The role of napkins

Uses of napkins:

In the dinner, the main function of the napkin is as follows.

First, it is used to keep clothes clean. The main purpose of laying the napkin on the thigh is to protect the clothes. It is inevitable to drop the dishes and drip the soup when eating. Use the napkin correctly to prevent it from staining your clothes.

Second, it is used to wipe the mouth. Before talking to someone during a meal, you should dab your mouth with a napkin, but don't smear it. Before a lady eats, she can also pat her mouth lightly with a napkin to remove the lipstick. When wiping the mouth with a napkin, its part should be roughly fixed, and it is best to only use its inner side. Usually, napkins should not be used to wipe sweat, face, and hands should be avoided as much as possible.

Special attention should be paid not to wipe the tableware with a napkin, which may be tantamount to implying that the tableware is unclean to the host and asking him to change another set.

Third, it is used to hide one's shame. When eating, try not to pick your teeth in public, and don't spit things out. If you have to do it, you should pick up the napkin with your left hand to block your mouth, and then pick your teeth with your right hand, or catch the "exit" with your right hand and move it to the front of the plate. If these processes are not covered up, it is quite a faux pas.
