是不是一直想知道使用哪个叉子来吃沙拉,或者在高档饭馆如何招呼侍者呢?接着看本文,学一点餐桌礼节的基本知识,让你的约会对象、女友或妻子的父母、雇主或任何与你一起吃饭的人对你刮目相看。

餐桌用具的摆放

在正式的场合,所有的银餐具、玻璃餐具、杯子、碟子和其它餐具都摆在桌子上,因此经常很难弄明白该用哪个叉子或哪个杯子是你的。一般接受的原则是,银餐具按照客人使用的顺序从外向内摆放。比如,吃沙拉用的刀叉摆放在餐具的最外侧,远离盘子(羹匙是个例外〕。吃甜点的银餐具,如果不是同甜点一齐带出来,要放在你的主菜碟的上方。玻璃餐具、杯子、碟子要放在你的右侧;而餐巾、面包碟和涂黄油用的小刀要放在你的左侧。

译者注:听起来有点让人糊涂,但是如果有摆放餐具的样板就容易理解了,好在是互联网时代,可以参考后面的网站,很生动的实例。http://www.wholesale-table-linens.com/setup-tableware.html

10条餐桌礼仪窍门

既然你已经知道了餐具是如何摆放的,什么时候该用哪个餐具,接下来再给你10个用餐时的窍门:

⒈在和6个或更多的人一齐用餐的时候,等着差不多一半的人拿到食物后再开始吃是有礼貌的行为。人更少的时候应该等到所有的人都得到食物再开始吃,除非食物很容易变凉影响味道,或者餐桌上其它人不停地劝你先吃。

⒉你可以用刀切开沙拉中大块的生菜或其它大块的食物,而且也应该这么做;把一大块生菜往嘴里塞,结果还有一块伸在嘴外面,没有比这更糟糕的了(不难理解,这一点同样适用于鱼肉菜间的主菜)。

⒊往面包上涂黄油的正确方法是撕开一片你能一两口就吃完的面包,抹上黄油,吃了它。如果还要吃,重复这样做。决不要直接咬面包卷,也不要把面包一切两半来涂黄油。

⒋切肉的时候正确的方法是切下一片肉,然后将叉子交到右手叉肉吃。这种方法被称为美国式的吃法。不交换刀叉,用左手吃的方法被称为“欧陆式”吃法,通常在欧洲国家比较常见。这种方式在美国正逐渐被人们接受,如果将来有一天人们对在高档饭店这样吃习以为常,我也一点不奇怪。还有,切肉时一次切一片;一下子切好几块,或者把整块肉都切了显得很粗俗。

⒌喝饮料前先擦擦嘴。玻璃杯沿上沾上食物颗粒或油渍是很不雅观的。而且,一般看来嘴里含着食物喝饮料是粗鲁的做法。还有不要把饮料吐回杯子,那很让人恶心。

⒍用餐期间如果离开桌子,把餐巾放在椅子上,不要放在餐桌上;没有人愿意看着油渍的餐巾用餐。吃完之后,将餐巾放在盘子的左侧,或者如果盘子空了,就放在盘子里。

⒎当你必须传递食物或调味品给餐桌上其它人的时候,记得从右边传,或者说按逆时针方向传。不要像在寄宿公寓里吃饭,直接越过桌子递东西。

⒏当你不想咽下口中的食物时(比如说,一块骨头或一片肥肉),把食物送到口边,用叉子(或勺子,如果你正在用勺子)到嘴边接住食物,放到盘子里。只有在吃鱼的时候,才可以用手去捏鱼骨头。


⒐要引起侍者的注意,最好的办法是眼神示意。可是有时他们很忙,就会有意无意地不理睬你。这时你就可以把手举到与头齐高,但是不要把手举得太高或使劲挥动。

10.用过餐后,银餐具的正确位置是将它们平行地横放在盘子中,并将柄向着右面。说得再清楚点,柄部应该向着10点钟和4点钟的方向。注意,不是所有的侍者都知道这一点,他们可能还会问你是不是可以拿走你的盘子。至少这时你的做法显得很有身份。

读过这篇文章之后,你可能认识到你的餐桌礼节可能不像你想像的做得那么好(没关系,我们多数人都是如此)。说老实话,我也不是说这些窍门就将餐桌礼节一网打尽了;但是如果你遵守了这些窍门,你离掌握正确的餐桌礼仪就更进一步了。

我们都还记得妈妈告诉我们的关于就餐时的基本礼节--不要把手肘放在桌子上,不要在满嘴食物的时候和别人交谈。 但总想知道吃沙拉是该用哪个叉子或者怎样在高档餐馆里招来侍者?阅读这篇文章了解基本餐桌礼仪吧, 你将会在和女朋友,岳父母,雇主或其他人的约会中给他们留下美好印象的。

 餐具的摆放位置

在正式的情况下,所有的银餐具,玻璃餐具,杯碟等等都是被摆放在桌子上的,  所以经常都很难弄清楚什么时候用什么叉子或哪一个水杯是你的。一般情况下,银餐具是按使用的顺序从外到内摆放的。例如 :吃沙拉用的叉子和刀是放在餐具的最外边,里你的盘子最远(除调羹外),用餐后甜点的银餐具,如果不是和甜点一起拿上来的就在你餐具盘的上面。玻璃杯和杯、碟在你的右边,餐巾,面包盘和涂黄油用的小刀在你的左边

10个餐桌礼仪小窍门

现在你知道了餐具的摆放和什么时候用什么了, 这里是10个就餐中的小窍门

1.当你和6个或6个以上的人一起用餐时,礼貌的做法是等餐桌上的食物上到大概一半的时候再开始用餐,要是不足6个人的话就等到食物上全了的时候再开始用餐,除非食物的温度的变化很可能会影响享用或同桌的其他人坚持要你先开始

2.你要用你的刀把自己沙拉盘子里的大块的生菜或是其它的东西切开。最糟糕的做法是试图把大块的生菜塞进嘴里还有一些留在外面(不动脑筋,但你也可以用你的餐具来解决)

3给面包涂黄油的最合适办法是撕下一片一两口大小的面包,涂上黄油后吃掉, 然后再撕,再涂...永远不要直接吃掉面包卷,  也要避免一切两半就涂黄油。

4.切肉的的正确做法是先切下一片肉然后换右手接过叉子把肉叉起来--这是“美式”做法,“大陆式”则 直接使用左手而不用换到右手,这种做法多被用于欧洲国家采用--正获得越来越多的认可,而且如果在不久的将来在正式聚餐中“大陆式”被接受的话我也不会奇怪。把整块的肉切成小块或者一次切几小块都不雅观

5喝饮料之前要擦嘴。杯口上要是出现食物屑或是油脂是很不雅观的,而且嘴巴满的时候喝饮料也会让人觉得粗鲁,另外,嘴里的饮料咕咕响也会显的没素养。

6.当你中途要离开的时候,把餐巾放在椅子上而不是桌子上,没有人想看你的脏餐巾。吃完的时候把餐巾放到你盘子的左边,如果盘子已经被撤走了的话就放中间

7.如果你想把食物或是调味剂递给桌子旁的其他人,从右边递或者逆时针的方向递,而不要直接横过桌子递过去。

8当你不想吞下已经在嘴里面的食物(比如骨头或一块肥肉)时,把它移到嘴前边,用叉(如果正在用调羹的话就用调羹)把它接走放在你的盘子里,唯一的例外是鱼刺,你可以直接用手解决。

9需要侍者的时候,最礼貌的办法是用眼神交流。当然当他们很忙或是没有注意到你的时候也可以举手到头的高度,只不要将手举得高的过分和乱晃手。

10.当你吃好了的时候,餐具要把餐具平行,柄朝右地摆好放在自己盘子里然后撤盘,结束的时候可能在10点和4点。注意:不是所有的侍者都知道这一点,至少在上等餐馆里他们仍然会问你是否可以撤盘了。

读完这篇文章也许你认识到虽然你原以为你在餐桌礼仪上做的可以 但是事实也许不是这样,(没关系,这只是最好的)老实说,我不会说这就是所有的的餐桌礼仪,但如果你照着这些窍门做的话,你会离合适的餐桌礼仪更近一步了。

原文:Table Manner Tips Every Guy Should Know

发现者:transwood  来源:http://www.ploomy.com 发布时间:2008-03-21 类型:转载

We all remember the basics our mothers taught us about table manners–no elbows on the dinner table and don’t talk with your mouth full. But ever wonder which fork to use for your salad or how to signal a waiter at a fancy restaurant? Read on and learn the basics in table manners that will be sure to impress your date, girlfriend/wife’s parents, employers or whomever you dine with.

Table Setting Placement

In formal settings, all the silverware, glassware, cups, saucers and the like are placed on the table, so it’s often difficult to know which fork to use when or which water glass is yours. As a general rule to thumb, silverware is lined up in the order in which a person will use them, going from the outside, in. For instance, the fork and knife used for the salad are placed in the outermost of the setting, farthest from your plate (with the exception of the spoon). Dessert silverware, if not brought out with the dessert, are placed at the top of your entrée plate. Glassware, cup and saucer are placed to your right, while the napkin, bread plate and butter spreader to your left.

10 Table Manner Tips

Now that you know how the table setting is laid out and when to use each, here are 10 tips for the duration of the meal:

  1. When dining with six or more, it’s polite to wait till roughly 50% of the table has their food before starting your meal. In smaller groups, wait until the entire table has their food, unless food temperature is at high risk in decreasing the enjoyment of the meal, and/or others at the table incessantly insist you begin.
  2. You can and should use your knife to cut large pieces of lettuce or other ingredients in your salad. Nothing is worse than trying to shove a large piece of lettuce in your mouth and having some of it stick out. (No brainer, but this applies to your entrée as well.)
  3. The proper way to butter a piece of bread is to rip off a piece that’s about one or two bites in size, butter it, and eat it. Repeat. Never bite straight into a roll, and refrain from cutting it in half and buttering.
  4. While cutting meat, the correct way is to cut a piece and then switch your fork to your right hand to pick it up. This method is considered the “American” way. Not switching your fork and using your left is called the “Continental” way, and is done most often in European countries. This way is gaining acceptance and I wouldn’t be surprised if one day soon it’s considered acceptable in fine dining. Also, cut meat a piece at a time. Cutting the entire meat up into pieces or cutting more than one at a time is tacky.
  5. Wipe your mouth before taking a sip of your drink. It’s unsightly to see food particles or grease on the rim of your glass. Also, it’s considered rude to take a sip of your drink with your mouth full. Plus, backwash is gross!
  6. When leaving the table during the course of your meal, put your napkin on your chair, not the table. No one wants to see your stained napkin. And at the completion of the meal, place it on the left of your plate, or if your plate has been cleared, in the center.
  7. When in a situation where you have to pass food or condiments to others at the table, pass it to your right, or counter clockwise. Never do a “boarding house reach” across the table.
  8. When you don’t want to swallow a piece of food in your mouth (e.g. a bone or a piece of fat), move the piece to the front of your mouth and use your fork (or spoon if that’s what you were using) to retrieve it from your mouth and into the side of your plate. The only time its okay to use your fingers is when it’s a fish bone.
  9. To get the waiter’s attention, the most polite way is to make eye contact. However chances are they are busy and/or are ignoring you. It’s acceptable to raise your hand to head level, just don’t go overboard by raising it way above your head and wave it about.
  10. When you’re done with your meal, the proper placement of the silverware is to lay them parallel to each other and across the plate with the handles facing the right. To clarify, the ends would be facing 10 o’clock and four. Note: Not all waiters will know this and they still may ask you if it’s okay to clear your plate. At least you appear classy.

After reading this, you may realize you may not have as good table manners as you thought you did. (It’s okay, it happens to the best of us.) And honestly, I’m not saying these are not the “be all, end all” of table manners, but if you follow these tips, you’ll be a step closer towards proper table etiquette.
