Learn about Table Manners Etiquette
Posted on: July 22, 2009 | By Maigal
Do any of you remember the scene in Pretty Woman when the concierge was trying to teach Julia Roberts proper table manners? Well, as painful as this is to admit, as recently as four years ago, I was that character from Pretty Woman (minus the prostitution of course). I didn’t know the first thing about proper table etiquette. I was still the traditional Chinese girl from Chinatown who never really branched out. When it came to a dinner outing, all that came to mind was a rice bowl and some chopsticks. I didn’t know the difference between a salad plate vs. a dinner plate or a goblet vs. a flute. I was clueless about western table manners. I’m sure some of you out there still have no idea what a goblet is. Answer: A goblet is just a water glass.
Here is a video I found that teaches proper table manner etiquette. Knowing proper table etiquette helps when going anywhere fancy. Let’s face it, you don’t want to look low class in front of your date or clients.
