      I can see that but I just find it a waste if you can finish the food finish the food. I don’t know it’s a big waste to me especially since other people in the world are starving and I’m lucky to even have the food. Eh everyone has certain rules I guess.

    @verdecillo9940 Рік тому +1

    If we’re talking about true Victorian dining etiquette, there are a couple extra rules:
    -Guests enter the dining room as couples - the conscientious hostess will have indicated to each gentleman beforehand which lady he was to escort (the seating arrangements would have been made to alternate men and women)
    -Each gentlemen helps seat the lady whom he escorts
    -The gentlemen speak to the ladies on their right first, then they switch to the ladies on their left
    -When the communal butter dish is passed around, you do NOT butter your bread directly from it - instead, you take a serving of butter with the master knife and put it onto the edge of your own bread plate - then you use that serving to butter your bread (piece by piece) with your own butter spreader
    - The hostess will indicate when the meal is over - everyone stands up (because all the gentlemen always stand up whenever a lady stands up), but the gentlemen sit back down after the ladies leave the room- yes - because the ladies go to the drawing room to converse about “trivial stuff” while the gentlemen stay behind in the dining room to smoke and discuss “serious topics” (the gentlemen rejoin the ladies in the drawing room after a while)
    -There are other small rules, but that’s enough for now.

    So basically, the same rules you should also follow today if you're at a slightly fancier restaurant or a slightly more formal/festive dinner lol? My parents were never really strict about me "behaving" or anything like that, but I still learned all of that as a child (with a few exceptions, I don't think anyone would frown at leaving cutlery on the plate these days, although it does make sense not to). Some of this I think is really just basic politeness and common sense imo ... (by the way, the drawing room sneeze was super cute as is your dress). Thanks for the video!

    (it is also really nice to dine with well mannered people, it just makes everything seem so neat)

      I think we were told to sit up straight but at one point the adults in the family just stopped trying. The only thing they make us do (and I understand why) is to not eat with your mouth full. Then again my family is probably one of the least strict/formal families ever so nobody would care enough to follow these rules. Main rule we have is no devices on the table and that’s only really when we eat with our extended family.

We don’t even have to keep our elbows off the table. So I guess it’s ether different here in America or different in my family.
