hmmm it almost hurts cos you try so hard |
Tenchu aside, I was raised to set a proper, over-pompous, British 12 piece place setting and how to use (or not use) each component, even to the inane American practice of shifting the fork back and forth when using a knife to cut the food.
But my point is that rather than focus on my own customs when eating, I adhere to those of the person providing the food out of respect for their talent and/or generosity.
In some ways that could fly in the face of some Emily Post Ettiquette Maven, but I have yet to have the practice offend my host.
