Best Salad Etiquette Eating Practices

[@rebekahaustin9913]

Very nice. I love salads, but I'm often self-conscious eating them in restaurants. I'll practice my folding!

[@HeidiDulebohn1]

Hello! Yes, at the highest circles they want us folding lettuce if it’s too big of a piece, and it is not the Romain variety. Sometimes Romain is so huge. You can just go ahead and cut that, but the cutting all goes back to that interesting history of metals, changing the flavor, interacting with a salad dressing. Important thing about etiquette is not to take so seriously, and just be reasonable, a kind, decent person, and the rest of the pieces just fall into place. I know you are the kindest of souls. Wishing you a wonderful week! Heidi. 💕💕💕🥗🍴

Thank you

You're very welcome!! Warm regards, Heidi💕🥗

[@nettierg]

Also was taught when prepping a salad, never cut, always tear. Cutting turns the edges brown. Also, curious if no cutting, how do you eat wedges and complete romaine leaves?

Hello. Very useful video! Could you, please, make a similar one on how to eat fish proprely in a restaurant when it's served whole? Where do I start, how am I supposed to open the fish properly, how do I get rid of grated spine , rhese are only some of the issues I have that keep me from ordering fish in a formal gathering.

Hello Mandi! Thank you so much you are always so kind to me! I love the history behind everything and trust me everything has such interesting and rich history, and it gives us the reason why we do what we do, especially when it comes to etiquette. Thank you so much for the compliment about the scarf, it’s a fun little scarf I got at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, it’s was from the Frank Loyd Wright exhibit.

Thank you for the information! What do you do with a wedge salad?

[@HeidiDulebohn1]

Thank you, Cyndi! Yes, a wedge is a great example of a salad where a knife would make it a lot easier to eat, easily! But, wedge salads came into vogue long after the "rules" were made. In the 1970s the wedge with blue cheese crumbles found its home as a staple in steak houses. Sometimes, you have to be flexible and use a little common sense. I love a good wedge salad, with extra blue cheese crumbles! Great comment, thank you so much, Cyndi! Warmest regards, Heidi

[@pasteldreams8]

Mam., some food items just won't cut with the knife, no matter how much you try, for example, Pineapple pieces. What should be done in such cases? Would really appreciate a reply.

[@HeidiDulebohn1]

Hello! Thank you so much for this terrific comment, and what a great question! You’re right, some foods are very hard to cut, and pineapple slices, because sometimes it’s quite stringy, can be hard to cut with a knife. If you are at a restaurant, and you having trouble cutting, I would ask for a better knife, perhaps even a steak knife would help, but ask for something much sharper than what you have if you’re having trouble cutting the pineapple slice. However, if you are at someone’s home, and you cannot cut the pineapple, I would keep trying, discretely, but, I would not ask the host for a better knife, that could cause offense. Just do the best you can in this situation and if you cannot cut it then just leave it on your plate. Please let me know what you think and how it’s going for you. it really is nice when people cut pineapple into small pieces, next time I serve pineapple I’m going to be very aware of your insightful comment and make sure I cut the pineapple into Chinese bite-size pieces.

How should someone go about eating a micro chopped salad, where piercing the micro chopped salad with your fork picks up too few pieces?

[@thomasp.142]

I use chopsticks for salad.

[@dingleberryridesagain3606]

My grandmother and her sister in law,the Dowager Duchess Thittipool Patarpooon of Putikapoonon always ate salad which mainly consisted of Radish spring onion Tomato Lettuce a raw carrot and a large clove of garlic, the acoustics were something to behold, it always reminded me of a Donkey munching on a turnip or an Orangutan with a digestive disorder declaring his affinity to a bunch of raw banana ,

You are amazing! This is my first time watching your video and I can guarantee you I am going to subscribe❤️ please how us on how to eat a hamburger with fork and knife; I saw that in Europe, but never on the US. Thank you!😘😘😘

[@HeidiDulebohn1]

Hello so much for watching, I’m thrilled you found me! Yes, when you are dining at the highest circles, this is how you would eat salad. A hamburger, though is meant to be finger food, so it is perfectly fine to eat your burger with your hands. However, sometimes lovely gourmet burgers are simply too thick. There’s just too much with the bun etc. to fit into your mouth in a bite. So it’s easy to use your knife and fork. If you’re watching carbs, the way I do, leave off the top bun, and use your knife and fork to eat the rest of it -like an open face sandwich. Just start cutting piece by piece and you will be as proper as the day is long! But remember a good hamburger is meant to be eaten with your hands, so have a little fun with it. I’d be so happy if you would kindly subscribe to my channel and please watch some of my other videos, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Warm regards, Heidi.💕🍔🍴

What credentials and bonafides does one have to be an Ettiquette Expert?

[@HeidiDulebohn1]

Hello! Thank you for watching and asking. Such a terrific question! My answer would be, you could be considered an expert if you spent a lifetime reading Traveling, and experiencing and being trained by known experts in the field. I have spent my lifetime doing exactly that. In addition, I am a graduate of the London Academy of protocol and etiquette, and I hold a masters degree from a European university in protocol, soft diplomacy, and cross-cultural competence. I have executors certificates from Northwestern University, and the Kennedy school at Harvard. I think that combining formal education with a lifetime of experience can make you an expert. However, learning is never finished, you can always keep growing. I want to keep improving and learning, so I am always traveling to experience new cultures. I’m constantly reading to enhance my knowledge, and combined it with the history, the roots of the rules and guidelines and etiquette. .The history and the “why” in etiquette is fascinating! I’m headed to Japan next week to immerse myself in the culture and learn more than I already know about Japanese etiquette. Thank you for asking about this, and I’d be very grateful if you would kindly subscribe to my channel sending best wishes for a lovely day! Warm regards, Heidi💕🌎📚🍽️

However, for your every day, it’s fine to cut the lettuce. It’s fun to know what the rules are at the highest levels, but also knowing how to be reasonable with them. The bottom line is, etiquette is really about being a kind and caring person and treating others with respect. Let the let us holding begin! Lol.

So. Don't cut lettuce with a knife; fold lettuce with a knife. Lettuce (ph 6) will blacken your knife while tomato (ph 4) won't. I have a better idea. Send your salad back. If it's the kind of place where cutting lettuce matters it should come from the kitchen ready to eat. I'm down with most points of etiquette but neither logic nor flavor support this.
