I'm very grateful that my grandmother took me to an etiquette course when I was about 8 years old. I incorporated all the rules since then and for me all of this is quite natural. I also hear compliments from different people from time to time that I am very elegant. I grew up in a simple immigrants family but I learned that even if you don't have easy access to money and affluent people, you can still stand out by: etiquette, proper manners, cultural knowledge, clean and well groomed appearance.

I mean- I couldn’t agree more about everything else but this one. I have a small mouth. I like my tomatoes, toppings etc. evenly distributed throughout my lettuce. If I don’t cut my salad then I will have to strain my mouth wide open and literally feel like I’m stuffing it in. My dressing will be all over my face and I’ll have to eat my veggies separate because there is no way a huge chunk of lettuce plus anything else is happening. I just can’t understand why this is considered poor etiquette. I love etiquette and feel it’s not rules but rather being polite. I’m going to continue to cut my salad only because I don’t feel it’s impolite to do so.

Omg i showed this to my mom and she already knew ALL of them! I did know most of them but i was like mom why wouldn’t you teach me this and she said well they’re obvious honey 😂 OKAY MOM YISUS

Love these tips! I was raised by a British military father and have also taken a course in dining etiquette, but I still learned some new things. Thanks!

Great short video!!! I do have one caveat. While I was always taught that the salad should not be cut, that comes with the assumption that the restaurant has served it in appropriately sized, torn pieces. UNFORTUNATELY, that is often not the case. In that scenario I believe it is better to cut than to stuff an entire leaf (that cannot be folded) into your face.

I Ioved the part when you highlighted the proper way to hold the wine glass. I see a lot of people doing this. Besides the fact that this doesn't look elegant and obviously, it's not the proper way! If the wine happens to be cold then you will be warming it by doing this and it will totally change the wine notes even though it will actually take 70 degrees for this to happen. LOL! Thank you Anna!

@MrCmon113

3 жыл бұрын

Firstly the warmup is negligible unless you hold the glass for a long time. Secondly not all wine is cold. A drink being cold masks the taste, so when you are drinking something really fancy, imo it should have room temperature. Thirldy, you don't have to hold it at the rim or something. Hold it just below the bowl. That's way more elegant than awkwardly balancing it at the stem.

Thanks a lot !! as always,love your content, but this one is particularly practical!!!❤️❤️❤️

I'm loving the quick videos and slightly fast-paced, keep up the great videos. ☺️

One thing that is a pet peeve of mine is when the waiter tells me to save my fork for the entree. I think that’s one of the tackiest things I’ve ever seen! I always ask for fresh silverware.

In fine dining establishments, a waiter would never tell a guest how to use their silverware. It's rude! And if a guest can truly afford to eat there, they should have the tools to learn in advance how to use their silverware.

I agree! The "fold the leaves" trick may work, I honestly never thought of that so I will try it next time. But I honestly think all restaurants should buy salad cutters and cut those dang leaves so this is not an issue!

For number 2, cutting salad leaves... I would rather cut them into smaller pieces rather stuffing a humongous leaf into my mouth all at once. This risks smearing lipstick which requires a trip to the ladies room to correct. For number 8, if one has arthritic fingers like I do, then grasping the bowl of the glass can be necessary. If I used just my fingers to hold the glass’s stem, then I risk having it tip over resulting in a nasty accident.

You miss the bigger picture. It's not your job at a fine dining establishment to be cutting your salad. That is the job of the kitchen help, and it was the waiter's job to eye the salad before he brought it to you. Have him take it back for cutting. Being elegant doesn't mean evading a polite request to have others do their jobs right.

@@lucybraun8969 - Lucy is understands that cutting salad at the table indicates the chef's error. However, sending a salad back to be cut is exceedingly insulting to the chef, which is an entirely inelegant solution. Plenty aspects of dining etiquette are to respect the chef. The purpose of etiquette is to make everyone comfortable and keep a steady flow. Snobbery toward the chef and wait staff is not elegant living. Leafy salad is not intended to be used with a knife, therefore, using a knife with the salad is alerting that the dish wasn't properly served. If a lettuce leaf cannot be folded onto the fork, cutting is okay, but a chef aspiring to be the best would be embarrassed that the salad was not better prepared. We are trying not to embarrass people, which is what etiquette is all about. Cutting food in itself is not the problem. Respect for the host and staff is the key.

@@SpaceTrashCrash Hogwash. The chef caters to the guest, not vice versa. If the chef put so little thought as to how giant he served lettuce leaves, he needs to own the error and fix it.

@@lucybraun8969 - Elegance revolves entirely around how well you treat others. Being rude with the chef in a nice home or restaurant will not benefit you nor the other guests. Your exaggeration about being served giant leaves is absolutely not realistic in a nice establishment. If you are actually served all giant leaves, then you have chosen a questionable place, and I wouldn't trust the kitchen to treat you nor the salad well after sending it back. Simply do not return, and find a better place.
