16:17 @jamilaMusayeva am I correct about your question? 😍 Petit fours are small sponge cakesand decorated with fondant icing. To protect the fingers from a sticky frosting, and presented in paper wrappers. The pastry and wrapper are removed together from the tray and placed on a plate. Large petits fours of more than a few bites are eaten with a fork. Small petits fours of two bites or less are eaten with the fingers.
I’m from Spain, and when I was a kid, I went to a private school where they taught us table manners during meal times. Every day, we had to eat properly. They even taught us how to peel fruit with a fork and knife. I’m very grateful for these teachings because now I can go anywhere and have good manners.
@saramg6973: I think you as so fortunate! I went to a school in a small northern farming town, but was fortunate enough to have had ONE teacher that saw to it we were exposed to the importance of navigating a formal table. It was a seed that was planted, and I nurtured it by reading good etiquette books and watching videos in my college years. I'm 65 now and am so grateful. That training has been so amazingly valuable as a young businesswoman all the way to my senior years. Ignore the comments from the stupid people here. They've most likely never set foot into anything other than Burger King.
I love how everyone in the comments is shredding Kylie to pieces like they are all English tea experts. I am not English and don’t do afternoon teas, I don’t know most of these etiquettes and I’m glad someone here in UA-cam is teaching these stuff. Let’s normalize learning.
Some of these things were actually very basic information, like not wearing a bandeau top to a afternoon tea, holding the shampagne glass by the handle, not sniffing your food in public, not touching hair after touching food etc. So yeah it may be a bit shocking to learn that a billionaire does not know basic table manners.
afternoon tea is popular in many countries, not just the UK, and therefore, many people know the proper etiquette. we * should * re-normalize life-long learning, but at the same time, we should stop weaponizing incompetence - it serves no one
There's nothing objectively wrong with either version of the way they ate but if you put either one at a table of the others' peers, they would stick out like an awkward sore thumb. Etiquette is completely subjective and cultural, there's no right and wrong.
@@Natalie-bf6yl there's nothing subjective about etiquette; it's like saying driving rules are subjective to each country - they're not, and that's precisely allowed to drive in other countries even though you didn't obtain your driving license in that country
I doubt Kylie is planning on needing this information, lmfao. She did a video on English afternoon tea because she was on the cover of British Vogue and vogue does a series with tea time… When would she actually use this in her real life? She herself said she never has tea except in the past while playing tea time with her toddler … 😂 Let’s just collect useless vapid information so u can look down on people who are more successful than you ?
@@sophritoh sniffing your food does look indecent, and let's be real, you might be at the risk of hurting someone beside you fiddling around with cutlery in your hand. And nobody likes warm champagne.
I’m so happy I found this channel, I went to finishing school and etiquette camp as a kid….at the time I hated it, but now I’m in my 30s and I can honestly say it became one of the most impactful things to have learn in my life. Dates, business dinners, alumni events, country club, fine dining, charity events, meeting the parents of GF, art exhibitions….etc, there is no point in my life where proper etiquette wasn’t needed or appreciated. I’ve certainly, socially excelled higher because of my knowledge of proper speaking, manners and etiquette. Thank you Jamila for continuing these teachings….and it’s free! Whaaat? My parents paid tons for camp and school….geech, What a lucky generation!
It’s disappointing to see these comments. Ceremonial etiquette is a nice-to-have, but not necessary and is in no way an indication of a person’s character. The comments here are ridiculous, esp because most of them are coming from instantly enlightened high tea experts. You may know a bit of tea etiquette, but your social etiquette is lacking.
There are some indications of character in your manners. I’m sorry to say you’re incorrect in your estimation on how conduct is not a show of character. Our behavior is a clear indication of our character, upbringing, education, consideration, and eventually reputation.
I was thinking the exact same thing! It must be because they don’t surround themselves by classy people?, so probably nobody has ever mentioned it to them. Let’s be honest, the kardashians are anything but classy lol. Still, if I was magically rich tomorrow, I would get a coach to teach me how to behave in luxurious settings, just so people don’t look down on me 🤣
your whole body language, and energy that you bring, even the way that you speak speak elegance and poise. How can I fall in love watching someone pouring a tea
What are you talking about she's just admiring someone Jeez people can't even compliment each other these days what a state of our society @@thehuntressdanni2972
As a French person, I loved this video. We are taught all these rules from a young age. You will generally not find these mistakes in France. By the way, the plural is petits fours (s on both words ).
Thank you for upholding these classic customs and etiquette. I love that you approach it in a straight forward and honest way with class. xo from Toronto
No idea why I decided to watch this video and watch it until the end, but I actually enjoyed it and learned a few things. Will, I be in a situation to use these skills any time soon?- most likely not, but I enjoyed it just the same. You're very pleasant to watch and listen to.
It's a meditation to watch you teach. So clear, concise and with such ease ❤ You have camera talent for sure. Vogue is definitely in the cards for you 💯✨️
I grew up with etiquette training and it was important in our upbringing, friends and my partner have no clue about it and don’t believe it’s important or even truth. I’m so glad to see I’m not alone in how to eat and drink. Wonderful video.❤
Petit four - Petit fours are small sponge cakes baked in a slow oven and decorated with fondant icing. A very all fancy cake, biscuit, or sweet, typically made with marzipan and served after a meal. How do we eat them correctly? Answer - To protect the fingers from a sticky frosting, petits fours are presented in paper wrappers. The pastry and wrapper are removed together from the tray and placed on a plate. Large petits fours of more than a few bites are eaten with a fork. Small petits fours of two bites or less are eaten with the fingers.
It's a delight to watch you enjoying the afternoon tea so elegantly. The petit four usually come in a paper wrapper. You take one from the etagère with your hand and place it on your plate. Than eat it in two bites as it is a small pastry. Should you be served a larger petit four it comes with a small fork you can use. The phrase translate to little oven coming from the custom of backing the pastries in the rest warmth of the oven after the main dish was baked. Elegance and manners make life so much nicer, so thank you for your content. 😊
1:30 you wouldn't normally put your cutlery back on the table, not after being used, because it's seen as a lack of respect spoiling the table cloth. You would put them back on your plate, until your plate is being removed for the next course.
@veer9423 I'm a hypocrite because I think most of this whole "let's judge and look down on people for how they choose to fuel their own body' is just stuck up elitist hate... But... I also think it's absolutely gross to put used cutlery directly on a table or tablecloth.
sis, I grow up extrem poverty places in Africa! But I had always a good eye 👁️ to pick what I see from Mexican 🇲🇽 TV which was huge thing as me growing up & very informativ… when I moved to Eroupa 🇪🇺 I had no problem like I was used to leave like this‼️ those German Moms i had use to be impressed with me😂💙
Wow. You make tea time look so elegant. We Americans have a lot to learn about proper etiquette. This was a very nice informative video. Even though she made mistakes you were kind about it.
The thing that bothers me the most is that your average person might think that Kylie’s behavior is the appropriate one. I’m glad for channels like yours that actually educate people and don’t let proper etiquette die. ❤
The thing that bothers me is that you think you're better than people who don't do this stuff but you're not. It's just a bunch of stuck up prejudice and subtle bullying and that's stupid. Stop judging others
Thank You Jamila for lighting the path to knowledge. A petit four is a small, very delicate biscuit or cake. - The term petit four - A French Term means Little Oven-, comes from the practice of pastry chefs to use the residual heat of ovens -after baking large pastries-, to bake smaller pastries. - You pick them up with your fingers, if they are small - Two Bites or less- you can eat them with the fingers, but if they are more than a few bites you can use a fork.
I have a question. In the beginning at 0:12, you cross your legs. I'll soon be 55 years old so maybe this is outdated, but we were taught to never cross our legs. You only cross your ankles. Has that changed?
Reasons why Vogue doesn't choose you but them. Vogue is intrested in doing funny and casual collabs with them. It's like a reaction video. They don't go their to be perfect.
As an English person who takes afternoon tea a few times a year, you actually have a few things incorrect. Particularly the proper way to eat the scones.
I never look at these wrongly hyped people's videos not to give them extra views, I just directly come here to learn from you. And I'm happy about it ❤😍
Petit fours are like the jewels of the dessert world-tiny, elegant treats that pack a lot of charm into just a bite or two. The name means "small oven" in French, reflecting how they were baked using leftover oven heat. They’re designed to be enjoyed in one or two bites, easily eaten with fingers, like you would a mini cupcake or a small fork if they’re more delicate, like a glazed petit four. They are the perfect little finale to a meal. Thank you Ms. Jamila , for sharing your expertise! Your advice on etiquette is always so insightful.
Even if Kylie had learned every etiquette rule in the world, her decision to wear an exposed bra reveals everything (literally and figuratively). Money cannot buy pedigree, but that can easily be overcome with a touch of elegance.
Pedigree? Or stuck-up-ism? Lol 😆 Just remember your fork direction doesn't make you better than her or me or anyone. You are no better than someone who sleeps on a sidewalk. You still vomit and walk around with a urine bag inside your skin and a feces tube inside your skin. Don't forget you were born covered in "gross" stuff. You were slimy. You also poop liquid when you're not feeling well. Quit judging other people over stupid forks and sandwiches.
Petit fours are small bite size of pastries or confections served after a meal. 😊 I was born in Argentina and my mother taught us everything you are explaining in this video! Today was the first time I watched your channel, and I truly enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge! 😊
I always wish to have a elder sibling. For me you are my Big Sister who guided me in various fields in my life .After watching your calligraphy video I learnt calligraphy. I can't describe how much I enjoyed it. After learning calligraphy I become more mindful in my writing and speaking. It also improved my writing style and skills. Your every video inspire me to challenge myself and overcome my limitations. Now I may be don't have enough money to buy various courses but I have abundant time to invest in my self. Thank you for your free resources. May you be happy , May you be healthy,May you be peaceful,May you be always protected . Thank you so much for sharing your time,energy,love and wisdom with us .
Jamila you look absolutely stunning in this video! Your skin is glowing, the outfit is beautiful, and as always your explanations are easy to follow and very insightful. Thank you for sharing with us!😊
Well not everybody knows how to eat like a Brit lmao different cultures have different etiquette, so in this context it’s good your mother taught you, but the rest of the world doesn’t need to know it unless they choose to.
A stroke, really? Licking the knife I can understand, but smelling the food is very natural to humans, we're subconsciously checking if it's safe to eat, not spoiled etc.. Not to mention it creates a more enjoyable experience. If I'm not dining with any posh royals, I don't see why I shouldn't smell my food
They don't teach classes like that anymore......????........you still need too learn how too cook and balance your checkbook hahahahah....teach you how too pay bills......I loved home ec......so easy......
Ok..I gotta say this...Etiquiette was created to make your guests feel at ease. If your host points out the placement of your napkin/ fork...you are not a guest you are a target.
Thank you Jamila for creating such informative and interesting high-quality content about etiquette. About petit fours, you can eat small ones (about two bites or less) without any cutlery by taking one to your plate and eating with your fingers. Bigger ones should be taken to your own plate together with the wrapping by your fingers and eaten with a dessert fork placed on your right hand when you are right-handed. The wrapping is to cover your fingers from stains and it should not be left in the tray (nor the table) when serving yourself a petit four.
Petit fours are small, bite-sized baked goods, typically sweet pastries or cakes, that originated in France. The name "petit four" translates to "small oven" in French, referring to the fact that these treats were originally baked in small ovens or at a lower temperature than larger cakes. Petit fours are often served at social gatherings, parties, and afternoon tea. They can be a variety of flavors and textures, such as: - Fruit tarts - Miniature eclairs - Small cakes (e.g., Victoria sponge or chocolate cake) - Macarons - Madeleines - Miniature quiches or savory tartlets Characteristics of petit fours include: - Small size (usually 1-2 inches in diameter) - Delicate texture and flavor - Attractive presentation - Often decorated with intricate designs or toppings Petit fours are perfect for: - Afternoon tea or coffee breaks - Cocktail parties or receptions - Weddings or baby showers - Special occasions or celebrations These delightful treats offer a delightful combination of flavor, texture, and visual appeal, making them a popular choice for social gatherings and special events. Eating petit fours is an art! 1. *Pick up with fingers*: Petit fours are designed to be bite-sized, so it's perfectly fine to pick them up with your fingers. 2. *One bite*: Enjoy the petit four in one delicate bite. This allows you to experience the combination of flavors and textures. 3. *Use a fork (optional)*: If you prefer, you can use a fork to pick up the petit four. This is especially helpful if the treat is topped with a loose ingredient like powdered sugar. 4. *Savor and enjoy*: Take your time, and relish the flavors and textures. 5. *Pair with a beverage*: Petit fours are often served with tea, coffee, or champagne. Enjoy them with your favorite drink to enhance the experience. 6. *Don't be afraid to get a little messy*: Petit fours can be delicate, so don't worry if you get a little crumb or frosting on your fingers. Some additional etiquette tips: - Wait for the host or server to indicate when to start serving yourself. - Take only one or two petit fours at a time, depending on the serving style. - Don't double-dip or touch the serving utensils with your fingers. - If you're unsure how to eat a particular petit four, follow the lead of others or ask your host. The most important thing is to enjoy the delightful flavors and company!
I'm gonna say it, as an English person, you break a scone in two with your hands, and you lather it in cream and jam. If the conversation is good enough nobody cares if you see teeth, it's about enjoying a treat with someone, not acting like you're better than them. I've seen people enjoying scones this way at multiple top hotels in London, including The Ritz, and felt no need to eat differently myself. Breaking it into pieces seems to be an American practice. I'd only not find it strange if the person had issues with big bites or dexterity etc. Furthermore that scone looks like brioche. Our scones are essentially a sweetened version of American biscuits. Not hard to make.
Summary: If you're an actor you can't enjoy the food at peace, because some soo called etiquette teachers will judge you , just for the sake of their content. And all the people here saying: It's good to learn etiquette blah, blah, blah.... Go get a job fellas. Here etiquettes don't make her famous, but her hardwork does. 🙂
Petit fours are small, bite-sized French pastries that are usually served after a meal. The name comes from the French phrase petit four, which means "small oven," referring to the small oven where the pastries were baked. Table manners for eating large petits fours of more than a few bites are eaten with a fork. Small petit fours of two bites or less are eaten with the fingers. ❤
The real way to eat a scone at high tea is to split the scone with your hands into halves. You spread clotted cream on each half and jam on after that.
Dear Jamila, thank you so much for sharing this video. You are enabling women to be the best versions of themselves. It is so inspiring to see a woman raising up other women! I was just wondering whether you would consider showing us how to eat finger food in an elegant manner? I think it would be really helpful to know how to eat and drink like a lady in more informal settings. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
Very interesting video. Those people aren’t royalty, they are nepo babies, so I guess it makes sense they don’t know etiquette, because they just don’t need it?
@@StylingPrincessM since when are snobby classist rules basic manners? also eating etiquette isn't really a thing in america and esp not with new money. these things dont matter as long as you're being generally respectful
@@NikolaTheodore no not really? the majority of ppl dont know most of these silly rules, yes knowing how to use cutlery in a respectful manner is important but no one cares ab where it's placed or if you're talking while having a fork in your hand also there's a difference between knowing how to do something with basic respect and knowing the exact etiquette of doing it
Of course they need it, and yes they are nepo babies, children who have come from established wealth, they need at least basic manners to be surrounded by high profile professionals, and they can’t use lack of money an excuse
i love everything about Jamila. she's so elegant and thoughtful, and well spoken! i just can't get enough 🥰❤ i've learned so much from your videos! please keep them coming!
I was taught to eat petit fours larger than 2 bites with a fork. Two bites or less with your fingers. And you never scrape your fork across the plate. Petit Fours are small pastries usually bite size and made in a confectionary oven which is a small oven.
Thank you for such a educational video Mrs. Musayeva! For the question you have asked my answer is: For petit fours with delicate icing or decorations, you can use a fork to pick them up. If they are less formal or simpler, you may use your fingers, but make sure your hands are clean. Petit fours are designed to be eaten in a single bite. If you can’t manage to eat them in one bite, cut them into small pieces with a fork. Take only one or two petit fours at a time, leaving others for fellow guests. Don’t forget to use a napkin to keep your hands clean and avoid getting crumbs on the table or your clothes.
✨❤️Yes, Vogue must partner with you - these videos are GOLD‼️✨The lack of manners would have made me crazy, even without the critique. But she goes point by point and it really is shocking….and the whole family is like this. It is such a weird thing that anyone is fascinated with anyone in this family and willingly giving them money. They are not worth the time.
beautiful etiquete lesson , surely can used in everyday formal dining with friends and family members should they go in formal celebrations or gathering.👏👏👏.
Petit fours - These are dry, often almond-flavored cookies or biscuits, like small cakes or tarts. To eat them, you can simply pick them up with your fingers or a small fork, especially if they're elegantly decorated. They’re typically enjoyed as a sweet treat during tea or as part of a dessert spread at gatherings
This lady sure has a lot of rules to follow in order to be elegant with the etiquette. I’m falling asleep, listening to her hammer on and on about what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. I think it was interesting for about five or 10 minutes.
Jamila this was such a helpful video to me and your videos are so so beautiful you are my truly inspiration and I will always support you so so much♥️🥹♥️✨
I didn’t realize how blessed I was growing up. We didn’t have much money but most of these manners were taught to me as just basic common table manners. I’m blown away that this is such a mystery to regular folks. Thank you mom and dad❤
Petit fours stands for the delicate little cakes that originated in France. Their name translates to “small oven” in English as petit fours were baked with the residual heat of brick ovens used for breadmaking in the past. Large petits fours of more than a few bites are eaten with a fork. Small petits fours of two bites or less are eaten with the fingers. Thank you Jamila for a great video! And what a beautiful set! Thank you for such a visual treat!
Bite-sized confections that are typically served at the end of a meal or as part of a dessert tray at events like afternoon tea. The term “petit four” comes from the French language and literally means “small oven,” referring to the small, delicate pastries baked in the residual heat of a cooling oven.
Petit fours are small bite-sized pastries or confections served after a meal. The French word petit four means “small oven” and refers to the very small, secondary oven in which the pastries were baked. Small petits fours of two bites or less are eaten with the fingers. Large petits fours of more than a few bites are eaten with a fork.
Unfortunately, Vogue at least in the USA is not looking for class and etiquette they’re looking for people that are flaunting for any reason that would make people interested in them. The majority of Americans are interested in status and not etiquette .
Kylie's cardigan is so pretty but it matches the plates. I agree it is so unglam to be wearing a bra to the afternoon tea. It's well-known she has done breast enhancement, not sure what's there to prove by her choice of attire. I feel like I was watching a 5 year old kid eating the whole time.
I'm sure Kylie Jenner is a Valley Girl who has never had a proper etiquette lesson on participating in a British Afternoon Tea. I hope she watched this video, which will help her tremendously.
Hi Jamila, huge fan here. Dessert tiny French pastries, Petit Fours, or Mignardises, are bite sized soft cakes covered in fondant or icing. Small Petit Fours of 2 bites or less are eaten with the fingers. Larger Petit Fours are eaten with a fork. ☺️
I’ve watched the entire KarJenner family hold their champagne and wine glasses by the bowl and I never understood how nobody ever told them that that’s not the correct way. I was taught this when I was about 15 or 16, and I come from a middle class family in Germany 😂 this is no hate towards them, it’s just sad to see that basic etiquette has got so so rare nowadays, so I really appreciate the effort you make in teaching us. I learned a lot today and this really makes me want to go and have an afternoon tea with scones 🙏🏼☺️
Thank you so much, Jamila, for another insightful etiquette video! I always enjoy your content. Regarding the etiquette of eating petit fours, I learned that the key is to take small, delicate bites to savor the flavors and to avoid any crumbs by picking it up with my fingers and to use the the thumb and index finger and take small , delicate bite ( depending on the size to eat it with two bites or one usually ) use napkin if needed to dab the mouth or clean fingers if its sticky and never licking the fingers lol ) and part of elegance is not to rush and enjoying the moment and the flavors .. I absolutely love petit fours-they hold a special place in my heart because my mom used to bake them when I was a child. Watching your videos brings back those sweet memories. I hope I get the chance to win a signed book from you; it would be such a wonderful addition to my collection! **Forgot to mention petites fours are small French pastries - bite sized filled with jam or cream ( there’s different types ) and in french it means small oven , very popular at afternoon teas because they serve as a delightful and visually appealing treat . ( yum yum ) 😊 Love you so much and thank you ❤
Hi Jamila, a petit four means small bite-sized baked items typically served during apéro time in the evening or at parties in France. It is generally savoury and could be sweet as well. For example a petit four could me a mini pizza or a mini quiche or tart. Since it's a finger food it can be eaten by hand or a tooth-pic.
Hello, Jamila . Thank you for this very nice video. I do have a question : I would like to know if it would be considered elegant to mix (for example) French and British rules of table manners. In other words, would it be considered impolite or indelicate to hold your cutlery in a french manner while having a british posture with your hands placed on your legs ?
I enjoy that you often explain /why/ certain rules are put in place, because most American people do not know why, and I certainly didn't, and resented etiquette before I studied it. Now I know see it is a wonderful tool.
French term meaning "small oven," and it refers to small, bite-sized confections or pastries typically served as desserts, snacks, or with tea or coffee. There are three main types of petits fours: Petits fours glacés: These are tiny cakes coated with icing or fondant, often decorated with intricate designs, fruits, or nuts. Petits fours secs: These are small, dry baked goods like cookies, biscuits, meringues, and macarons. Petits fours salés: These are savory versions, often served as appetizers, like mini quiches or cheese puffs. Petits fours are often beautifully presented on a tray or platter. They are small and intended to be eaten in one or two bites.They can be picked up with fingers, using a small napkin, or with small dessert forks if provided, especially for iced or glazed varieties.
Hello, Jamila! Thank you for the video! A petit four is a small bite-sized confectionery or savory appetiser, baked in a slow oven (and decorated with fondant icing). The name comes from the French petit four (which means small oven). Large petits fours, of more than a few bites, should be eaten with a fork, while small petits fours of two bites or less can be eaten with the fingers. Small, delicate bites are recommended. 💖

This is normal table table etiquette . It isn't just for tea time.

There are some indications of character in your manners. I’m sorry to say you’re incorrect in your estimation on how conduct is not a show of character. Our behavior is a clear indication of our character, upbringing, education, consideration, and eventually reputation.

poorly raised bc they didnt take etiquette classes?😭 did you? you do realize a very large majority of people don’t do that right?
It’s amazing these people have so much money and wealth, yet they don’t spend on international etiquette and protocol courses, finishing schools etc.
I was thinking the exact same thing! It must be because they don’t surround themselves by classy people?, so probably nobody has ever mentioned it to them. Let’s be honest, the kardashians are anything but classy lol. Still, if I was magically rich tomorrow, I would get a coach to teach me how to behave in luxurious settings, just so people don’t look down on me 🤣
@@Rainbow-jb4xg Me being an Armenian, can’t agree enough with you. So sad. 🤦♀️
They are not a family who value education so it doesn't surprise me.
Not surprized.. they have money not class or even education... and specialy when you know how they got the money
@@eimearmcmanus372Kim went to law school
This is the correct way for tea, I love how she uses constructive criticism, not sarcasm or a negative attitude. Very classy
your whole body language, and energy that you bring, even the way that you speak speak elegance and poise. How can I fall in love watching someone pouring a tea
You can't. That's just lust, and it's very inappropriate to be openly sharing that with her. She's a total stranger. My cat is more polite.
What are you talking about she's just admiring someone
Jeez people can't even compliment each other these days what a state of our society @@thehuntressdanni2972
I love how soft spoken she is .❤
I truly admire it too...
That's what you get when you really have good etiquette❤
As a French person, I loved this video. We are taught all these rules from a young age. You will generally not find these mistakes in France. By the way, the plural is petits fours (s on both words ).
this video made me realize that nothing matters
same here. very dystopian
Yeah thank you for pointing it out
What 😂
nah it felt like watching a sim
How did you jump to such a conclusion?
8:11
"I don't know where this is coming from..." 😂
"girl, me neither."
From Kardashians'-Jenners😂 they think they owe the world. Elegance world is save❤
Yeah, right?!
Thank you for upholding these classic customs and etiquette. I love that you approach it in a straight forward and honest way with class. xo from Toronto
No idea why I decided to watch this video and watch it until the end, but I actually enjoyed it and learned a few things. Will, I be in a situation to use these skills any time soon?- most likely not, but I enjoyed it just the same. You're very pleasant to watch and listen to.
Me and you both 😂, but I enjoyed it though.
It's a meditation to watch you teach. So clear, concise and with such ease ❤ You have camera talent for sure. Vogue is definitely in the cards for you 💯✨️
I’d rather stay at home and eat the way I want instead of being judged how to eat a strawberry
😂 same
Honestly tho 💯
Learning proper etiquette can only help you. Ever had a big meeting over a dinner with a potential employer or the boss of your employer. Js
@@Mads270791i promise you most of the time no one cares
No one is judging you... U r free to eat the way u wish... She is just showing the basic etiquettes that' it....
I grew up with etiquette training and it was important in our upbringing, friends and my partner have no clue about it and don’t believe it’s important or even truth. I’m so glad to see I’m not alone in how to eat and drink. Wonderful video.❤
The sight of a knife being waved around is threatening, yet they find this thing charming and keep doing it.
I bet they really love Kyle in Japan. (sarcasm)
Petit four - Petit fours are small sponge cakes baked in a slow oven and decorated with fondant icing. A very all fancy cake, biscuit, or sweet, typically made with marzipan and served after a meal.
How do we eat them correctly?
Answer - To protect the fingers from a sticky frosting, petits fours are presented in paper wrappers. The pastry and wrapper are removed together from the tray and placed on a plate. Large petits fours of more than a few bites are eaten with a fork. Small petits fours of two bites or less are eaten with the fingers.
Are you an etiquette consultant too?
Correct!
I was obsessed with petite food when I was a child
@@prachibansal6670she literally asked people to put the answer in the comments and they could get one of her books
It's a delight to watch you enjoying the afternoon tea so elegantly.
The petit four usually come in a paper wrapper. You take one from the etagère with your hand and place it on your plate. Than eat it in two bites as it is a small pastry. Should you be served a larger petit four it comes with a small fork you can use. The phrase translate to little oven coming from the custom of backing the pastries in the rest warmth of the oven after the main dish was baked.
Elegance and manners make life so much nicer, so thank you for your content. 😊
1:30 you wouldn't normally put your cutlery back on the table, not after being used, because it's seen as a lack of respect spoiling the table cloth. You would put them back on your plate, until your plate is being removed for the next course.
You're an expert?
She says that at the end of the
I think she meant that whenever the cutlery are on the table, they should be in the correct order. They should only be switched in your hands.
@veer9423 I'm a hypocrite because I think most of this whole "let's judge and look down on people for how they choose to fuel their own body' is just stuck up elitist hate...
But... I also think it's absolutely gross to put used cutlery directly on a table or tablecloth.
sis, I grow up extrem poverty places in Africa! But I had always a good eye 👁️ to pick what I see from Mexican 🇲🇽 TV which was huge thing as me growing up & very informativ… when I moved to Eroupa 🇪🇺 I had no problem like I was used to leave like this‼️ those German Moms i had use to be impressed with me😂💙
❤
I’ve never searched about etiquete in my life and UA-cam gave me this in the recommendations lol what is the internet trying to tell me 😂😂😭😭
Wow. You make tea time look so elegant. We Americans have a lot to learn about proper etiquette. This was a very nice informative video. Even though she made mistakes you were kind about it.
The thing that bothers me the most is that your average person might think that Kylie’s behavior is the appropriate one. I’m glad for channels like yours that actually educate people and don’t let proper etiquette die. ❤
Only average people feel insecure that they have to learn how to use a spoon lol. Kylie is rich enough to not care.
@LilyRose-e3n istg. These people are so pick me, like let a person eat without judgement!?? It's not like they're harming u or others????
Literally nobody cares
Etiquette is annoying and being laid back is way better. Life is too short to care about such trivial things.
The thing that bothers me is that you think you're better than people who don't do this stuff but you're not. It's just a bunch of stuck up prejudice and subtle bullying and that's stupid. Stop judging others
I know nothing about afternoon tea, but I love the sound of her voice and the way that she talks so I always watch till the end
Thank You Jamila for lighting the path to knowledge.
A petit four is a small, very delicate biscuit or cake.
- The term petit four - A French Term means Little Oven-, comes from the practice of pastry chefs to use the residual heat of ovens -after baking large pastries-, to bake smaller pastries.
- You pick them up with your fingers, if they are small - Two Bites or less- you can eat them with the fingers, but if they are more than a few bites you can use a fork.
I have a question. In the beginning at 0:12, you cross your legs. I'll soon be 55 years old so maybe this is outdated, but we were taught to never cross our legs. You only cross your ankles. Has that changed?
I thought the same thing!
I believe this is the Cambridge slant. Which is how Princess Kate sits.
@@lindsiegrey I don't think I've ever seen Princess Kate cross her legs.
@@lindsiegrey I have seen Megan Markle cross her legs.
Reasons why Vogue doesn't choose you but them. Vogue is intrested in doing funny and casual collabs with them. It's like a reaction video. They don't go their to be perfect.
As an English person who takes afternoon tea a few times a year, you actually have a few things incorrect. Particularly the proper way to eat the scones.
I never look at these wrongly hyped people's videos not to give them extra views, I just directly come here to learn from you. And I'm happy about it ❤😍
Petit fours are like the jewels of the dessert world-tiny, elegant treats that pack a lot of charm into just a bite or two. The name means "small oven" in French, reflecting how they were baked using leftover oven heat. They’re designed to be enjoyed in one or two bites, easily eaten with fingers, like you would a mini cupcake or a small fork if they’re more delicate, like a glazed petit four. They are the perfect little finale to a meal.
Thank you Ms. Jamila , for sharing your expertise! Your advice on etiquette is always so insightful.
Even if Kylie had learned every etiquette rule in the world, her decision to wear an exposed bra reveals everything (literally and figuratively). Money cannot buy pedigree, but that can easily be overcome with a touch of elegance.
Pedigree? Or stuck-up-ism? Lol 😆 Just remember your fork direction doesn't make you better than her or me or anyone. You are no better than someone who sleeps on a sidewalk. You still vomit and walk around with a urine bag inside your skin and a feces tube inside your skin. Don't forget you were born covered in "gross" stuff. You were slimy. You also poop liquid when you're not feeling well.
Quit judging other people over stupid forks and sandwiches.
Maybe the exposed chest is supposed to go with her manners- style decisions have been made 🥲
Omg Jamila you have the hands of an angel so clean-looking, even and pretty!!!
Petit fours are small bite size of pastries or confections served after a meal. 😊
I was born in Argentina and my mother taught us everything you are explaining in this video! Today was the first time I watched your channel, and I truly enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge! 😊
I always wish to have a elder sibling. For me you are my Big Sister who guided me in various fields in my life .After watching your calligraphy video I learnt calligraphy. I can't describe how much I enjoyed it. After learning calligraphy I become more mindful in my writing and speaking. It also improved my writing style and skills. Your every video inspire me to challenge myself and overcome my limitations. Now I may be don't have enough money to buy various courses but I have abundant time to invest in my self. Thank you for your free resources.
May you be happy , May you be healthy,May you be peaceful,May you be always protected .
Thank you so much for sharing your time,energy,love and wisdom with us .
I am so happy this channel wandered off to my YT recommendations. ❤️
So glad!
Jamila you look absolutely stunning in this video! Your skin is glowing, the outfit is beautiful, and as always your explanations are easy to follow and very insightful. Thank you for sharing with us!😊
Thank you for sharing etiquette tips....Wonderful and helpful information 😊
Thank goodness my mother taught me good etiquette. I just about had a stroke when she liked the knife and was smelling her food.
Well not everybody knows how to eat like a Brit lmao different cultures have different etiquette, so in this context it’s good your mother taught you, but the rest of the world doesn’t need to know it unless they choose to.
A stroke, really? Licking the knife I can understand, but smelling the food is very natural to humans, we're subconsciously checking if it's safe to eat, not spoiled etc.. Not to mention it creates a more enjoyable experience. If I'm not dining with any posh royals, I don't see why I shouldn't smell my food
Exactly the same.
This is so cringe
It did look crass
Who cares damn let people live
We were taught these during highschool, its included in our home economics subject
They don't teach classes like that anymore......????........you still need too learn how too cook and balance your checkbook hahahahah....teach you how too pay bills......I loved home ec......so easy......
In what decade?
Ok..I gotta say this...Etiquiette was created to make your guests feel at ease. If your host points out the placement of your napkin/ fork...you are not a guest you are a target.
Thank you Jamila for creating such informative and interesting high-quality content about etiquette. About petit fours, you can eat small ones (about two bites or less) without any cutlery by taking one to your plate and eating with your fingers. Bigger ones should be taken to your own plate together with the wrapping by your fingers and eaten with a dessert fork placed on your right hand when you are right-handed. The wrapping is to cover your fingers from stains and it should not be left in the tray (nor the table) when serving yourself a petit four.
Lovely video, with clear information, and all said in a kind way. Really sad comment section, though, quite a lot of mean comments
Petit fours are small, bite-sized baked goods, typically sweet pastries or cakes, that originated in France. The name "petit four" translates to "small oven" in French, referring to the fact that these treats were originally baked in small ovens or at a lower temperature than larger cakes.
Petit fours are often served at social gatherings, parties, and afternoon tea. They can be a variety of flavors and textures, such as:
- Fruit tarts
- Miniature eclairs
- Small cakes (e.g., Victoria sponge or chocolate cake)
- Macarons
- Madeleines
- Miniature quiches or savory tartlets
Characteristics of petit fours include:
- Small size (usually 1-2 inches in diameter)
- Delicate texture and flavor
- Attractive presentation
- Often decorated with intricate designs or toppings
Petit fours are perfect for:
- Afternoon tea or coffee breaks
- Cocktail parties or receptions
- Weddings or baby showers
- Special occasions or celebrations
These delightful treats offer a delightful combination of flavor, texture, and visual appeal, making them a popular choice for social gatherings and special events.
Eating petit fours is an art!
1. *Pick up with fingers*: Petit fours are designed to be bite-sized, so it's perfectly fine to pick them up with your fingers.
2. *One bite*: Enjoy the petit four in one delicate bite. This allows you to experience the combination of flavors and textures.
3. *Use a fork (optional)*: If you prefer, you can use a fork to pick up the petit four. This is especially helpful if the treat is topped with a loose ingredient like powdered sugar.
4. *Savor and enjoy*: Take your time, and relish the flavors and textures.
5. *Pair with a beverage*: Petit fours are often served with tea, coffee, or champagne. Enjoy them with your favorite drink to enhance the experience.
6. *Don't be afraid to get a little messy*: Petit fours can be delicate, so don't worry if you get a little crumb or frosting on your fingers.
Some additional etiquette tips:
- Wait for the host or server to indicate when to start serving yourself.
- Take only one or two petit fours at a time, depending on the serving style.
- Don't double-dip or touch the serving utensils with your fingers.
- If you're unsure how to eat a particular petit four, follow the lead of others or ask your host.
The most important thing is to enjoy the delightful flavors and company!
The comments don’t pass the vibe check but I enjoyed the video! It was educational and extremely calming to watch 💕
Thank you! I’m glad you found it calming! 😌
Wearing a Busti-caca to Tea is crazy work 😂😂😂
What is a busti caca ?😂
I'm gonna say it, as an English person, you break a scone in two with your hands, and you lather it in cream and jam. If the conversation is good enough nobody cares if you see teeth, it's about enjoying a treat with someone, not acting like you're better than them. I've seen people enjoying scones this way at multiple top hotels in London, including The Ritz, and felt no need to eat differently myself. Breaking it into pieces seems to be an American practice. I'd only not find it strange if the person had issues with big bites or dexterity etc. Furthermore that scone looks like brioche. Our scones are essentially a sweetened version of American biscuits. Not hard to make.
I love that you correct the action of Kylie, not like making fun of her
Summary: If you're an actor you can't enjoy the food at peace, because some soo called etiquette teachers will judge you , just for the sake of their content. And all the people here saying: It's good to learn etiquette blah, blah, blah.... Go get a job fellas. Here etiquettes don't make her famous, but her hardwork does. 🙂
Petit fours are small, bite-sized French pastries that are usually served after a meal. The name comes from the French phrase petit four, which means "small oven," referring to the small oven where the pastries were baked. Table manners for eating large petits fours of more than a few bites are eaten with a fork. Small petit fours of two bites or less are eaten with the fingers. ❤
The real way to eat a scone at high tea is to split the scone with your hands into halves. You spread clotted cream on each half and jam on after that.
Jamila Musayeva, awesome content you deserve more views
Dear Jamila, thank you so much for sharing this video. You are enabling women to be the best versions of themselves. It is so inspiring to see a woman raising up other women! I was just wondering whether you would consider showing us how to eat finger food in an elegant manner? I think it would be really helpful to know how to eat and drink like a lady in more informal settings. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
Very interesting video. Those people aren’t royalty, they are nepo babies, so I guess it makes sense they don’t know etiquette, because they just don’t need it?
etiquette, also known as basic manners, is for everyone, not just royalty. the whole point of creating them is for everyone to enjoy eating together
@@StylingPrincessM since when are snobby classist rules basic manners? also eating etiquette isn't really a thing in america and esp not with new money. these things dont matter as long as you're being generally respectful
@@user-wc1vh7ss4e sorry but knowing how to use cutlery and drink from a teacup is indeed basic manners
@@NikolaTheodore no not really? the majority of ppl dont know most of these silly rules, yes knowing how to use cutlery in a respectful manner is important but no one cares ab where it's placed or if you're talking while having a fork in your hand
also there's a difference between knowing how to do something with basic respect and knowing the exact etiquette of doing it
Of course they need it, and yes they are nepo babies, children who have come from established wealth, they need at least basic manners to be surrounded by high profile professionals, and they can’t use lack of money an excuse
i love everything about Jamila. she's so elegant and thoughtful, and well spoken! i just can't get enough 🥰❤ i've learned so much from your videos! please keep them coming!
Thank you!
@@JamilaMusayeva You are most welcome!
I really enjoyed the video, thank you 💗💗
I was taught to eat petit fours larger than 2 bites with a fork. Two bites or less with your fingers. And you never scrape your fork across the plate. Petit Fours are small pastries usually bite size and made in a confectionary oven which is a small oven.
Wow! I have more etiquette then a billionaire and I was raised on the woods of Pennsylvania 😄
Thank you for such a educational video Mrs. Musayeva! For the question you have asked my answer is: For petit fours with delicate icing or decorations, you can use a fork to pick them up. If they are less formal or simpler, you may use your fingers, but make sure your hands are clean. Petit fours are designed to be eaten in a single bite. If you can’t manage to eat them in one bite, cut them into small pieces with a fork.
Take only one or two petit fours at a time, leaving others for fellow guests.
Don’t forget to use a napkin to keep your hands clean and avoid getting crumbs on the table or your clothes.
This video is so informative. Thank you so much!
✨❤️Yes, Vogue must partner with you - these videos are GOLD‼️✨The lack of manners would have made me crazy, even without the critique. But she goes point by point and it really is shocking….and the whole family is like this. It is such a weird thing that anyone is fascinated with anyone in this family and willingly giving them money. They are not worth the time.
beautiful etiquete lesson , surely can used in everyday formal dining with friends and family members should they go in formal celebrations or gathering.👏👏👏.
Petit fours - These are dry, often almond-flavored cookies or biscuits, like small cakes or tarts.
To eat them, you can simply pick them up with your fingers or a small fork, especially if they're elegantly decorated. They’re typically enjoyed as a sweet treat during tea or as part of a dessert spread at gatherings
This lady sure has a lot of rules to follow in order to be elegant with the etiquette. I’m falling asleep, listening to her hammer on and on about what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. I think it was interesting for about five or 10 minutes.
Jamila this was such a helpful video to me and your videos are so so beautiful you are my truly inspiration and I will always support you so so much♥️🥹♥️✨
I didn’t realize how blessed I was growing up. We didn’t have much money but most of these manners were taught to me as just basic common table manners. I’m blown away that this is such a mystery to regular folks. Thank you mom and dad❤
Petit fours stands for the delicate little cakes that originated in France. Their name translates to “small oven” in English as petit fours were baked with the residual heat of brick ovens used for breadmaking in the past. Large petits fours of more than a few bites are eaten with a fork. Small petits fours of two bites or less are eaten with the fingers.
Thank you Jamila for a great video! And what a beautiful set! Thank you for such a visual treat!
Thanks Jamila. Lovely as always. Very informative and good reminders.
as expected, any video of kylie is a "why NOT to do" video 😂😂
What not to do**
She is eating like any other average person. I don't think this is something you can judge her for... it's not very elegant.
@@heavenslittlequeen maybe where you're from, the average is lower. here, no one eats like that, not even little kids
@@StylingPrincessM Get out more then.
@@heavenslittlequeen same, maybe you also learn some manners 😉
There is beauty in such discipline. Informative video!
Bite-sized confections that are typically served at the end of a meal or as part of a dessert tray at events like afternoon tea. The term “petit four” comes from the French language and literally means “small oven,” referring to the small, delicate pastries baked in the residual heat of a cooling oven.
I may be middle class however I'm pleased to know I have proper etiquette 😅
Petit fours are small bite-sized pastries or confections served after a meal. The French word petit four means “small oven” and refers to the very small, secondary oven in which the pastries were baked.
Small petits fours of two bites or less are eaten with the fingers. Large petits fours of more than a few bites are eaten with a fork.
You are so elegant in the way you do and explain things❤
Very demure, very mindful !
Unfortunately, Vogue at least in the USA is not looking for class and etiquette they’re looking for people that are flaunting for any reason that would make people interested in them.
The majority of Americans are interested in status and not etiquette .
thank you so much for this episode ... i enjoyed the video😊
I love watching etiquette videos. ❤❤❤ Great insight and lesson.
Kylie's cardigan is so pretty but it matches the plates. I agree it is so unglam to be wearing a bra to the afternoon tea. It's well-known she has done breast enhancement, not sure what's there to prove by her choice of attire. I feel like I was watching a 5 year old kid eating the whole time.
I'm so glad she addressed that point..
I'm sure Kylie Jenner is a Valley Girl who has never had a proper etiquette lesson on participating in a British Afternoon Tea. I hope she watched this video, which will help her tremendously.
Hi Jamila, huge fan here.
Dessert tiny French pastries, Petit Fours, or Mignardises, are bite sized soft cakes covered in fondant or icing. Small Petit Fours of 2 bites or less are eaten with the fingers. Larger Petit Fours are eaten with a fork. ☺️
I’ve watched the entire KarJenner family hold their champagne and wine glasses by the bowl and I never understood how nobody ever told them that that’s not the correct way. I was taught this when I was about 15 or 16, and I come from a middle class family in Germany 😂 this is no hate towards them, it’s just sad to see that basic etiquette has got so so rare nowadays, so I really appreciate the effort you make in teaching us. I learned a lot today and this really makes me want to go and have an afternoon tea with scones 🙏🏼☺️
1. They are from the us not Germany.
2. They are rich enough to not worry about what middle class people think
@@LilyRose-e3nyou are in many comment threads... is that you Kylie😂.
Yes, money doesn't buy class. Kylie is a very good example of this fact.
@@Keyrose-my3xr that’s giving stalker vibes. Not really classy.
You are so right about holding a wine glass. I hate it when in a restaurant the server holds my glass at the bowl.
Taught? They have no breeding. Kardasians are neanderthals. Don't look to them if you want to see class
I love your videos, you connect me with my best version ❤
Well written ❤
Im so glad I watched the entire video and I’m more then delighted I new all the etiquettes😊 makes me happy I was raised right
Thank you!
I need more of this videos ❤ I have learn so much! Thank you!
Thank you so much, Jamila, for another insightful etiquette video! I always enjoy your content. Regarding the etiquette of eating petit fours, I learned that the key is to take small, delicate bites to savor the flavors and to avoid any crumbs by picking it up with my fingers and to use the the thumb and index finger and take small , delicate bite ( depending on the size to eat it with two bites or one usually ) use napkin if needed to dab the mouth or clean fingers if its sticky and never licking the fingers lol ) and part of elegance is not to rush and enjoying the moment and the flavors .. I absolutely love petit fours-they hold a special place in my heart because my mom used to bake them when I was a child. Watching your videos brings back those sweet memories. I hope I get the chance to win a signed book from you; it would be such a wonderful addition to my collection!
**Forgot to mention petites fours are small French pastries - bite sized filled with jam or cream ( there’s different types ) and in french it means small oven , very popular at afternoon teas because they serve as a delightful and visually appealing treat . ( yum yum ) 😊
Love you so much and thank you ❤
I truly despised that she sniffed the food like a child 😂 and also her outfit, looks like she couldn’t close her top and sat at the table in a rush.
Hi Jamila, a petit four means small bite-sized baked items typically served during apéro time in the evening or at parties in France. It is generally savoury and could be sweet as well. For example a petit four could me a mini pizza or a mini quiche or tart. Since it's a finger food it can be eaten by hand or a tooth-pic.
Hello, Jamila . Thank you for this very nice video. I do have a question : I would like to know if it would be considered elegant to mix (for example) French and British rules of table manners. In other words, would it be considered impolite or indelicate to hold your cutlery in a french manner while having a british posture with your hands placed on your legs ?
Great question! I would like to know the answer too
I enjoy that you often explain /why/ certain rules are put in place, because most American people do not know why, and I certainly didn't, and resented etiquette before I studied it. Now I know see it is a wonderful tool.
French term meaning "small oven," and it refers to small, bite-sized confections or pastries typically served as desserts, snacks, or with tea or coffee. There are three main types of petits fours:
Petits fours glacés: These are tiny cakes coated with icing or fondant, often decorated with intricate designs, fruits, or nuts.
Petits fours secs: These are small, dry baked goods like cookies, biscuits, meringues, and macarons.
Petits fours salés: These are savory versions, often served as appetizers, like mini quiches or cheese puffs.
Petits fours are often beautifully presented on a tray or platter. They are small and intended to be eaten in one or two bites.They can be picked up with fingers, using a small napkin, or with small dessert forks if provided, especially for iced or glazed varieties.
well explained and the info about types is new for me. thank you, i hope you are the picked one.
Hello, Jamila! Thank you for the video!
A petit four is a small bite-sized confectionery or savory appetiser, baked in a slow oven (and decorated with fondant icing).
The name comes from the French petit four (which means small oven).
Large petits fours, of more than a few bites, should be eaten with a fork, while small petits fours of two bites or less can be eaten with the fingers.
Small, delicate bites are recommended.

I forgot to say thank you for your videos. There are always inspirational
