In a restaurant when served dijon mustard in a ramekin, should you take it with your knife, from the ramekin?

Question

as and when you need it, or take a significant amount and put it on the side of your plate to begin with?

Answer 1

No!!!!Always scoop it out sparingly with a spoon and then put it on the plate, thenuse your knife!Its only proper etiquett!!

Answer 2

Take only what is needed with a knife or spoon.  Do not use a utensil that you eat with if it is a shared dish.  Use a spare utensil.

Taking more than what is needed is a bit wasteful and selfish as you might not leave enough for someone else.

Answer 3

Do whatever you want its your food you bought it.

in fact depending on the price of the meal i would take the ramekin.
