A Traditional Setting

How to set a formal table.

When sitting down to a multicourse dinner, keep one rule in mind: Start with the outside utensils and work your way in. Also, when in Rome it may be proper to hold your fork in your left hand for cutting and eating, but here it is perfectly acceptable to switch the fork to the right hand for eating.

Roll your mouse over the table setting to identify each utensil and its function.
