★Chew and swallow(咽)all the food in your mouth before taking more or taking a drink.

★Break bread and rolls with your fingers not with your knife.

★Break a small piece of bread (or a roll) and butter it.

Do not butter the whole slice or half a roll at a time.

★You may eat chicken and pizza with your fingers if you are a barbecue or a very informal situation. or always use a knife and fork.

★Never talk with food in your mouth.

★Do not blow on hot food or drinks.

★Never use your fingers to push food onto your spoon or fork.

★If you spill(洒出) anything on someone else, do not try to clean up the thing. Offer him/her a napkin and let him/ her do it.

★If you burp, cover your mouth with your napkin. After it happens, say a quiet “pardon me”.
