Cut food into small pieces before eating
Sit up straight when you eat and don’t
lean on your elbows
Setting the Table
Table-Setting Basics
The cover is usually on the table before people sit down to eat.
The plate goes in the center of the cover, about 1 inch from
the edge of the table
Arrange flatware in the order in which it is used, starting at
the outside and working in toward the center
Forks go on the left of the plate, knives to the right (knife
blades face IN!!)
Family Service
The cover is set with the necessary tableware
The food is placed in serving dishes and passed around the table with people helping themselves
The main advantage of family service is that people
can serve themselves the amount they want
Plate Service
Plate service is generally used for family meals and in restaurants
Food is placed on the plates directly from the
containers in which it was cooked and the plates are then brought to the table
The only exception is salad
Plate service saves cleanup time more than
family service does
