A place setting is the arrangement of dishes, utensils, and glassware for one person at a dining table. It typically includes a plate, fork, knife, spoon, and a glass for drinks. The way these items are organized can vary depending on the meal being served, such as a casual breakfast or a formal dinner. In a formal setting, you might also find additional items like a salad fork or dessert spoon. Each piece has a specific place, often following the rule of “outside in,” where you use the outermost utensils first. A well-arranged place setting enhances the dining experience and shows attention to detail.
