Table manners are the rules used while eating. 5 Each family or group sets its own standards for how strictly these rules are to be carried out. Here are some basic table manners for you.

 The host or hostess takes the first bite unless he or she instructs otherwise. 6 In a group dining situation, it is considered impolite to begin eating before all the group have been served their food and are ready to start.

 7 Ask for the items to be passed to you. Diners should pass those items directly to the person who asked. This shows considerations, too.

 The fork is held with the left hand and the knife held with the right. Eat with a fork unless the food is meant to be eaten with your fingers.

 Don't pick anything out from your teeth. 8

 Chew with your mouth closed. Licking one's fingers and eating slowly can also be considered impolite.

 Children are often expected to ask permission to leave the table at the end of the meal.

In conclusion, we can see table manners are not only about proper eating. 9
