place settings
A place setting is the arrangement of utensils, dishes, and glassware for one person at a dining table. It typically includes a plate, fork, knife, spoon, and a glass for beverages. The arrangement can vary based on the type of meal, such as formal or casual dining, and cultural traditions.
In a formal setting, additional items like salad plates, bread plates, and multiple glasses may be included. The placement of each item follows specific guidelines, such as placing the fork to the left of the plate and the knife to the right. Proper place settings enhance the dining experience and reflect etiquette.
