The order of dishes in the West
Dinner start with a small dish, which is often called an a starter .After the starter you will get a bowl of soup.The next dish is the main course,it usually is a beefsteak . A vegetable salad will be served.Then a delicious dessert will appear at the table .At last is a cup of tea or coffee.
HELPING YOURSELF AND REFUSING
If a servant passes food around, he will pass the dish in at your left hand so that you can conveniently serve yourself with your right hand. Never serve yourself while the dish is on your right; it is then the turn of your neighbor on the right. It is polite to take some of everything that is passed to you. But if there is something you may not like, you may quietly say: "No thank you.“
