There's plenty more techniques that this fun video will teach! You'll learn the proper way to eat bread with your French onion soup, the Asian stir-fry dish you surprisingly don't eat chopsticks with and the reason you should never pour your milk first when drinking tea. As an added bonus, the video throws in some interesting facts about table etiquette!
