中国和美国餐桌上的礼仪,
American table manners
Chew with your mouth closed.
When a dish is presented, the food is served to one's plate and then passed on to the next person.
Do not talk at an excessively loud volume.
Never leave home hungry. Leave for your destination at least half full just in case your host is late in preparing dinner or the food is displeasing.
If at all possible, refrain from coughing or sneezing at the table.
Never tilt back your chair while at the table, or at any other time.
Tea or coffee should never be poured into the saucer to cool but should be sipped from the cup. Alternatively, ice may be used to cool either.
Do not make unbecoming noises while eating.
Do not play with food or table utensils.
Do not put your elbows on the table or slouch.
The fork is used to convey any solid food to the mouth.
Eat soup noiselessly and with the side of the spoon.
Do not eat food with your fingers unless it is finger foods such as bread, fries, chicken wings, pizza, etc.
Do not start eating until at least two people are served. Alternatively, wait until the host/hostess lifts his/her fork (or spoon).
The fork may be used by either the left or the right hand.
When serving, serve from the left and pick up the dish from the right. Beverages are both served and removed from the right.
Always ask the host or hostess to be excused before leaving the table.
A prayer may be customary in some families, and the guests should join in even if they are not religious or do not follow the same religion. Most prayers are made before the meal is eaten. The Hutterites pray both before and after a meal.
When using paper napkins, never ball them up or allow stains to show.
Keep napkin on lap.
Never ask for a doggy bag when having a formal dinner.
When at formal dinner it is not required to finish plate.
When at an informal dinner, ask for a box when full.
Never talk on your phone at table. If urgent, ask host or hostess to be excused, and go outside. Apologize when returned.
It is acceptable in most places to not finish all of the food on your plate.
Scandinavian countries follow very similar rules.
Chinese table manners
These are mostly concerned with the use of chopsticks. Otherwise generally Chinese table manners are rather more informal, what would be considered rude in other cultures such as talking with the mouth full may be acceptable.
Chopsticks must always be held in the correct manner. It should be held between the thumb and fingers of the right hand,
Chopsticks are traditionally held in the right hand only, even by the left-handed. Although chopsticks may now be found in either hand, a few still consider left-handed chopstick use improper etiquette. One explanation for the treatment of such usage as improper is that this can symbolise argument, as the chopsticks may collide between the left-handed and right-handed user.
When communal chopsticks are supplied with shared plates of food, it is considered impolite to use your own chopsticks to pick up the food from the shared plate or eat using the communal chopsticks. An exception to this rule is made in intimate family dinners where family members may not mind the use of one's own chopsticks to transfer food.
The blunt end of the chopsticks is sometimes used to transfer food from a common dish to your own plate or bowl (never your mouth).
Never wave your chopsticks around as if they were an extension of your hand gestures, bang them like drumsticks, or use them to move bowls or plates.
Decide what to pick up before reaching with chopsticks. Do not hover around or poke looking for special ingredients. After you have picked up an item, do not put it back in the dish.
When picking up a piece of food, never use the tips of your chopsticks to poke through the food as if you were using a fork. Exceptions include tearing larger items apart such as vegetables. In informal use, small, difficult to pick-up items such as cherry tomatoes or fishballs may be stabbed but this use is frowned upon by traditionalists.
Chopsticks can be rested horizontally on one's plate or bowl to keep them off the table entirely. A chopstick rest can also be used to keep the points off the table.
Never stab chopsticks into a bowl of rice, leaving them standing upwards. Any stick-like object facing upward resembles the incense sticks that some Asians use as offerings to deceased family members. This is considered the ultimate faux pas on the dining table.
Chinese traditionally eat rice from a small bowl held in the left hand. The rice bowl is raised to the mouth and the rice pushed into the mouth using the chopsticks. Some Chinese find it offensive to scoop rice from the bowl using a spoon. If rice is served on a plate, as is more common in the West, it is acceptable and more practical to eat it with a fork or spoon. The thumb must always be above the edge of the bowl.
It is acceptable to transfer food to people who have a close relation with you (e.g. parents, grandparents, children or significant others) if you noticed they are having difficulty picking up the food. Also it is a sign of respect to pass food to the elderly first before the dinner starts (part of the Confucian tradition of respecting seniors).
Traditionally, it is polite for the youngest members of the table to address each and everyone of the elderly members of the table before a meal starts and literally tell them to "eat rice", which means "go ahead and start the meal", to show respect.
The host should always make sure the guests drinks are sufficiently full
When people wish to clink drinks together in the form of a cheer, it is important to observe that younger members should clink the edge of their drink below the edge of an elder to show respect.
