How to follow finger food etiquette
It has become common to serve juices and appetizers in parties and weddings.A variety of veg and non-veg items are brought in trays to be served.It will be embarrassing if you do not know how to handle the finger foods in proper manner and drip the dip down your fingers and on to your dress.
Steps
Pick finger foods that can be eaten in one bite to avoid messy sauce on fingers and mouth.
If there is no tooth pick, pickup your appetizer with thumb and index finger and put it on your paper napkin.
Spread out the other three fingers while holding the finger food in two finger.
If you are dipping your finger food into sauce or dip do it lightly so that it does not drip and put it immediately into your mouth.
If you have picked up a large chunk, put it on your napkin and take smaller bites or break it into small pieces and eat.
Spread a separate napkin in your lap to avoid crumbs messing up your clothes.
Caution
- Stay away from saucy wings and other large pieces with sugar or masala sprinkled on them
- Do not use the napkin you have held the appetizer in to wipe of crumbs from your clothes – it will be messy. Use a fresh napkin.
- Don’t dip the appetizer into the dip or sauce again after taking a bite.
- Do not talk and eat as food particles can fall on the other person.
- Do not throw the napkins or juice glasses on the floor. Wait for trash collectors to come to you and hand over.
