The link is dead. I'd love to hear the explanation for this bit of foolishness. And if "the trickiest form of eating is the most polite," why do we not stand on our heads or balance on one foot and eat that way? There is simply no logic to be found in this idea.

I would like to read the article too. I never quite learned the western table manners. I only learned what the other school kids taught me while eating in the cafeteria. "Don't chew with your mouth open; don't talk with your mouth full; don't put your elbows on the table." (No, I've never really talked with my mouth full because I've always been a slow eater and never had much friends to talk to at lunch time. I did, however, put my elbows on the table.)
It's rude to point, and now, you're uncouth and infantile to use a fork to scoop up your food. Hmm....I'm rather glad I've always been somewhat a hermit. I would hate to appear so uncivilized. |
