tables manners seem to really depend on the type of food you’re enjoying…popcorn pretty much demands fingers…as does a hearty piece of farm bread dipped into a bowl of homemade stew….now, a salad invites proper use of a fork….and i mostly agree that elbows on the table are not a great idea, unless you are laughing with a good friend over a glass of wine….then you can pretty much lay on the table & still have good manners….when it comes to chocolate, there are no rules what so ever….all i am saying, is that manners vary from table to table…person to person…meal to meal….bon appetit…
Would you mind sharing where they're from?
