We usually put our cutlery on plate and desk when we enjoy our meal, which makes our hands or other exposed parts become dirty. Etiquette is used to encourage good table manners. It has four grooves located on the edge of plate. Two can stop the cutlery during the meal, while the other two are used to place the cutlery, which means the meal is over. These two sets of grooves have different usage when we use cutlery, which plays a important role in dining etiquette.
