Any cultured person familiar with the rules of table etiquette. But what if you find yourself in an awkward situation at the table and how to get out of it?
For example, in the soup you find midge, fat piece of meat fell on the tablecloth or choked you, it is not end of the world, and this unpleasant situation sooner or later, can happen to anyone of us. If you took a similar embarrassment, do not panic and do not attract attention, but just think of how to proceed in such a situation.
Very hot or poor-quality food
If the piece was too hot, quickly wash down with water or other liquid. If thereof at hand was not, quickly and discreetly spit on a piece of burning plug or pull it from his mouth and put his hand on the edge of the plate.
You coughed or want to sneeze
If you feel that a cough will be short, then get up from the table is not: covering her mouth with your hand or a tissue, cough (or sneeze) and apologized. If the coughing fit is strong, apologize and hurriedly left the room.
You choke on a piece of meat or bone
Choking, try to "push" the stuck piece by drinking a sip of any drink. If this does not work, coughed, covering his mouth with a napkin. When the cough will last longer, apologize and leave the bathroom or other room.
If you're really feeding, there is no place to record, you need to attract attention and call for help. Maybe it affects your life.
Food stuck in the teeth
Remove jammed between the teeth of the food at the table - mauvais ton. If a piece of food you deliver pain or discomfort, wait for the change of course or other breaks in the meal, get out of the hall and there preventing you remove a piece of toothpick.
You are dropped or spilled on the table anything
Fallen on the table a piece of you must pick up from the table and put it on the edge of his plate, apologizing to the hosts for their discomfiture. If, after he has left a trail, moisten the edge of water, wipes and try to remove it.
In the same way you should do if you spilled something on the table.
On your plate you have noticed the hair or insect
Noticing something inedible on your plate, it is better to get rid of it quietly and not attract attention, not to discredit the hostess of the evening. If you are too uncomfortable, just set aside his plate.
If such a situation occurred in a restaurant, you have the right to point to a foreign object in the dish, and require replacement.
If inedible already got in your mouth, then imperceptibly remove it and place it on the edge of the plate.
