Show I Page 1C North Edition Lakeside Review Wednesday, November 30, 1983 tudents Are Taught Table Technique Lyndia Grahma Review Correspondent A beautifully set LAYTON table and proper table manners can enhance any meal, 'according to Georgiann Goode, a student teacher at Layton High. Ms. Goode will graduate from Utah Sate University where she has attended school prior to her student teaching. The students in Ms. Goodes classes have been studying table manners and settings. . Ms. Goode said that it is important for the students, both : ' male and female, to know the proper, techniques for setting a table and to be able to conduct themselves with good manners in order for them to be able to make their families and guests feel comfortable and welcome. That should be the goal of any homemaker or host and hostess, according to Ms. Goode and a 'side benefit is the organization in the home that is achieved. Knowing how to do these things will provide organization in the home and, family as well as make sitting and eating together as a family a more exciting and satisfying event, she said. In order to practice what they learned, the students held an contest with units competing to see which one could set the nicest table for the meal they chose. The units were judged on table coverings, dinnerware, flatware, glasswear, centerpieces, coordination, creativity, and overall ef- while helping themselves to the food. Once the table is set and the food served, a persons actions, or manners can either contribute to the harmony of the meal or cause embarrassment and concern for those at the table. Ms. Goode listed some com- fect. Braaklait: A luncheon plate is used for eggs or any other main course. The cereal bowl goes on the luncheon plate. Only at breakfast Is it good form to have the cup and saucer on the table at the beginning of the meal. r Luncheon: The plate for a first, course, if any, is placed on top of the luncheon plate. To serve soup, set the Loup bowl and a liner plate on lop of the luncheon plate and have a soup' spoon already in place at the right of the teaspoon. A fork for the first course would be placed to the left of the luncheon fork. Salad . can be served with the main course on the luncheon plate. Even small children can be taught the most courteous way to act and respond 'at a meal with a little time and patience. As a rule, sit down and rise from the left side of the chair at Family Dinner: If there is no first course, the napkin is usually placed at the center of the .dinner plate. The salad plate is the'n set to the left of the forks. The teaspoon in thp place set- -, ting is used for dessert or dessert fork is carried in with . that course. 4t W ' - . jglill I . the table. Take your napkin from the ble after the hostess has 'V' ,$ . i H M tare- moved hers. Spread the napkin, if large, half unfolded upon the lap. With the smaller size, it is permissible to unfold it completely. Leave the napkin on the lap at the close of the meal until the hostess has placed hers on. the table. At the end of the meal place the napkin loosely beside the plate. If the number being served is small, wait until all at the table are served before beginning to eat. If the group is large or if seated at a long table, one J0- - W ' should start to eat when the serving of those seated immedi-- : ately adjacent is completed. Pass foods, as a general rule, to the right. Offer food with the left hand and with the handle, if there is one, turned toward the person receiving it. Pitchers are received and held in the right hand for serving. If there is any serving silver to be used, place it on the dish at a convenient angle before passing. e : 'fp in able; : Ms. Goode said that each homemaker can use the. same criteria to help her set her tables in a pleasing manner. For breakfast, a luncheon plate is usually preferred for eggs or any other main course. The cereal bowl goes on the luncheon plate. Only at breakfast is it good form to have the cup and saucer on the table at the beginning of the meal,, according to Ms. Goode. For a luncheon, the plate for a first course, if any, is placed on top of the luncheon plate. To serve soup, set the bowl and a dinner plate on top of the luncheon plate and have a soup spoon in place.at the right of the teaspoon. A fork for the first course wotild be placed to the left of the luncheon fork. Salad can be served with the main course on the luncheon plate. ; At a family dinner, if there is no first course,-thnapkin is the at center of usually placed the dinner plate. The salad plate is then set to the left of the forks. The teaspoon in the place setting is used for dessert or a dessert fork is carried in with that course. Ms. Goode said that buffets are especially popular during the upcoming holidays but that care should be given to have the buffet table arranged in a way that ' guests can serve themselves in the easiest way possible. A logical order is to start with the plates, follow with a variety of foods and end with bread or rolls, a drink, and then the kins and silverware. That way, guests will not have to contend with a drink and the utensils rJM .A.. ... . fiM monly accepted table manners that are suggested to make fami- ly and guests feel most comfort- ss : -- . When eating soup, the spoon is dipped away from the person, and the liquid is sipped from the side of the spoon. When eating soft foods as desserts, the spoon is dipped toward the person and the food is eaten from the tip of the spoon. As a rule cut meat from bones with the knife. At informal meals bones of chicken, spare ribs, and similar meats may be picked up after the first few pieces have been eaten.
