They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in ones right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.vThe system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可滑稽可笑笑), but it is considered good manners.vThere are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans dont use one, because obviously this greatly complicates(使复杂化使复杂化) things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon(熏猪肉熏猪肉) with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具器具) is being used, food has to be chased around the plate with the fork and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.vThird, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remember to save it for the meat course. Even desserts(甜食甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).Some Breakfast Dishes 早餐食谱vBreakfast in a restaurant is a very enjoyable experience. If you order eggs in a restaurant, the waiter/waitress will ask you how you want them . You can reply that you want them scrambled(炒) or boiled. It is not sufficient, however, to ask for them fried; you will have to specify whether you would prefer them sunny-side-up (煎一面), over(两面煎), over-easy/easy-over(两面煎，但蛋黄仍然呈流体状). American sausage(香肠) comes in slices and is quite spicy. But you can also have link sausage.American bacon comes in small strips, can be rather fat, and is served crispy. It is usually very tasty, and you can eat it with your fingers.Hash brows(油炸土豆片) are shredded(切成碎片的) and fried potatoes. They are wonderful, especially with fried eggs and ketchup(蕃茄酱). 美国人在日常生活中讲究实际，他们没有欧洲人的那种繁文缛节。美国人在日常生活中讲究实际，他们没有欧洲人的那种繁文缛节。 来的客人多美国人一般都以家庭式自助餐形式招待客人。吃自助来的客人多美国人一般都以家庭式自助餐形式招待客人。吃自助餐也一定的顺序：先冷盘，再熟食，最后是甜点、水果。爱吃什么你餐也一定的顺序：先冷盘，再熟食，最后是甜点、水果。爱吃什么你就尽管在大盘内取什么，不必拘泥，吃饱为止。但不要浪费。就尽管在大盘内取什么，不必拘泥，吃饱为止。但不要浪费。 开席前，主人会宣布举行祷告仪式。此时不要有丝毫的犹豫，开席前，主人会宣布举行祷告仪式。此时不要有丝毫的犹豫，要跟着主人一起祷告，口中念念有词要跟着主人一起祷告，口中念念有词这是尊重他们的宗教信仰。这是尊重他们的宗教信仰。上餐桌时可以随意放松，不必像法国人、英国人那样左叉右刀，绅士上餐桌时可以随意放松，不必像法国人、英国人那样左叉右刀，绅士似的慢条斯理，一块猪排或一块牛排翻来覆去地切割。你甚至可以用似的慢条斯理，一块猪排或一块牛排翻来覆去地切割。你甚至可以用手直接撕鸡腿，面包用手撕成小块吃。主人绝对不会说你吃相难看，手直接撕鸡腿，面包用手撕成小块吃。主人绝对不会说你吃相难看，不懂规矩。但女士们切勿在饭桌上照镜子补妆；男士们不要在饭桌上不懂规矩。但女士们切勿在饭桌上照镜子补妆；男士们不要在饭桌上吸烟，这有失雅观和礼貌。吸烟，这有失雅观和礼貌。 餐毕离席，把刀叉匙羹放入盘中，不必向在座的每个人招呼，只餐毕离席，把刀叉匙羹放入盘中，不必向在座的每个人招呼，只需欠欠身、点点头，就不失礼貌。需欠欠身、点点头，就不失礼貌。 饭后你想喝杯咖啡之类热饮料，可以直接向主人提出。主人马上会给饭后你想喝杯咖啡之类热饮料，可以直接向主人提出。主人马上会给你送一杯香喷喷的咖啡或一杯浓茶，说声你送一杯香喷喷的咖啡或一杯浓茶，说声“谢谢（谢谢（Thankyou）”就就行。行。美国人用餐的戒条主要有以下六条：v其一、不允许进餐时发出声响。其一、不允许进餐时发出声响。v其二、不允许替他人取菜。其二、不允许替他人取菜。v其三、不允许吸烟。其三、不允许吸烟。v其四、不允许向别人劝酒。其四、不允许向别人劝酒。v其五、不允许当众脱衣解带。其五、不允许当众脱衣解带。v其六、不允许议论令人作呕之事。其六、不允许议论令人作呕之事。美国饮食文化图片欣赏
