lead. If you are guest, avoid
being explorative. Don’t take a long time
to order. Consider asking your
host/hostess for a recommendation before making your decision.

THE ‘PASS’
Do not reach across the table for an item - politely ask the person next to you to pass.
Pass “community food” such as the breadbasket, salt and pepper, and salad dressing to the right.
Pass it with the handle pointing towards the recipient

SOUP & BREAD
When eating soup, think of making a circle: Spoon away from you, bring around to your mouth and back to the bowl.
Soup is taken from the side of the soup spoon - it is not inserted into your mouth.
![Page 14: diningetiquette -- 5 dec 2014.ppt](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/55cf92fb550346f57b9ae01a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SEASONINGS & SWEETENERSAlways taste your food first
before using any seasonings. Do not assume it needs to be seasoned.
The rule of thumb is no more than two packets per meal.

EATING
Wait for the host to start eating or to signal you to eat.
Toothpicks should be used discreetly and in private; not at the table.
When sharing a plate of chips or veggies with a dip or sauce with others, apply the “Single Dip Rule” - that is, dip only once
