Hi.... come back with me. This time I will discuss the italian table manner before going to the first point I will introduce the italian country first. Justa brief introduction so, you don’t get bored reading it. Italy is a romantic country. Because the  Scenery of ancient or classic buildings owned by the contry. Many people go there for vacation, honeymoon, or jus want to hunt for culinary. By the way culinary in italy there are meals that have special ways, such as :
coffee

Black coffee is my favorite drink. Italian people have the habit of drinking espresso coffee in the morning, after lunch and aftwr dinner. In italy before drinking coffee we are advised to drink water first, so that the taste of coffee really feels. Italian also don’t add milk or sugar in their coffee. because, drnking coffee with  milk (cappucinno and latte) is an American drinking habit.

pizza

Italian specialty pizza has a thin shape with simple toppings. Pizza can be eaten directly by hand,, not cut with a knife or fork. and don’t leave your pizza on the plate.

pasta

Pasta is food that is indetical to the Italian country. Pasta is served as an opening menu before foods containing protain.

Alcohol drink

 



Italian people always drink alcohol with food. Italian society has the habit of twisting wine that has been poured in a glass, then inhaling the aroma.

In addition to the typical way of eating in some foods and drinks there are also typical Italian eating procedures. One of them :
(Polite at the Dining Table)
If you first eat in a restaurant with table full of spoons and forks of various types and various sizes, plates and bowls have been arranged by the waiters make trembling and confused which one is taken first and to eat food.

The basic rules of procedure at this dining table consist of 3main items, first before eating, the second is how to use eating utensils, and the third when eating is taking place.
Before eating
Make sure the place and type of meal invitation you will go to, this is to adjust the clothes you want to wear. is it formal or relaxed with casual clothing.
Ask the host about the position of your seat, whether it’s free or whether it’s determined. When you’re seated and there are other guest who come then you simply nod to give respect, whoever the guest is whether male or female.
Don’t start eating until all guests are present, anf food is served in full in front of each guest, and they have taken food on their plates. or also before the host invite.
Use of utensils
A set of cutlery in the form of forks, spoons, knifes is usually available in each of you. The shape and size vary distinguished by the type of food, whether it is for an appetizer, main corse or for dessert.
Don’t worry about misuse, because usually for an appetizer and a dessert, the equipment is smaller than the main dish. the smallest size is for dessert.
Likewise for the glass available in front of you, if more than one is available, then most likely one of them is a glass for wine. Usually the wine glass is closest to your plate, and the glass of water is to the left. while the cup of coffee and tea is to the right of the set of eating utensils.
During eating
If served one by one , then make sure you also provide clear information on the dishes offered. If you are please you can say “yes, please” and the waiter will put it on your plate, or “no,thank you “, then the food will not be placed on your plate. Don’t assume your answer by nodding or shaking your head.
Tasting food before adding salt or papper to your food.
Enjoying soup and other food should not be tasted or loud sipping sound from your mouth.
Convey the say “excuse me”, when you leave the table to go to the restroom for a moment.
Don’t use your telephone to call or text, during the meal.
okay thank’s for reading my blog

        TABLE MANNER IN THE FRANCE

     Meal time for French people is a very important time, yes the right time to be scolded, to advise and the time to gather with family. They also like to pay attention or judge others from the way he behaves when eating. Polite or not. They cannot eat with the same menu in one day. so, there is no term "heat" or "for tomorrow" food. They also eat at least 5 kinds of fruit in one day, very healthy 😁.
    attitude when visiting: coming hour: if the french invites you to dinner at 7 p.m at home. do not suddenly come at 7 o'clock, give time for the host to get ready. come at 7:10 a.m. - 7:15 p.m no more do not be less. greetings french: for new people you are quite weird for them to shake hands. if you have become a friend or family, just stick your cheeks with the kiss "sound" from our lips.
     position of cutleries before and after meals. Always the same as other countries in general. if using a spoon left right and right left or left right. this is the most important part:
* Do not eat until the host says "Bon appetit".
* elbows do not touch the tables (only face level).
*body upright, food that comes to the mouth (not vice versa).

* napkins placed on your lap (thighs).
napkin for not lip wiping for sweat rags, and need to remember if you want to go and will immediately fold the napkin back in half and leave it on your chair. if you have finished lunch on the table.

As for the form of napkins for morning & afternoon positioned flat.

for dinner napkins are good to rise like a fan or hat that can be placed on a plate or glass of wine.

* After eating a spoon, fork, the knife must be placed in the same direction. for example in the direction of 10 o'clock or 4 o'clock.

* Do not leave lipstick or fingerprints on a glass or napkin.
* when the phone rings at a time .... krinngg ... only the phone is not needed, if you can call, you can ask permission for the host to receive a call.
when the banquet is over you can say "go home" at the end of the coffee.

thank's for read. 😊

table manners in India

           
Hi guys , I come back to the  table manner topic . Last week I discussed table manners in Europe and Asia,  this week I will discuss about table manner in India. India is dominated of Islam and Hinduism. Muslims don’t consume pork and Hindu don’t eat beef . India’s country is femous for  its films. In Indonesia we can see Indian film from morning till night.

By looking Indian films, we know various foods in india It makes me want to go to that country and taste it right away, but in India it has a unique way of eating that we need to know first.
When dining with Hindus, don’t touch directly any food that is being served to others, and this is especially the case between men and women : this makes it impure. When dining with devout Muslims, it is especially important for women  not to touch directly any food that is being served to men : this also makes it impure.

          

Traditionally ,eating in India using hands. put your right hand when we eat and receive an additional food offer. wash your hands before we occupy positions on the dining table.


For start and after meals will be less polite if cleaned with tissue or cloth.
Indian tradition doesn’t not emphasize on the use of cutlery, which is considered to be a part of western culture, such as fork and knif. Indian food such as curries and gravies are enjoyed best when eaten with hands. It is an innate part of the culture to eat with hands.
You’re not expected to use your left hand while eating. Even breads and rotis are broken into pieces using the right hand alone. But you’re supossed to transfer food from the common plate using your clean left hand.

playing with food or in any ways distorting the food is unacceptable.

If meal is served over banana leaves (in south India) then it is customar to fold the leaves over from the top (and not the bottom as this might be considered disrespectful in some parts of India) at the and of the meals. This is to note the host that you have finished eating.

when bribing food, make sure to bribe does not contaminate the palm of the hand. Use your fingers only to eat.

When eating, use medium speed. don’t be too rushed or to slow. Eating slowly will be considered as an insult, you are judged to be dislike of a banquet. It is also forbidden to look at the dinner plate and other guests’ dishes for too long.

Overall, it is hard to list a couple of points to define table manners in Indian culture.

if you eat meat ,don’t cut it into pieces at once. but, cut it small then eat it before you cut it again.

place the napkin in your lap while eating , use it when needed. place the napkin next to the plate when you finish eating.

When you are finished with your meal, lay the  utensils at an angle on the plate. The tips of the fork  and knife should be in the center of the plate and the handles should lay on the bottom right of the plate.

Don’t have food left on the plate.
