Table Ethics....

      We were able to do many activities through the PPD course module. Actually we got many experiences from those sessions. In this time Madam Sarasi Planned to go to Sri Lanka Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management for giving us another experience. We went there to learn Table Ethics. That is really important for our lives as the software engineering undergraduates because we have to face to the business world and the society in the future. So we have to practice before going to the society. Therefore we should learn about table ethics as a part of our qualifications. 

      

      Unfortunately I was unable to participate in that valuable event. So I collected more information from my colleagues. They had enjoyed that session well. As their memories there were two sessions that are organized by the team. 

First session

In this session there was a good explanation about the table ethics and some important social ethics.They had explained about how to wear properly for a special function, how to behave in such a place, how to match our suits properly, how these ethics can be differ from each culture and etc. That lecture was delivered by Mr.Dickson. Mainly he focused on the table ethics. Following are the major points he focused.

• How to use cutlery properly 
• How to behave properly while we are getting the meal

Second session

After doing theory parts they moved into a practical session on how to use those theories practically. They had arranged many delicious foods for us. Some of them as follows;

• Avocado juice with ice cream which is mounted on top as an appetizer.

• Bread with garlic butter

• Soup with beacon

• Roasted chicken with potato chips

• Coffee gateau 

After that hotel school session we got following good points for our lives

• We learned how to use different cutlery items for different kinds of foods
• How to behave in a place like we stayed for the session
• How to dress well according to the occasion..... and etc

Actually we are very thankful to Madam Sarasi for organizing such a event like this.
