but not both,

ืื‘ืœ ืœื ื‘ืฉื ื™ื”ื,

ื”ืชื—ื™ืœื• ืขื ื›ืœื™ื ืœืžื ื” ื”ืขื™ืงืจื™ืช,

24
59427

ื•ื”ืกื›ื™ืŸ ืžืฆื“ ื™ืžื™ืŸ

Here's a helpful tip:
26
63878
1233
ื”ื ื” ื˜ื™ืค ืžื•ืขื™ืœ:
01:05
You always eat outside-in,
27
65135
1653
ืืชื ืชืžื™ื“ ืื•ื›ืœื™ื ืžื‘ื—ื•ืฅ ืคื ื™ืžื”,
01:06
so to set for salad,
28
66812
1306
ืื– ื›ื“ื™ ืœืกื“ืจ ืœืกืœื˜,
01:08
we'll put the salad fork
29
68142
1177
ื ืฉื™ื ืืช ืžื–ืœื’ ื”ืกืœื˜
01:09
to the outside of the dinner fork
30
69343
1689
ืžื—ื•ืฅ ืœืžื–ืœื’ ื”ืืจื•ื—ื”
01:11
and the salad knife to the outside of the dinner knife.
31
71056
3150
ื•ืกื›ื™ืŸ ื”ืกืœื˜ ืžื—ื•ืฅ ืœืกื›ื™ืŸ ื”ืืจื•ื—ื”.
01:14
We'll have salad first,
32
74230
1101
ื ืื›ืœ ืกืœื˜ ืจืืฉื™ืช,
01:15
then our main course.
33
75355
1561
ืื– ืืช ื”ืžื ื” ื”ืขื™ืงืจื™ืช.
01:16
Notice, too, that the knife blades
34
76940
1855
ืฉื™ืžื• ืœื‘, ื’ื, ืฉืœื”ื‘ื™ ื”ืกื›ื™ืŸ
01:18
are both pointed toward the plate.
35
78819
1934
ืžื•ืคื ื™ื ื›ืœืคื™ ื”ืฆืœื—ืช.
01:20
This is an old tradition
36
80777
1310
ื–ื• ืžืกื•ืจืช ืขืชื™ืงื”
01:22
from a time when dinner knives were quite sharp,
37
82111
2492
ืžื”ื–ืžืŸ ื‘ื• ืกื›ื™ื ื™ ืื•ื›ืœ ื”ื™ื• ื“ื™ ื—ื“ื™ื,
01:24
and it was a sign of politeness and nonaggression
38
84627
2515
ื•ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืกื™ืžืŸ ืœื ื™ืžื•ืก ื•ืœื—ื•ืกืจ ืื’ืจืกื™ื”
01:27
to keep them pointed away from other diners.
39

ืœืฉืžื•ืจ ืขืœื™ื”ื ืžื•ืคื ื™ื ื”ืจื—ืง ืžื”ืกื•ืขื“ื™ื ื”ืื—ืจื™ื.
01:30
We might have some soup,
40
90624
1271
ืื•ืœื™ ื ืื›ืœ ืžืจืง,
01:31
and since soup usually comes first,
41
91919
1851
ื•ืžืื—ืจ ื•ืžืชื—ื™ืœื™ื ื‘ืžืจืง
01:33
the soup spoon goes outside the knives
42
93794
2271
ื›ืฃ ื”ืžืจืง ื ืžืฆืืช ืžื—ื•ืฅ ืœืกื›ื™ื ื™ื,
01:36
since we use our right hand to hold it.
43
96089
2269
ื›ื™ ืื ื—ื ื• ืžืฉืชืžืฉื™ื ื‘ื™ื“ ื™ืžื™ืŸ ื›ื“ื™ ืœืื—ื•ื– ืื•ืชื”.
01:38
Here's another tip:
44
98382
1394
ื”ื ื” ืขื•ื“ ื˜ื™ืค:
01:39
Only set the table with what you'll need.
45
99800
2145
ืกื“ืจื• ืืช ื”ืฉื•ืœื—ืŸ ืจืง ืขื ืžื” ืฉืืชื ืฆืจื™ื›ื™ื.
01:41
If you're not eating soup,
46
101969
1064
ืื ืืชื ืœื ืื•ื›ืœื™ื ืžืจืง,
01:43
don't set a soup spoon.
47
103057
1583
ืืœ ืชืฉื™ืžื• ื›ืฃ ืœืžืจืง.
01:44
Now, for dessert, we'll have ice cream
48
104664
1994
ืขื›ืฉื™ื•, ืœืงื™ื ื•ื—, ื ืื›ืœ ื’ืœื™ื“ื”
01:46
so we'll place the dessert up top
49
106682
1572
ืื– ื ืฉื™ื ืืช ื”ืงื™ื ื•ื— ืœืžืขืœื”
01:48
since we don't need it for a little while.
50
108278
2217
ืžืื—ืจ ื•ืื ื—ื ื• ืœื ืฆืจื™ื›ื™ื ืื•ืชื• ื‘ื™ื ืชื™ื™ื.
01:50
Notice that the bowl of the spool
51
110519
1572
ืฉื™ืžื• ืœื‘ ืฉื”ืงื•ืขืจ ืฉืœ ื”ื›ืคื™ืช
01:52
is pointing to the left.
52
112115
1634
ืžื•ืคื ื” ืœืฉืžืืœ.
01:53
This way, when it's time to eat,
53
113773
1143
ื›ืš, ื›ืฉืžื’ื™ืข ื”ื–ืžืŸ ืœืื›ื•ืœ,
01:54
you just slide it down
54
114940
1251
ืืชื ืคืฉื•ื˜ ืžื—ืœื™ืงื™ื ืื•ืชื” ืœืžื˜ื”
01:56
and it's in the right spot.
55
116215
1921
ื•ื–ื” ื‘ืžืงื•ื ื”ื ื›ื•ืŸ.
01:58
If you were having cake,
56
118160
957
ืื ืื›ืœืชื ืขื•ื’ื”,
01:59
you'd set a fork and flip it 180 degrees
57
119141
2813
ื”ื™ื™ืชื ืฉืžื™ื ืžื–ืœื’ ื•ื”ื•ืคื›ื™ื ืื•ืชื• ื‘ 180 ืžืขืœื•ืช
02:01
so it would be right side-up on the left instead.
58
121978
3117
ื›ืš ืฉื”ื•ื ื™ื”ื™ื” ื”ืคื•ืš ืžืฉืžืืœ ื‘ืžืงื•ื.
02:05
Next we'll anchor our setting with the plate.
59
125119
2624
ืœืื—ืจ ืžื›ืŸ ื ืขื’ืŸ ืืช ื”ืกื™ื“ื•ืจ ืฉืœื ื• ืขื ื”ืฆืœื—ืช.
02:07
You can also serve from the kitchen
60
127767
1952
ืืชื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ื’ื ืœื”ื’ื™ืฉ ืžื”ืžื˜ื‘ื—
02:09
then bring them to the table.
61
129743
2046
ื•ืื– ืœื”ื‘ื™ื ืื•ืชืŸ ืœืฉื•ืœื—ืŸ.
02:11
The bread plate goes up and to the left of the setting,
62
131813
2659
ืฆืœื—ืช ื”ืœื—ื ื ืžืฆืืช ืœืžืขืœื” ื•ืžืฉืžืืœ ืœืกื™ื“ื•ืจ,
02:14
and the butter knife goes on the plate at an angle,
63
134496
2429
ื•ืกื›ื™ืŸ ื”ื—ืžืื” ืขืœ ื”ืฆืœื—ืช ื‘ื–ื•ื•ื™ืช,
02:16
again, with the blade pointing in.
64
136949
2371
ืฉื•ื‘, ืขื ื”ืœื”ื‘ ืžืฆื‘ื™ืข ืคื ื™ืžื”.
02:19
There's only one spot left,
65
139344
1634
ืจืง ืขื•ื“ ื ืงื•ื“ื” ืื—ืช ื ืฉืืจื”,
02:21
and that's for the drinks.
66
141002
1881
ื•ื–ื” ืœืžืฉืงืื•ืช.
02:22
Set the wine glass to the upper right,
67
142907
1959
ืฉื™ืžื• ืืช ื›ื•ืก ื”ื™ื™ืŸ ืžื™ืžื™ืŸ ืœืžืขืœื”,
02:24
and then place the water glass to the left of it at an angle.
68
144890
3721
ื•ืื– ืฉื™ืžื• ืืช ื›ื•ืก ื”ืžื™ื ืžืฉืžืืœื” ื•ื‘ื–ื•ื™ืช.
02:28
If you're like me
69
148635
1019
ืื ืืชื ื›ืžื•ื ื™
02:29
and can never remember which goes where,
70

ื•ืืฃ ืคืขื ืœื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœื–ื›ื•ืจ ืžื” ื”ื•ืœืš ืœืืŸ,
02:31
think water, wine,
71
151764
1353
ื—ื™ืฉื‘ื• ืžื™ื, ื™ื™ืŸ,
02:33
w-a, w-i;
72
153141
1524
ื™, ืž
02:34
a, i;
73
154689

ื™. ืž
02:35
they go left to right in alphabetical order.

ืžื™ืžื™ืŸ ืœืฉืžืืœ ื‘ืกื“ืจ ื”ืืœืฃ ื‘ื™ืช.
02:39
Another tip:
75
159023

02:39
To remember left and right with the bread and the drinks,
76
159980
2730
ืขื•ื“ ื˜ื™ืค:

162734
2294
ื—ืฉื‘ื• ืฉ-ื-ืœ ื›ืžื• ื”ืžื™ืœื”.
02:45
B, your bread plate, is on the left;
78
165052
2291
ืœ, ืฆืœื—ืช ื”ืœื—ื, ืžืฉืžืืœ;
02:47
M, your meal, is in the middle,

1765
ื, ื”ืืจื•ื—ื” ืฉืœื›ื, ื‘ืžืจื›ื–,

3039
ื• ืฉ, ื”ืฉืชื™ื” ืฉืœื›ื, ืžื™ืžื™ืŸ.
02:52
Lastly, the napkin traditionally goes to the left of the forks,

ืœืืจื•ื—ื” ืžืคื•ืืจืช ื›ืžื• ื–ื•

ืฉืชื•ืคืกืช ื”ืจื‘ื” ืžืงื•ื,
