Don't do these things while dining with people!!

I know we all are excited about this Valentine day. And it's  better to prepare ahead. Here are the things to take note of when you are about to dine. 

Note 1 - Don't feel overwhelmed when you see plenty cutleries. Yeah. You might feel anxious as to how to start. Bhet, relax, I gat you!😜😜

Note 2 - You are given a warm and damp cloth by the waiter, use it and hand it back.

And if there's no towel given, use your hand sanitizer to rid your hands of germs. 

Or get up and excuse yourself from the table

Note 3 - Pick up your table napkin and place it on your lap, Spread it

Don't put it on your chest. It's razz. 

It would take every droplets of food.

If you want to excuse yourself from the table, and you would be returning, take the napkin and place it on your seat. This signifies you are coming. 

But if you won't be coming back, pick the napkin and place it on the table beside your dish

Note 4 - Before we dig deep, please don't not take the toothpicks to pick your teeth openly

The elegant way to do it is to take the toothpicks and cover your mouth and do 

Note 5 - A three course meal

Always use the outside in rule. Whatever meal you are served first, always ensure that you use the cutleries on the outside. 

Appetizer

Place the spoon on the soup, slide it on the plate, and it would take the excess drip. Then drink.  

Salad - Fork and knife. Pick up the outer part cutlery, place the fork down, use the knife to cut what's needed, put your salad in your mouth. 

If you are not comfortable eating with a fork and knife, eat with your fork. And if you can't eat with your left, please use your right. 

Don't do what you are not comfortable with

Final Rule - - Do not stuff a lot of food in your mouth when eating. Take a bits at a time. Like that you can hold a conversation

- Do not chew loudly. Chew Quietly. Chew your food slowly

- Chew with your mouth closed. Chew quietly

- If you make a mess around your mouth, simple pick up your napkin on your lap and gently dab it and place it back on your laps. 

- Ensure you are sitted very close. You don't come to meet the food. The food comes to meet with you. 

- Do not place your elbow on the table when eating. Especially when food is in the table. Your hand should be by your side. 

- Do not drink from a bottle if a bottle is placed on your table. There's a glass in front of you. 

- If the waiter doesn't pour your drink for you in your glass and she's nowhere to be found, pour it yourself. But if you have someone dining with you, pour theirs before pouring yours.

I would be stopping here so you can digest all these. Then we dive in properly next Friday. As that would be the last Friday to launch in to our Love day.

I would love to have you comment. Please use the comment box nah 🙄☹️
