When you sit down for a fancy mean, it’s not just a napkin in the lap that’s going to cut it. There are other rules that will help you fit in.
According to Food and Wine
- Never lift the menu off the table
- Don’t clink the glassware. The less noise, the better.
- Keep the rim of your plates as clean as possible.
- Place discards on the upper left part of the place
- Keep your bread on the plate at all times unless you are delivering it to your mouth
- Never say you are going to the restroom. Just excuse yourself.
- Leave one bite left on your plate. It shows you enjoyed the meal but weren’t so hungry that it wasn’t enough. \

Do you think the reason no one has heard of the fine dining rules is
because alot of the schools don’t have Home Ec anymore So children aren’t taught these
Or is it just old fashioned and no one practices them anymore
I remember all of these from learning in Home Ec class
