third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. there is no need for foreign visitors to follow the american system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remerber to save it for the meat course. even desserts(甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).

some breakfast dishes 早餐食谱

breakfast in a restaurant is a very enjoyable experience. if you order eggs in a restaurant, the waiter/waitress will ask you how you want them . you can reply that you want them "scrambled(炒)" or "boiled". it is not sufficient, however, to ask for them "fried"; you will have to specify whether you would prefer them "sunny-side-up" (煎一面), "over"(两面煎), "over-easy/easy-over"(两面煎，但蛋黄仍然呈流体状).

american sausage(香肠) comes in slices and is quite spicy. but you can also have link sausage.

american bacon comes in small strips, can be rather fat, and is served crispy. it is usually very tasty, and you can eat it with your fingers.

"hash brows"(油炸土豆片) are shredded(切成碎片的) and fried potatoes. they are wonderful, especially with fried eggs and ketchup(蕃茄酱).
