[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we all own guns, ALL of us. in fact, the reason Americans keep their hands on/above the dining table is to show everyone that you're not holding a firearm. (explained to me by a slightly inebriated French hostess, some years ago)[/quote] I think the opposite? Americans keep left hand in our laps while eating. Europeans eat with both hands holding knife and fork. [/quote] Haha I agree with the gun comment but also yes, the American style of eating, with only one hand! I find this so strange![/quote] crap, I was possibly also inebriated at the time. maybe it was that americans keep one hand in their lap to hide their firearm? apparently, I have bad American AND bad French table manners.[/quote] A snotty acquaintance from Milan said that the American habit of eating with one hand in the lap reminded him of "the Zulu." He doesn't have a high opinion of Americans in general...[/quote]
