Eat slowly and gently. It is easy to make slurping noises when eating with a spoon. To minimize noise when eating, eat very slowly. Make sure to open your mouth wide enough to get food in without having to resort to slurping.
While eating with a spoon, you should not make slurping noises while sipping and always ensure that you sip from the side of the spoon rather than the tip of it. Also, it is considered bad etiquette to hold the spoon in your fist or to point towards people using a spoon.
The reason lips are used, is because it's much easier to make a clean swipe of the food morsel from the spoon into your mouth. The duty of your teeth to chew and break down the food comes later.
It is also rude to slurp food, eat noisily or make noise with cutlery. Elbows should remain off the table.
PROPER JAW POSTURE
The teeth should not touch ever – except when swallowing. This comes as a big surprise to most people. When not chewing or swallowing, the tip of the tongue should rest gently on the tip and back of the lower incisors.
Use the fork with the tines facing down.
Hold the handle between your thumb and your middle, ring, and pinky fingers. Place your index finger at the end of the handle where it meets the base of the fork tines. Let the end of the handle rest in the crease of your palm.
We usually hold forks and spoons with the wrong hand. For example, the knife is held in the left hand and the fork in the right hand in European culture. Moreover, the edge of the knife should be facing your plate. In the same way, keep the fork-spoon from the front.
In this position, the big spoon lies on their side, and the little spoon should then curl into a fetal position facing the stomach of the big spoon. The big spoon should then hug the little or Baby Spoon with both arms. Do the Spoons in a Drawer.
Spooning and cuddling both describe types of physical touch. You can cuddle and not spoon, but spooning is a specific type of cuddling. Spooning can be platonic, but it can also be used before, during, or after sex. Couples may use it as foreplay before sex, or spoon after sexual activity.
Here are the steps: Dip spoon 1 in guacamole, hummus, applesauce, mashed sweet potato or puree and hand to baby. Repeat with spoon 2. Instead of taking spoon from baby's hands, introduce a third loaded spoon.
The rule to using the proper utensil is to work from the outside in. The salad fork is farthest from your plate and used first followed by the dinner fork and dessert fork, respectively. The right side of your plate is where your soup spoon, teaspoon and dinner knife is placed.
The knife should be in the right hand and the fork in the left. However, if a knife is not needed – such as when eating pasta – the fork can be held in the right hand. Bread is always served and can be placed on the table cloth itself. It is considered unacceptable to use one's fingers to taste the food.
Cutlery placement

Traditionally, you should leave a bite on your plate to convey that you enjoyed the meal and were served enough to be satisfied. Today, diners (and especially children) shouldn't be excepted to join the #CleanPlateClub or feel bad if they finish their meal. Instead, just eat until you're full.

While clenching your teeth together, the top and bottom front teeth should overlap slightly. The Side: At the side, your teeth should lock easily in together like cogs in a wheel. The top teeth should sit just on the outside of the bottom teeth, so they fit snugly together.
-Do not push your plate away when you are finished, it is considered rude. -If you drop a utensil, ask a waiter immediately to bring you a replacement (they will pick up the dropped utensil, not you). -If a waiter tries to remove your plate before you are finished, feel free to simply say “I'm not finished yet!”.
In silence, your brain is able to pay attention to the flavors that your taste buds are coming in contact with, so you may experience flavors more intensely than if you were to eat the same dish while talking to a friend or in a loud room.
