Hi there, I've never been to this fancy restaurant before, can you tell me how to use all these utensils properly?

Sure, we're happy to help! Let's start with the napkin, it goes on your lap to catch any crumbs or spills.

Got it. How about the glass?

That's for your beverages, just hold it with your fingers around the stem or base, and take small sips.

I see. And this cup?

That's for any hot drinks, like tea or coffee. Hold it by the handle and make sure to blow on it before taking a sip.

Okay, what about the plate and bowl?

The plate is for your main course, while the bowl is for soups or salads. Use your utensils to scoop or fork the food onto your plate or bowl.

Makes sense. And the fork, spoon, and knife?

The fork goes on your left, the spoon and knife on your right. Use the fork for solid foods, spoon for soups or desserts, and knife for cutting.

Thanks for explaining that all so clearly. I feel much more confident now!

No problem at all, happy dining!
