At least in NC that is the new rule.<BR/><BR/>I once sat beside a woman eating a lettuce wedge and it sounded like a llama grazing on brush. Fine by me. I am guilty of wedging massive amount of greens down my neck. <BR/><BR/>The napkin should be laid on the arm or back of the chair, not in the fanny smell section.Reggie Hunnicutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225585623322034210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837228.post-41476346637841500302008-11-18T10:01:00.000-05:002008-11-18T10:01:00.000-05:00If people don't like the way I do or do not cut my...If people don't like the way I do or do not cut my lettuce.....they can eat at the next table.<BR/><BR/>And I just want to get all of that yummy stuff in as quickly as possible. Napkin usage between food and wine.....whaaaa?<BR/><BR/>Napkin on the chair? C'mon, I'd rather people see my food stains than my having to experience someone else's butt smells on my napkin.<BR/><BR/>Why is it only okay to take fish bones out with your fingers?<BR/><BR/>10 and 4? Why not 10 and 2? Like driving - too many numbers is another distraction to the enjoyment of another great meal.TerryChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881825193133997237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837228.post-62614349487006291872008-11-17T20:39:00.000-05:002008-11-17T20:39:00.000-05:00I think the silverware at 10 and 4 o'clock is just...I think the silverware at 10 and 4 o'clock is just getting picky. <BR/><BR/>If the server is a female, to get her attention I usually just snap my fingers and call her "sweetheart."

You sail with these people during the day on a 72 foot sailing machine in shorts and chugging beers, watching some of them turn green. At the end of the day you settle into a beautiful anchorage for the night, make sure the drinks are flowing in the cockpit, and get dinner ready. I really loved setting a proper table for our guests, folding napkins different every night, every fork and plate perfectly aligned and in it's place. Shut the gally door....and we the crew would be stuffing food in our mouths with our hands. What fond memories you inspired me with.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290928283713813594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837228.post-32326973277987771832008-11-17T17:48:00.000-05:002008-11-17T17:48:00.000-05:00Is it acceptable to tuck the cloth napkin either i...Is it acceptable to tuck the cloth napkin either into your collar or across the waiste of your pants?MELackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10605873535788111598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837228.post-48478030073956879712008-11-17T15:55:00.000-05:002008-11-17T15:55:00.000-05:00Oh I'm only talking about table cloth dining.Chick...Oh I'm only talking about table cloth dining.<BR/><BR/>Chicken wings and ribs with beer? <BR/><BR/>Why they'd beat your ass if you did any fruity stuff.Reggie Hunnicutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225585623322034210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837228.post-74037155896375369552008-11-17T15:51:00.000-05:002008-11-17T15:51:00.000-05:00Funny Jay!Funny Jay!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720504525710280040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837228.post-43582654695533714952008-11-17T15:46:00.000-05:002008-11-17T15:46:00.000-05:00Holy shit, I didn't know there were so many rules ...Holy shit, I didn't know there were so many rules to eating! <BR/><BR/>What are the rules if I am at a bar eating ribs and am already 3 sheets to the wind? <BR/><BR/>I'd say these no longer apply :)Jay Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528142967319689263noreply@blogger.com
