DINING ETIQUETTE
Dining etiquette is just as important for a Pink Girl as social etiquette. This should be practiced at home and applied in public. Here are the basic rules.
- During meals, your napkin should remain on your lap. If it falls, do not pick it up. Ask for another one.
- Cut your food as you eat rather than precutting. Let your knife do the work for you,
- If you or someone you are dining with is left-handed, it is best for the left-handed person to sit at the left end of the table or at the head of the table. This arrangement helps ensure that everyone has adequate elbow room to eat comfortably. However, if the person you are eating with is not familiar with the fact that you are left-handed, do not mention it.
- Pass the salt and pepper together. Also, do not season your food before you have tasted it.
- Used silverware should never touch the table; rather, they should rest on your plate.
- Place your napkin on your chair if you leave the table during a meal. Place your dirty napkin to the left of your plate only when everyone has finished and you are ready to leave the table.
- When you are not eating, keep your hands on your lap or resting on the table (with wrists on the edge of the table).
