What do you do with an olive pip? Should spaghetti be eaten with a spoon? Is it acceptable to ask for a fork if you cannot use chopsticks, and when is eating with your fingers actually the correct thing to do?
In this episode of Manners and Other Matters, Louise Percy explores the small dining dilemmas that can make even a confident person suddenly wonder, “What do I do with that?”
From finger foods, skewers and fork-only dining to spaghetti, soup, bread and chopsticks, Louise shares practical contemporary table manners designed to make dining feel comfortable rather than complicated.
She also looks beyond Western dining traditions to consider eating customs in India and Ethiopia, and why cultural curiosity, observation and respect are essential elements of modern etiquette.
Because good table manners are not about demonstrating how many rules you know. They are about confidence, consideration and making the people around you feel comfortable.
