Different countries have different ideas about how to be polite. In Britain, table manners are important. Good table manners in England are as follows:
★How to sit
You should sit up straight in your chair. When you eat, don’t pick up the bowl and bring it to you. This is called very bad manners.
★Noises at the table
It is never a good idea to make a noise at the table.
★Using your fingers
Usually we don’t pick food up with our fingers when we are eating main dishes, but there are some foods such as pizza, sandwiches, chips (or fries) and fruit, we can eat them with fingers.
★Your mouth
It is not polite to talk with your mouth full of food, or to eat with your mouth open. And if possible, do not make any noises.
★How much to eat
It is polite to eat the food clearly that you have been offered, so a clear plate is a good plate. It shows that you enjoy the food. If you can’t finish everything and need to leave a little, that’s OK. You could saysomething like “That was very nice. ..Thank you.”
