Manners maketh the man

[parakitaMol.]

Now, while we're discussing food.

Can we also discuss ettiquette.

I once went to dinner with a man, a very nice restaurant indeed.... I was really looking forward to dinner until.... he sliced open his bread roll, buttered both sides of it, folded it together and ate it like a bun.

Still, it could be worse, he could have ordered 'afters'.

i suppose you break bits off your rolls, scattering crumbs everywhere and butter each bit at a time.

honestly, some people

[Knick Pee]

rolls are for throwing. Everyone knows that.

That's cos yours don't rise properly and they are like rocks.

Honestly, I'll give you a good dough recipie..... if you need one.

The plate should be on the left and you should break off small pieces at a time. Butter is optional but I prefer not to use it, never cut it!

Next?

Enough with the innuendos. Children read this forum.

Do you have a number for that restaurant? Sounds fun...

Yes, finish your supper.

Butter on bread, as any foodie knows, is a good thing.

The fat coats the mouth, thus holds onto the flavour longer.

[workflowwarrior]

interesting!

It's personal taste, not right or wrong.

Stuffing cut and buttered roll into your fat mouth is bad manners.

That's the one!

Before I met Mrs M, I'd lift the soup bowl with both hands and drink.......

The bread was just a mop.

I have the plate on the left and only tear little bits off the roll of course.

I also order whole roast chickens and rip them apart wtih my hands, but the important thing is I treat the bread roll with respect.

I treat a restaurant meal as an excuse to order stupidly difficult to prepare meals and then spend a good half hour picking, cracking, slurping and stuffing my way through it... but only from 2nd date onwards

By then she's bound to have tried my cock-au-vin and then frankly I've no danger of losing her

Bread rolls are to be eaten in torn off chunks with butter, as a distraction from intelligent conversation
