did you know, if you get meat on you plate, and it has a bone in it, you can pick it up. that's acceptable
if you eat hot peppers and need to blow your nose, just blow it and blow it good, blow out the candles! this is acceptable
A gentlemen can stuff a cloth napkin onto a lady's lap, come in at an angle, push the napkin across her thighs, don't worry that your hands may brush her legs, is aight you're being a gentlemen

Barry,
Well that certainly was in poor taste, imho.
PLONK!

He's right about meat served on-the-bone, according to Miss Manners.

Unless it's a pork chop smothered in gravy 😉

Gravy or not, I would eat a steak or chop with a knife and fork until I got down to just the bone, and then pick it up and gnaw the last bits off of the bone -- daintily, of course.
Maybe that's why most meat is sold boneless these days; to save the hostess the embarrassment of having guests eat with their fingers. ;-)

Except for the dainty part, that's how I eat pork chops, which I was relentlessly razzed about, still makes me laugh.

Well, there are limits, I'd daresay. You wouldn't pick up an entire t-bone and start gnawing away and anything with a sauce or gravy is verboten. Common sense is a wonderous thing.

I don't believe that to be correct.
what do you do with a turkey leg?
Cut it off the bone unless you're at a fair. Then you can wander about gnawing on it. Etiquette does not apply to fairs <g>

Knife and fork, it such a thing is served whole. It really shouldn't be.

Now and then they would serve them (whole) in the cafeteria at my former employer's. It was a chore to eat. One did not want to look like a cave man in the cafeteria by gnawing on it whole so one struggled with knife and fork.
