In Holland, it is polite to eat your bread in what way?

The most common toast is proost. Maintain eye contact throughout the entire toast. If many people are being toasted, go around the table with your eyes, making contact with each individual as you make the toast.

The knife remains in the right hand, and the fork remains in the left. When the meal is finished, the knife and fork are laid parallel to each other across the right side of the plate, tips pointing to the ten o’clock position; the knife should be above the fork, with the blade side pointing in toward the plate.

The fork and spoon above your plate are usually for dessert. Always start from the outside and work your way in, course by course. There will be separate glasses provided at your setting for water and white and red wine (after-dinner drink glasses come out after dinner).

Your hands are expected to be visible above the table. The only food eaten with the hands is bread or sandwiches.
