Chew with Your Mouth Closed

One of the most important table manners is chewing with your mouth closed. Nobody wants to see chewed-up food! Take small bites so you can chew easily. Do not talk while you are chewing — wait until you swallow first. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, hold up one finger to say 'one moment' while you finish.
