  1. 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

    if you burp..giggle and say..scuse me...

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

    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.

    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>

    with fingers and eat it.

    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.
