It is acceptable to refuse additional servings of food by saying "No, thank you"
and the host or hostess will not be insulted if you do so. Similarly, if you leave a small
amount of uneaten food on your plate at a restaurant or in a home, it is not considered an
insult. If you eat everything on the plate, a host or hostess may possibly feel that they
have not prepared enough food and might be embarrassed. People in the United States
serve and eat food with either hand, but never take food from a communal serving dish
with their hands. Generally, a serving utensil is used.
Americans typically use forks, spoons and knives to eat, but there are some types of
foods that

are acceptable to eat with one's fingers, like sandwiches or pizza. When in

doubt, look to see what others are doing. In formal dining situations, if you wonder
whether or not it is acceptable to begin eating, you should wait until the oldest woman (or
oldest man if no women are present) begins to eat. When eating, do not pick up the bowl
or plate from the table to hold underneath your mouth, Even noodles, soup, and rice are
eaten with the plate or bowl remaining on the table. When consuming soup and hot liquids,
it is considered impolite to slurp - do not do this. When consuming noodles, twirl them
around your fork and then put it in your mouth.
If you are a man taking out a woman for dinner, you are almost always expected to
pay. This is for the woman to gauge your intentions and interest with her. For example,
taking a woman for coffee, versus tacos, versus a fancy dinner, versus for drinks at
11:30pm, all signal many different things to them. So, the date is a -test- of many. Paying
is just as important as where you take her, and how late. So, don't assume she is just trying
to get a "free meal". Most girls aren't. Also, if you are going out with a friend to eat,
almost always, the bill is expected to be split in half, or each person pays for themselves.
If you are eating in a restaurant, you will be expected to add a 15 to 20 % tip for the
server to


your bill. In America, wait staff might occasionally stop by your table to ask

how your meal is, which is considered good service. They will also bring you your check
when it seems reasonable that you are finished with your meal, however this is not

necessarily an indication that you must leave right away (Do not be too embarrassed to ask
for the check either waiters and waitresses cannot read minds.) Take your time to finish
your meal, and unless there is a line of people waiting at the door, it is not considered
rude to linger at your table for as long as you like.
