China, Western table etiquette? Who is the connoisseur? Huh

Snacks (cold cuts):

15 minutes before the start of the table, the snacks are arranged, and knives or spoons are placed according to different dishes, forks are placed on hard pieces and slices, and soft dishes, soups, and juices are put into spoons. When the customer puts together the snack knife and fork, it means that the meal is ready, and it can be removed along with the eating plate.

Soups: There are generally two ways to serve soup: one is to put the soup in a soup plate, put a tray at the bottom, and give it to each guest; The other is to put the soup plate (mat plate) in front of the guests, and the waiter will hold the soup in front of each guest to ask for it, and the guests will take it at their own discretion.

When the guest puts the spoon upright, it means that the meal is finished, and the utensils can be removed.

Hot dishes: There are two forms of hot dishes: one is to put a long plate on the table and be picked up by the guests; The other is for the waiter to hold a long plate in front of each guest to make the dishes.

Let the dishes (divide the dishes) in order of priority.

Dim Sum: The last hot dish will be served with a snack. At this time, except for the dim sum fork, fruit knife, and tea spoon, the rest of the tableware should be removed.

Fruits: After using snacks, remove all the tableware and plates on the table, and the fruit can be served.

Black tea, coffee:

Generally, milk and sugar cans are placed in the middle first, and then coffee or black tea is served.

I'm a hotelier, hehe!

Don't clink glasses with red wine, and there are so many people.

The French legal planning.

Chinese and Western table manners are similar:

First, they all need to be ranked, and the West also needs to be ranked, and the right side is higher than the left, and the middle is higher than the two sides, and the reasonable arrangement of seats can maximize the network resources.

Second, let the dishes not be sandwiched.

3. Reasonable topics make the atmosphere not cold, as the host needs to take into account the emotions of most guests.

Fourth, after the guests arrive, they need to be introduced in a timely manner, so as to avoid the guests not being able to talk about each other's weaknesses and quickly explaining each other's weaknesses, causing misunderstandings among the guests.

Differences between Chinese and Western Chinese and Western table manners:

1. Seat arrangement etiquette: In Chinese banquet activities, round tables are often used. Not only are there differences between the different positions of the round tables, but there are also differences between the different seats on each round table.

In Western cuisine, long tables are generally used, and the level of the table at a formal banquet is determined by the distance from the main table, the more noble the table is on the right, and the closer to the host is at the same table.

2. In Western food, tea (or coffee) is usually arranged as the last dish, which is a sign of the end of the meal. Chinese tea and wine are seated together, and tea instead of wine will not appear in formal Western food. For guests who are not comfortable drinking alcohol, water, juice or non-alcoholic beverages will be prepared instead of tea.

3. Attendance time: Chinese are Changhui people with diversified time concepts, and Westerners are people with a single time concept. The requirement to stick to a strict schedule in everything you do and do whatever you need to do is a difference that is more prominent when attending a banquet.

The differences between Chinese and Western table manners are generally mainly reflected in the table atmosphere, tableware, seating arrangement, meal arrangement, etc. In terms of table atmosphere, China is generally more lively, everyone will toast each other and chat, while in the West, it is generally quieter and does not talk much during formal meals, and if you want to chat, you will generally choose the time for dessert or tea before the meal.

Differences between Chinese and Western table manners

Chinese tableware is mainly chopsticks, bowls, teacups, wine glasses, plates, etc., according to local characteristics of different tableware specific content and the number of letters also change, Western tableware is mainly knives, slippery forks, napkins, etc., relatively simple and fixed.

In China, the seating arrangement is generally a round table, which will allow the elders to sit first, and the younger the generation, the later they will be seated, while in the West, long table seats are mostly arranged, and the host sits at one end of the long table, and the rest of the seats are closer to the host's house, the more important the identity.
