Can't remember where your soup spoon ought to go? What about your salad fork? Knowing how to set a traditional table can seem like antiquated etiquette -- but it can come in handy! Anna Post, great-great-granddaughter of etiquette expert Emily Post, shows how to set a table with a plate full of tips and tricks to boot (even your grandmother will be impressed).
Lesson by Anna Post, animation by TED-Ed.

The way you set your table is important, because it influences three things: It indicates the tone/feeling that people have about being together. It lets people know that you think they are important enough to put in extra effort for them. It influences the appearance of the food served. This video really gives us lots of ideas about setting a table.

When I once learned to set the table, I always took out so many knives and forks, and because my family is Chinese, they would always be like 'Put it back, we're Chinese, and we eat with chopsticks.'

That makes sense! I was wondering why it would just be assumed that you'd use your off hand for your fork. I would only want my knifes on the right personally, even though if I'm doing knife work I use my left hand. Next time I eat a fancy meal I'm going to "fix" the layout, lol

@nicholaskolaric343
@nicholaskolaric343 7 лет назад
would the left handed people or vice versa have to have each their own hand set up. so with this set up you would change the utensils for each person if they are left or right handed - would that work, or do they just change it themselves
@CobaltHanna

If you get your hands on a full "fancy" silverware set, say, at a really fancy restaurant or as an heirloom or something, the salad forks tend to be smaller than the dinner forks. Anyway, you eat your salad with the "salad" silverware, whether it's actually smaller or not, then leave it on the plate. The butler or waiter or whoever's handling changing courses takes your plate, silverware and all, back to the kitchen and brings out the main course (or sometimes the soup), so you're going to want that second fork, whether it looks the same to you or not.

The Bread plate goes next to the forks and the napkin goes on the plate or middle of the setting, and you place or hold wine glasses by the stem... she put fingerprints on the glasses. The water glass goes first because that's the first thing you drink. unless wine is a priority, then you put a white wine glass first because that goes with the first course, and a red wine glass next that goes with the main course... (I worked in restaurants for years) I'm not a snob that's just how it's done. :)
