My grandmother, who was raised by her very elderly aunts (actual Victorians) was more my role model than my hippie mom (nothing against that she was just wild and I was quiet). I was trained to fairly Victorian manners by my grandmother who was a career artist and kept a beautiful home from the 40s to the early 90s. My grandfather was a physics professor and a dean. I loved the propriety of their household.. oh the books(!) and all the beautiful antiques from my grandmother's aunts Victorian homes :)

There is a beauty to proper manners. It is, after all, a way of showing respect. I think what really is lacking in our generation is respect. Respect for the food, respect for the cook, etc. Throw it in the microwave, eat from the carton...not exactly elegant.

My grandmother taught me table etiquette. Ironically, it was actually fun learning because I realized the importance & value behind the methodology and even at a young age. Additionally, I remember as I grew older and got my first job when I was cleaning up the fast food restaurant lobby that to my chagrin and shock some people left behind all kinds of messes. It was annoying to clean up after these heathens. I used to think were they raised in a barn & I wonder if they eat like this in their own homes too? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. I learned real fast regardless of someone's social status that some people lack proper etiquette. I always took pride in making sure the lobby was impeccably clean because whether or not anyone is noticing you ALWAYS want to do your best at anything you pursue. As long as table manners and other etiquette is taught, and people are willing to learn & put it into practice, then of course I think it's as relevant today as it was in Mrs. Post's time. Manners AND class are good values that are timeless; they transcend SES & help to maintain order and help to avoid bad behavior and hurt feelings.

Emily Post came from a world most of us would never have encountered - Fifth Avenue balls, high society galas, wealth and privilege. Hence the table settings, behavior, etc. relate primarily to more formal meals rather than a simple middle class family gathering ("those households without a maid"). Some of the points are universal - blowing your nose in front of everyone like you're playing a trumpet - but the proper use of the finger bowl is a point most of us can skip.
@karenburrows9184

Aadamtx: I agree; but if you have been taught the formal rules of dining, it is an easy matter to accomodate a simple meal. The reverse, however, is not true. Having said that, I find I am no longer putting out butter and fish knives, or the full compliment of glasses (let alone finger bowls) when setting my table for guests; so there is the point that a very formal table can make your guests uncomfortable these days.....

The book also included wonderful advice on how to address many kinds of people in person or in correspondence--just in case you might meet the Pope or an ambassador. And that edition also had advice on hiring servants, and how to outfit them with appropriate clothes.

My parents put great emphasis on table manners. My grandparents were from Scotland and very Victorian/Edwardian. So, if my parents missed anything, my grandparents were right there to correct it. At an early age my brothers and sisters knew how to take tea, have a formal meal with numerous dishes, and silverware as well as glasses. My dad kept a sharp eye on all of us at the table, and when I had friends from school stay for dinner he would nonchalantly watch them as well. We were very at ease dinning out and actually astounded waiters/ waitress' with ordering, using multiple silverware and glasses. It was all a big payoff, as I would attend numerous formal dinners in Boston at the finer hotels, and I felt like I was sitting at my own dinning room table. I still have my dads sharp eye for manners when out dining. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Table Manners (1947) 1000am 16.5.23 i have never been out for a meal so i have no concept of table etiquette and would, a la tony montana, come across as a bit of a lag in that respect. i would certainly go out for a meal with this young lady as she doesn't seem too happy about the food she's being forced to eat or cogitate upon. in that she would be more than pleased to order the food of her choosing and that would make for a very amiable meal and after dinner chin wag - irrespective of my lax table manners.

This is a very American way of table manners. In Europe it is simply not done to only use the fork while eating and leaving the knife aside. Also the silverware is placed waaaay to far from the plates. But I guess table manners and table settings are somewhat dependent on times, places and culture ;-) .

A simple sneeze or to dab a nose is one thing but of course if you want to really have a good long blow then best to excuse yourself to another room. This is my take on Australian manners anyway. Many communities are now varied in cultural diversity and it is best to take queues from your hosts. It is their event. As hosts they will do their best to make you comfortable. Guests in turn should be respectful and appreciative of the hospitality given them by their hosts.

And then use your finger bowl as a miniature bidet and place it under your butt and dab your fingers in it and gently splash your butt with the clean water then pat dry with the clean side of your napkin. Then place your napkin clean side up on your plate so no-one will know you had an unforseen accident. Then go on with your next meal course...…….and of course be sure to ask for a clean napkin,,,,,it`s only good manners.

Oh, Liz, thanks - I was hoping someone would mention 'those' people. I was always taught it is extremely bad manners to suggest alteration to a hostess' meal menu. My mother said: if you're a vegetarian, eat the vegetables served; likewise don't eat the bread if you're gluten intolerant. It is the responsibility of the guest to make the best of the meal they are served as it is not a restaurant, but the home of an honoured friend; who asked you there for your company. As for people who invite themselves or other people; these people are abusing the hostess' friendship. The hostess has every right to refuse extra guests for a planned meal. On the other hand, if you know one of your guests is, say, gluten-intolerant, and you have planned Italian food, it is gracious to try to provide an alternative meal for that guest; and usually greatly appreciated. No guest worth their salt would suggest such a change, however. Let me know if you've had the same experience.

What all you disrupters who leave the table don't realize is that blowing the nose is sometimes an unavoidable bodily function, like breaking wind, and the proper mannerly response is to ignore it as if it never happened. It is much worse to leave the table except in the case of a real emergency.
