Paper Plates to Silver Spoons: Complete Guide to Table Manners

Starting with a discussion of different kinds of meal settings, utensils and the order in which they are used, viewers are taken through the steps of a meal. This production illustrates the importance of good posture, how to hold and use utensils and how to be prepared for conversation. The program shows the correct way to eat most common foods (salad, soup, bread, steaks, desserts, etc.). Viewers learn what to do when faced with tricky situations - a drink is spilled or a utensil dropped, food is offered which they don't or can't eat, a question is asked and their mouth is full, and much more.
