Reflection 07: Which Fork Do I Use?—Table Manners and You

Directly or indirectly, we are all taught that a certain protocol exists during meals. Every meal is accompanied by long list of dos and don'ts, some of which we may be conscious of and some of which we may not. How would you rate your own table manners? What are you conscious of and which areas could use some work? How important is the etiquette of those with whom you are eating? Do you have any pet peeves about your eating companions? What bothers you about other people's manners at the dinner table? Finally, what do a your own table manners say about you as an individual?

Include in your discussion at least two of the following:

• "Table Manners Quiz" (ProProfs)
• "Put a Fork in It" (Slate)
• "United States Dining Etiquette" (What's Cooking, America)
• "A Man’s Guide to Dining Etiquette and Proper Table Manners" (The Art of Manliness)
• "Mealtime Common Etiquette Mistakes & Dining What-If's" (The Huffington Post)
• "Table Manners Around the World" (The Daily Meal)

Required:

• MLA Style
• Must be 1-2 pages in length
