Different countries have different ideas about manners on how you behave when you are eating.
In England, table manners are important. Good table manners in England are as the followings.
☆How to sit—People should sit up straight in the chair. It is not a good idea to lean(倾斜) forwards or backwards. When you eat, you should not lean towards the plate, but bring the knife, fork or spoon towards you. At the same time, do not put your elbows on the table, nor reach over someone's plate for something.
☆Using your fingers—English people normally don't pick food up with their fingers when they are eating main courses. If you are not sure, the safest is to use your knife or fork. There are, however, some kinds of food usually eaten with fingers, such as pizza, sandwiches, burgers, crisps and fruit.
☆Your mouth—It is not polite to talk with your mouth full of food, or to eat with your mouth open. And if possible, do not make any noises. Never lick(舔) your plate after eating.
☆How much to eat—It is polite to eat all the food that you have been offered, so a clear plate is a good plate. It shows that you enjoyed the food. If you can't finish everything and you need to leave a little, that's also okay. You could say something like “That was very nice, thank you, but I'm just too full to eat another bite.”
