Table Manners – ABC’s

A. When first being seated at the table, do not

touch anything until everyone arrives

You can see what you will be eating/drinking by the “layout of the table”

Watch the host/hostess for cues and follow their lead (napkin, eating, etc.)

Only start to eat once everyone has been served and when the host/hostess starts to eat

Table Manners – ABC’s

B. Remember to start with your utensils from the

“outside in” (farthest away from center plate)

When you are not eating, keep your hands on your lap or resting on the table (with wrists on edge)

Never cut more than three bites at one time

Eat rolls or bread by tearing off a small bite sized pieces and buttering only the piece you are preparing to eat

Do not season your food before tasting it

Table Manners – ABC’s

C. Sugar Packets should be opened to remain in

one piece. When empty, fold packet and place underneath iced tea plate or bread plate. (and only tear ¾ across)

Tea packets, where do they go? To the right, underneath of your coffee saucer

If you don’t like a piece of food that is in your mouth, you have two options: Finish what you are chewing and swallow it Remove it from your mouth by how it entered (i.e. if

brought in by fork, remove by fork) and put it back on your plate – do not remove it into your napkin!
