Reflection 03: 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 do you do well 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? 

Include in your discussion at least two of the following:

• "Quiz: Do Your Table Manners Measure Up?" (Jacksonville Business Journal)
• "Put a Fork in It" (Slate)
• "A Man’s Guide to Dining Etiquette and Proper Table Manners" (The Art of Manliness)
• "Confronting Bad Table Manners" (Crucial Skills)
• "Mealtime Common Etiquette Mistakes & Dining What-If's" (The Huffington Post)
• "Setting a Table" (MarthaStewart.com)
