Michael Jackson is like some other things around here..I try not to look. 😉

Michael Jackson and his entourage walked right by me at Paris casino
in Las Vegas a couple of years ago. Could have reached out and touched
him <shudder> He's creepier lookin' in person than on TV.

(actually the wing is my fave). At my mother's she always
removes the meat from the bone except on ribs.

there's more meat on a wing than most people know

Shut up, ok? You're going to drive the price up on them if people find
out.

In victorian times, they had a special utensil to keep food stationary
so you could get it onto the fork. I've taken to using my knife for
that purpose.

Was this anything like the little silver pusher I used in my childhood (uh,
late 20s/early 30s) that helped us push food onto a little fork?
It was a handy dandy little tool, and my children and grandchildren also
used it.

That be the one I'm thinking about. Didn't know it was that "new"!

Practice safe eating. Always use condiments.

Oh, I doubt they were "new" even in the 20s! Most of the ones I've seen have
a definite Victorian feel to them. Sure beats fingers!

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

Quoted message said:

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

Ok, it took a little while to get Miss Manners' guide to Eating sent
over from the library.

Here's what she says about chops:

"In any but the most informal family meals, chops should not be picked
up . . . "

On poultry:

"We all know plainly cooked poultry tastes better when eaten from the
hands, but it is permissable to eat it that way only at picnics and
very informal dinners."

Among the things that are permitted to be eaten with the fingers
include: chips, nuts, canapes, asparagus, artichokes, frog's legs,
sandwiches.

she'd probably faint at my house
i would be happy to oblige her

this is sooo subjective

who died and left her in charge of manners

HAD IT SENT OVER FROM THE LIBRARY?!?

you coulda saved your call...I make all the rules
I sez what is polite and what is not!

the rule is whatever is practical

the thing is..if I can't get it with my knife...im goin pick it up
why not! who cares!

another rule in manners is that the host makes the rules
if you're in rome do as the romans

some cultures think it is a insult if you do not belch! this is true
I don't know which, i just know it's true...

some people eat with their fingers and some with wooden sticks

what do we call ourselves doing...
I've seen dainty women wrestle with a big ol bone
and had no inclination or idea to stick it in their mouth
whats the problem?

WE GONNA EAT OR WE GONNA STARVE TO DEATH

you're killin me smalls, your killin me
