我需要的英文解释英国或法国的table manner
When to start eating:
Despite what mother told you,culinary experts say you do not always have to wait for everyone to begin - start eating hot food when it is served.For cold foods or buffets,wait for the host to announce dinner,and wait until the head guest starts dishing.
Foods you can get by hand:
1.Bread:break slices of bread,rolls and muffins in half or into small pieces by hand before buttering.
2.Bacon:if there's fat on it,eat it with a knife and fork.If it is crisp,crumble it with a fork and eat with your fingers.
3.Finger meals:Follow the cue of your host.If finger meals are offered on a platter,place them on your plate before putting them into your mouth.
4.Foods meant to be eaten by hand:corn on the cob,spareribs,lobster,clams and oysters on the half shell,chicken wings and bones (in informal situations),sandwiches,certain fruits,olives,celery,dry cakes and cookies.
Removing inedible items from your mouth:
1.Olive pits:drop delicately into your palm before putting them onto your plate.
2.Chicken bone:use your fork to return it to the plate.
3.Fish bones:remove with your fingers.
4.Bigger pieces:bigger bones or food you don't appreciate you should surreptitiously spit into your serviette (napkin),so that you can keep it out of sight.
Which glasses go with what drinks
Wine connoisseurs agree that each type of wine needs a particular type of glass to bring out the distinctive bouquet.Using a narrow glass for a rich Burgundy,for example,won't allow enough room to swirl it around in,and it's the swirl that brings out its bouquet.The glass also needs to taper properly toward the top so that it captures the bouquet yet allows for sipping.In general,the stem of a glass should be long enough to keep hands from touching the bowl,which can affect the wine's temperature,and therefor its bouquet.
Table Manners for a Typical Evening Meal
