* If you are the recipient of a toast, keep your glass at arm’s length—never drink from it. Instead, simply nod your head and graciously say, “Thank you.”
*Never take your cocktail to the dinner table.
*Allow your food to cool on its own—never blow on anything.
*If you wear lipstick, keep it off your plate and napkin by blotting it as soon as you apply it.
*Your napkin is there for you to dab your mouth only. Do not use it to wipe off lipstick or (God forbid) blow your nose.
*Keep your elbows off the table at all times.
*Don’t put your purse, keys, sunglasses, or eyeglasses on the table.
*Take food out of your mouth the way it went in. If a piece of steak fat went into your mouth with a fork, spit it out onto the fork.
*Remove an olive pit with your thumb and index finger.
*Taste everything on your plate before you add salt or pepper.
*Leave your plate where it is when you are finished with your meal—don’t push it away from you.
