How to eat meat properly
Meat dishes can be conditionally divided into twogroups: dishes from chopped meat (cutlets, zrazy) and dishes from lump meat (for example, roast). Cutting chopped meat with a knife is a rough mauveton, although in some cases etiquette allows an exception to the rule: for example, if pieces of goulash are too large, it is desirable to cut them with a knife and fork in half before putting them in your mouth. In other cases, according to the rules of etiquette at the table, dishes from chopped meat are eaten with a fork, but keep it in the left hand (do not forget that there is another side dish that is eaten with a knife).

Dishes from lumpy meat can be eaten by twoways. The first, called "American", prescribes to eat a hot meat dish with a garnish as follows: cut a piece of meat with a knife and fork into small pieces, after which the knife is laid on the right edge of the plate, the fork is shifted to the right hand and starts eating. This option, no doubt, has the right to exist, sinning with a big drawback: meat, immediately cut into pieces, quickly cools and therefore loses a number of taste qualities. Nevertheless, this method is just a find for those who do not really know how to handle a knife and fork.
According to the second, classical method, suchmeat dishes should be eaten, not for a minute laying off table knives and forks, cutting off a piece of meat from a large piece of meat. This version of the rule of etiquette at the table is considered more secular.
Sauce is a frequent companion of meat dishes, it can bothto enter into the composition of the dish, and served separately in the gravy boat. By the way, using the sauceboat, you need to pour the sauce directly on a piece of meat and in no case on the side dish, after all the sauce is needed in order to give the meat a specific, piquant taste. Can I eat the rest of the sauce in a plate? It is certainly better not to do this at solemn public feasts. But there is no reason to deny yourself such a pleasure in a less formal setting. From a piece of bread lying on a pie plate, break off a small piece and put it in a bowl with the remains of meat sauce. Then with a fork, the teeth of which are turned down, press down this piece and knife a few light pressing movements, impregnating the bread, as a "blotter", with sauce.
Sausage - it should be eaten according to the rules of etiquette fortable as well as lumpy meat - with a knife and fork (snackbars). The habit of making a sandwich with sausage is justified only at informal, friendly feasts.
Pate served as an independent dish,it is better to eat a diner or a dessert spoon. In addition, it is allowed to spread the pate on toast. To do this, place a small portion of the pate on the edge of the plate, then smear with a personal snack knife on the bread, which is held by the fingers of the left hand on the plate, and does not stick to the weight. A toast with pate lying on a plate, according to the rules of etiquette at the table, is eaten with a knife and fork.
