Differences of Table Manners
Linda: Hi, Maya. I want to invite a friend from America to have a western dinner on the weekend. So I want to ask you something.
Maya: What would you like to know?
Linda: I just don't understand the American table manners.
Maya: You should learn about some Chinese cultures, especially the table manners.
Linda: I think you are right. Can you tell me the differences between Chinese table manners and American table manners?
Maya: The most obvious difference is that they use knives and forks, but we use chopsticks.
Linda: Exactly. I know they often place the knife and spoon on the right of the plate. The fork is on the left.
Maya: You'd better keep your left hand under the table unless you use it in the process of cutting.
Linda: How can I know that he is full?
Maya: He will tell you that he is full. And if he puts knife and fork in a position on the plate looking like the hands of a clock at 5: 30, it means that he is finished.
Linda: There are really so many differences. Thank you.
Maya: You are welcome.
菜 品 形 式
就像中餐分主食、热菜、凉菜、点心等等一样，西餐菜单也把菜品分门别类，并且也有“套餐”概念，不过中西饮食习惯不同，所以与中餐类别相对应的食物，不一定是你熟悉的形式。下面就以经典法餐的菜单流程为例，介绍每种西餐类别的名称和内容：
Appetizer/First Course前菜
美式叫法：Starter
西餐的主菜，以大块肉类为主，或者是整块鱼，或大个头的海鲜中国人概念里的主食和素食，比如面包和土豆泥。也会作为配菜(Side Dish)一齐奉上美国快餐店的菜单，还有1主n配的套餐(Combo)。
Dressing / Sauce酱汁
Dressing指的不是裙子，是沙拉的调味汁，Sauce泛指搭配菜肴和甜点的各种蘸汁、烧汁，比如番茄酱(Ketchup)、肉卤(Gravy)，一般来讲sauce比dressing要浓稠重口一些厚重感再强一点的，叫Paste。
Dessert/Pudding甜点
为啥pudding是甜点，有两点值得说明：一是饮料(Beverage)并不算甜品，一般需要单点;二是咱爱吃的甜软型面包，反倒可以作甜点。因为很多都是酥皮点心(Pastry)，在西方不太算主食。
食 材 类 型
大概是很多人对西餐菜单产生畏难情绪的一个原因。但实际上，西餐菜名还比中餐更“坦诚”呢，像“夫妻肺片”这种细思恐极的抽象菜名，是绝对没有的
基本都是【制法+主料+配料】这种毫无创意的格式。所以，只要知道大部分西餐常吃的食材及其部位，菜名再长，也不会有啥理解难度哒~。
