The zig zag style is completely unacceptable. And keeping one hand on your lap is also a faux pas

NOPE! Napkin always goes on your chair if you leave the table

For years I practiced the art of standing anytime a woman got up from the table or returned, often holding their seat for them as well. I copied it from old movies and as a salesman it made me memorable. But in the last 10 years it has been so shocking to people that I pretty much gave up except for my own wife for whom it never grows old.

Rules are meant to be broken! Good to learn this to break it tastefully, but not ignorantly.

The fork is not edible, and your teeth do not need to scrape it. Some of you genuinely have no clue how close you are to either having that fork shoved in to the back of your throat or with somebody else's fork in your eyeballs. You're not a pig, so please use the fork like a normal human being.

Switching hands with your utensils is seen as the domain of small children in Europe, same with cutting your steak into 100 little pieces and then eating by impaling them one by one.....

Also when in a nice restaurant Pizza is NOT a finger food in Europe, many people still eat with their hands but it's not proper dinner etiquette...

That along with Americans not holding wine glasses by the stem is how many Europeans can spot US Americans (besides how loud they talk)

Thoughts on bacon as a finger food or struggle to cut it with a knife?

@Kellybell2
@

After being in some European countries I am reluctant to put a utensils wrapped napkin on my laps. That custom seems to come from old ages when folks were concerned with their Holiday clothing to be accidentally stained, probably a Jewish habit. The main reason is that the napkin on the table ought to protect our eating utensils from "unvisible" dirt left by the equally invisible dirt and germ spreading busboy's "cleaning' tables rug.
I see people placing that napkin on their laps and spreading their forks, spoons, and knives directly on that "clean" table. Ugh!

It is not acceptable to put your elbows or even your arms on the table at any time during a meal. Why do you even need to ? Otherwise this is good advise.

Table manners coming from a American serious what a joke
