Five out of five!
Another wonderful how-to! If there's any doubt how to eat, both in public and private, after all you owe your family at least as much as you do strangers, then read this book. From how to hold a fork and cut up food, to which fork to use this book lays out in style and with plenty of humor everything you need to know. There's even a section on family dining, at home, with children. I've found this series to be so enlightening and my friends, family and neighbors have noticed a big difference. I recommend this, even for those that believe they know what they're doing.
Favorite quote:
Wimpiness, along the lines of "Oh, do whatever makes you feel comforable," is part of what was destroying the very notionof etiquette's importance before Miss Manners charged in, armor clanking, to rescue it.
I really can't recommend this highly enough. There is so much wisdom here, so many "rules" that can keep from having to pull your foot out of your mouth. And there's the simple idea that manners are there as consideration for others.
There is even a section on children, how to teach them, how to treat them, and how they should behave in the cafeteria.
