Knowing some basic table manners in western culture will help you make a good impression. Put the napkin on your lap. Before you leave the table, refold the napkin and put it beside your plate. Wait until everyone has been served to begin eating. Sit up straight at the table. Keep your feet under you. Don’t stretch them all the way under the table. Bring the food up to your mouth. Do not lean down to your plate. Remember not to talk with your mouth full of food. Try to make as little noise as possible when eating. Don’t sip your soup as if you want the whole house to hear. If your food is too hot, don’t blow on it. During the meal, the hostess will offer you a second helping of food or ask you to help yourself. If you refuse the first time, she might not ask you again. Ask others to pass the dishes that are out of your reach. Never stretch over the table for something you want. Don’t clean your teeth in public.
