To begin with, you should not take anything from the table that you will not consume fully. It is not good when you assume you are the only one hungry among the invited guests. Although this is tricky on self-service parties, it is good to have some manners and behave in a mature way. If you take chunks of food you cannot finish, it will be total waste especially to the hosting party.

It is not good when you use one of them and leave the other. You need to know they are used and for what purpose. This will give you easy time when feasting with seniors and other guests.

During the feasting session, you should avoid using making calls using your phone. In any case, it is not even acceptable to receive calls when eating. In case the call is urgent, you should apologize before answering it. Then leave the table and answer or make the call outside the room. You should not place your phone on the table and if anything, you should not be having it at the feasting table.

It is advisable to use napkins to remove food particles from your fingers. It would be wrong for you lick your fingers simply because the meal was tasty. It would give bad notion about you and even shame and disgrace the person who invited you.
