Deciphering Table Manners

Forks and knives are arranged
by use from the outermost
being the first used.  While
eating, place knife, like a hat,
across top of plate horizontally.  

If there are two knives as part
of the setting, the fish (or salad
knife) will be the rightmost knife.
The inner fork and knife are
provided for the entree.
Tenets of Good Dinner Conversation:
Don’t be afraid of silence.

Read the paper or surf the internet beforehand
to have current events topics in mind for dinner
small talk.

If all else fails, talk about what’s in front of you if
you can’t think of anything else (e.g., lovely
decorum of restaurant, attractive floral
centerpiece on table, etc).
