English Table Manners

(A List of Do’s and Don’ts)

On the continent people have good food;

in England people have good manners.

Don’t put your elbows on the table. Sit facing the table and keep your feet under you, don’t stretch them all the way under the table. Never stretch over the table for some-thing you want, ask your neighbour to pass it. Take a slice of bread from the bread-plate, don’t harpoon your bread with a fork.. Don’t bite into the whole slice, break it off piece by piece. Vegetables, potatoes, macaroni are placed on your fork with the help of knife. Cut your meat into small pieces, one piece at a time. Chicken requires special handling. Just cut as much as you can, and when you can’t use knife and fork any longer, use your fingers. Don’t use a knife for fish, cutlets or omelettes. Don’t eat off the knife. Don’t lick your spoon. Try to make as little noise as possible when eating, or they’ll say you’re a noisy eater. Don’t talk with your mouth full. Never read while eating (at least in company). Never spoil your neighbour’s appetite by criticizing what he or she is eating. The customary way to refuse a dish is by saying, “No, thank you”. Don’t say, “I don’t eat that stuff” and don’t make faces to show you don’t like it. If you really feel hungry, ask for the second helping. And finally, don’t forget to say “thank you” for every act of kindness. By the way, English people do not wish each other “Good appetite”.
