* ** Both hands must be above the table at the same time. They cannot be below the table even if they are together. This rule comes from medieval times, when the king feared assassination. The action of putting your hands below the table was interpreted as an attempt to grab your dagger and assassinate the king. ** Do not place your napkin in your lap until the Hostess/Host does so. ** Buns are kept on the table cloth and not on plates. ** Remember to always say please and thank you ** If you've served your own portion, it is considered good manners to finish everything on your plate before asking for more. ** Do not put ice in your wine. At restaurants, wine is served at the temperature at which it is meant to be enjoyed. ** After you have finished eating, place the cutlery parallel together, vertically at the center of your plate so the waiter will know to take away your plate. ** While you are still eating your meal, place the cutlery to the sides of your plate at 4:00 and 8:00, opposite sides of the plate, signifying to the waiter that you wish to keep your plate. ** To communicate that you want more wine, simply finish your glass, but to signify that you have had enough to drink, leave some wine in your glass. ** When dining at another's residence, do not use salt or pepper. This is an insult to the person who cooked the meal and is interpreted as "You did not get it right."
