Ever been at the dinner table and been unsure what to do next? What fork to use? How to hold the glass? Where to put your napkin? Oliver Mims illustrates the ease of mastering table manners.
Forgot...what about when eating soup? It is correct to sip and move spoon away from yourself...but what about the hand...in the video the man has his hand down holding the spoon...shouldn't it be up like "regular" but spoon soup away from body as shown??!!
Humorus and interesting...really liked the analogy of people at the "Last Supper!!!"
Disagree on stemware...thought one holds the stem for any wine? Also what about the use of elbows on the table...Europeans do this but the English/Americans do not.

Thank You Ollie! I am an American living in France and needed this info desperately as the French insist on impeccable table manners.
LOVE it!
