dining customs in the USA
感谢大耳朵网友“唐涛”提供 ！
Americans like many people elsewhere in the world like to invite friends to their homes for an evening of food,drink and conversation.Formal dinners in fine homes and hotals in US are much the same as formal dinners

anywhere in

the world.But as most people in the USA have no servants,their dinner parties at home trend to be informal.Guests may sit down

at a table,or as many new small homes have no seperate dining room or very small dining space .

Guests can also sever themselves and eat it in the living room

holding the place or trays or menus.and more enjoyable entertainment is the picnic .Americans are great picnics.and almost every family has a picnic basket.some invitations are often for a picnic at a park or in

the open countryside,and less hamburgers,hot dogs are cooked

over a fire.Picnic food is usually cold.
