By Gwen Lowe


It is good to appreciate the need for meal sharing and taking supper together with your friends at home or in the best restaurants around. When your friends invite you to dine with them in a particular place, you need to know how, to behave and some of the dining rules and etiquette guide that govern the way you should dine. You should know the tips that regulate your behaviors when you are out for dinner with your friends.

One of the most embarrassing habits most people have is to talk with their food in the mouth. This habit makes people have a bad impression of you and therefore you should avoid it. In fact, talking while at the same time you are eating is lack of table manners. Always ensure when you are talking you do not have food in your mouth.

You should never shout or say that you do not like what is being served. This would be wrong especially if that were all they had to serve. You should always try to eat small bits of the served meals even if it was not your favorite. The main thing is to participate in the feasting activity, but not finishing whatever they have placed on your table. You should be wise not to reject the food even though you do not like it.

Avoid eating the food pieces that accidentally fall on the table. Some people would not find this a problem especially when feasting on some of the most prestigious meals. You should portray your high level of discipline even if you were feasting on tasty chunks of chicken meal. It is always good to leave the piece that falls on the table or put it in another empty dish, but avoid eating it.

In addition many people conduct some mistakes even without knowing it. For example, you should never stretch your hand to pick sugar dish from another table or from the further corner end. Instead, you should ask a person who is closer to assist you with the sugar dish. However, stretching or waking up to getting the dish would not be a better idea at all and it is not also acceptable.

Another behavior to avoid is picking up calls or using your cell phone while on the dinner table. This is very rude to the host and the rest of the people on the dinner table. This is distracting to others and also unhygienic where you are eating with your bare hands. As a preparation to dine with others, put your phone in silent mode or even switch it off.

Always avoid blowing your nose as you dine with the rest on the feasting table. This would be the worst thing that you would ever do to anyone. In the event, that you must blow your nose, it is advisable to go to the restrooms or even outside the room. Blowing your nose as you dine with your guests may make them leave the rest of your meals right on your table.

In conclusion, ensure that you finish your food. Leaving some food on the table maybe a waste of food, and it may not seem good or pleasant to them. It would be wrong to waste too much food when you only need a little. Let the servers know the quantity of food that you would eat comfortably without wastage.
