A polite way of removing food from your mouth!

There is a polite way of removing food from your mouth. The general rule for removing food from your mouth is that it should go out the same way it went in. Everyone has accidentally bitten into an olive pit or another type of hard food. According to the experts at Emily Post Institute, the best way out of this situation is to gently place the piece of bone or food onto whatever utensil you used to eat it in the first place, be it a fork or your fingers. The secret is being discreet: quickly remove

the morsel and place it discreetly on the side of your plate.

Olive pits can be delicately dropped onto an open palm before putting them onto your plate, and a piece of bone discovered in a bite of chicken should be returned to the plate by way of the fork. Fish is an exception to the rule. It is fine to remove the tiny bones with your fingers, since they would be difficult to drop from your mouth onto the fork. If you need to spit out a fatty piece of meat, spit it into your napkin, so that you can keep it out of sight.

Remember to be polite to those around you, you only get one chance to make a good first impression.
