I have table manners!

The dinner I had tonight was some sort of fish bisque. At least, I'm sure it was a bisque, and it had fish eggs swimming in it. Or otherwise, little red balls of fishy tasting substance.

Anyway. The second course was a rare tuna steak over string beans and pineapple with a baked potato that seasoned in a delicious fashion.

The dessert was a chocolate brownie filled with strawberries with ice cream on the side.

It was pretty good.

The restaurant was also looking pretty snazzy, so I decided to behave myself.

I ate in the continental fashion, knife in my right hand, fork in the left. I ate in reasonably sized bites. I cut the vegetables before eating them. I used all of the appropriate silverware, the entree fork for the entree, the dessert fork for the dessert, etc.

When I was finished eating, I placed the silverware in the appropriate 4-10 positions, and to my great pleasure, the waiter recognized it!

I folded the napkin when I was done. After dessert I placed the credit card on the table, 1/2 " from the edge and perfectly parallel with it. I did not look at the bill until after the card was charged. I tipped 45%. I left the billfold with the merchant copy similarly positioned 1/2 " from the edge and parallel.

People have seen me eat. It's not like this. My parents would be so proud though. <3



Where do you stand when it comes to table manners?

Are not most table etiquette redundant?

Forget modern times innovations for eating food! Whatever happened to using your bare hands, like to kill a man?
