AT THE TABLE UNDER THE WORLD CODE
A few rules about dinner. The napkin is used to protect the dress from stains, lip or hand abrasion, but do not use it to clean the cutlery or plate. After use, it is not folded, but placed next to it. Cutlery is not put down on the table but rests on the plate or a separate extension. If the host does not replace the cutlery, it can be cleaned with a piece of bread. The spoon is taken with the fingers and lifted with the end and not the side of the spoon to the mouth, when finished eating it is placed with the indentation upward on the plate. When the soup is served to the table, the host pours it on his plate himself and passes it on. When applying the dish to yourself from the platter, do not turn it, but take the piece that is closest to you. In the case of serving the platter from hand to hand, women scoop first and then men, being careful not to spill the dish on their neighbor. Food is taken with cutlery, meat with a fork, sauce with a spoon, fork and spoon vegetables. Do not ladle bread into the dishes or add water to the wine, take the sauce with a spoon, meat is not cut into small portions. We take a slice of bread from the platter with a fork, we continue to use our hand, we divide the soft legumes with a fork. We take pepper and salt with a knife or a spoon designed for this purpose. We eat the fish only with a fork, we can hold it to ourselves with bread. We gently remove the seeds from the mouth with a fork. When eating some foods we use our fingers, like asparagus. After drinking the contents of a glass, we dry our mouths with a napkin, never pour a dish to full, and do not drink while eating. In summary, at the table, one must not slurp or slurp, talk with a full mouth, take food with fingers, wipe the plate with bread, lick fingers or spoon, pick at teeth with cutlery, touch hair, slurp or cough.
