Which way to pass the food during your next business lunch
Filed Under Etiquette, Relationships & Networking
If you have ever been at a business lunch or diner with a large group of people, you have likely encountered the dilemma of ‘which way to pass the food?’ Therefore I thought I would share some tips for How to pass food at the diner table by EmilyPost.com…
“Technically, food is passed around the table in a counterclockwise direction, or to the right. The reason there’s even a guideline for this is to provide some sense of order when passing food. Common sense comes into play, too. If someone only a few places away from you on your left asks for something to be passed, by all means just pass it to the left instead of sending it all the way around to the right. In general, what’s important is that when several dishes are being passed at the same time, they all go in the same direction.”
