請問table manner 有殳有分英式或美式呢

係有唔同架﹗美國會多d manners既要求，有d係相同既，例如手肘不要放桌上，嚼東西時口不要張開等。有d就唔同，例如刀叉的擺法，或美國人用餐前會先祈禱等。以下比個list你參考吓…

[American]
- Chew with your mouth closed.
- When a dish is presented, the food is served to one's plate and then passed on to the next person.
- Do not talk at an excessively loud volume.
- Never leave home hungry. Leave for your destination at least half full just in case your host is late in preparing dinner or the food is displeasing.
- If at all possible, refrain from coughing or sneezing at the table.
- Never tilt back your chair while at the table, or at any other time.
- Tea or coffee should never be poured into the saucer to cool but should be sipped from the cup. Alternatively, ice may be used to cool either.
- Do not make unbecoming noises while eating.
- Do not play with food or table utensils.
- Do not put your elbows on the table or slouch.
- The fork is used to convey any solid food to the mouth.
- Eat soup noiselessly and with the side of the spoon.
- Do not eat food with your fingers unless you are eating foods customarily eaten with fingers.
- Do not start eating until every person is served. Alternatively, wait until the host/hostess lifts his/her fork (or spoon).
- The fork may be used by either the left or the right hand.
- When serving, serve from the left and pick up the dish from the right. Beverages are both served and removed from the right.
- Always ask the host or hostess to be excused before leaving the table.
- A prayer may be customary in some families, and the guests should join in even if they are not religious or do not follow the same religion. Most prayers are made before the meal is eaten. The Hutterites pray both before and after a meal.
- When using paper napkins, never ball them up or allow stains to show.
- Keep your napkin on your lap.
- Do not ask to take some of your uneaten food away from the meal after it ends, especially when having a formal dinner.
- Never talk on your phone at table. If urgent, ask host or hostess to be excused, and go outside. Apologize when returned.
- It is acceptable in most places to not finish all of the food on your plate.
- Bread plates are to the left of the main plate, beverage glasses are to the right.
- Use your silverware from the outside moving inward toward the main plate. Salad fork, knife and soup spoon are further from the main plate than the main course knife, fork and spoon. Desert utensils are either placed above the main plate or served with desert.
- Do not place your napkin on your lap until the host does. This signals the beginning of dinner.
- The knife blade should be placed on the edge of your plate when not in use. The blade should always face inward.
- When finished with your meal, place your knife and fork at the 4 o'clock position to signal to the server you are done.

[British]
- Chew with the mouth closed, and do not talk whilst chewing.
- Elbows must not rest upon the table while any food is present.
- To show that one has not yet finished eating, utensils are rested apart on the plate. They are placed together (fork to the left, knife to the right) when one has finished.
- Do not play with food.
- Always pour a bottled beverage into a glass, and refrain from spilling.
- If at all possible, refrain from coughing or sneezing at the table, and if needs be excuse oneself.
- Soup is to be lifted by the spoon in movements away from oneself, not toward.
- Fingers are not to be used except in the case of bread and other such food.
- Cutlery is used in the Continental fashion.
- The fork is used to convey any solid food to the mouth.
- The teaspoon must be removed from the cup before drinking.
- Do not lick your knife.
- The napkin is kept in the lap and never tucked into the collar.
- Port is only ever passed to the left.
- Do not start eating until everyone has been served, and your host has begun.
- Drink all drinks and soups noiselessly.
