[quote=Anonymous]The proper way to butter your roll (i.e., not all at once). The proper way to cut meat (i.e, slice, do not saw and do not cut up all at once). Eat for all of the items on your plate. Do not eat all of one item before moving on to next. The proper direction to pass food (i.e, counter-clockwise). To wait for the hostess to pick up her cutlery before beginning to eat. Not to take too much of any one serving. Bring your food to your mouth not your mouth to your food (i.e., do not lower you food to your plate). Elbows off the table. Ask for something to be passed to you; do not grab. Do not monopolize the conversation. Sit up straight. Do not gobble your food. Take time to appreciate the meal. Proper use of napkin….the list is endless. Sadly, good table manners (ok manners in general) are becoming a lost art. Get a good etiquette book for teens and have periodic "formal" dinners. It will make a difference.[/quote]
