We always did the boiling water thing...the fur or feathers fall right off.

When I was very young we would say grace before dinner. But that stopped around 4 or 5. The only time grace was said after was on Thanksgiving when there were lots of family at the big table. Us kids had to eat on little card tables away because the "Adults" were talking. Ahhh the good old days growing up.

Doing well with your second language, though.

Given the many, many links to "American" style eating etiquette that all say the same thing, and decades of American sitcoms and films showing the same thing, and the fact that the styles are defined as "American" and "Continental", one can only assume one of two things - either the whole of the internet and entertainment is wrong, or, and hear me out - Stumpy and AO were not bought up properly - by American standards....

Well, both have been reduced to inventing and spreading paedo comments online while furious, so that is definitely clear. Some people just have no morals, integrity or a sense of right and wrong, passed down and down and down through raising practices, no doubt. An absolute forking shame, if you ask me.

It's just food you know. I have a fork, I have a knife. I use them. Same with a spoon for soup. Not really complicated. However apparently some can't eat unless it's proper etiquette which was decided by who. The English? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ya know ED Eddie. You seem oddly obsessed with this to the point I suggest counseling. Maybe talk to Mao. He was such a stand up guy. He might have some insight for you.

So - y'all think the "American" dining etiquette was decided by - the English????

You may need to give that a bit more thought. Hint: The answer is in the name.....

Gotta be honest Nid. Until this odd pea on the back of the forth stuff started I didn't care and quite frankly, still don't. You have a fork, you have a knife. You have a spoon. However you use them to eat your meal is perfectly fine with me as long as the person isn't stabbing their steak.

^ Seems reasonable...

The way some chittys cook their steak I think stabbing it would break the knife.

It certainly gives me a good ol' laugh anytime I think of it.

That and AO's red repo meltdown thread.


Why on Earth some people get so upset with Eddo McCheddo I have no idea.

Well. I do not think anyone is upset with you. You should get over yourself Mao. You set the stage, you did what you did back in the day. Don't forget that just because you change your nic and avatar on TD that it absolves you from the past. There is no etch-a-sketch for that Eddie.

You were and are plainly upset by ao's alleged PM.

But you think you're The Fonz and nobody else is too cool for school.

It suggests you're kind of insecure and over-compensating.

Given that's it's an Insta-Ban offence, that it was gut-laughed at rather than reported, puts heed to that crazy theory.

The only thing I've ever set is the table, with the forks in the correct position, M'Lud.



(Edit: is 'puts heed to' the correct term? )

While I suspect this will all get cleaned up, I agree with Cyrilles post. Mao has a lot of history with his marginal posts and content. Some of us long time members remember them. He got called on them and then came the Nic changes. Again blatantly against TD rules but some how allowed. He got outed on every new nic but as I said, that doesn't erase the past. Now ol ED Eddie is all reborn again. New moral compass. Drinking Holistic Teas after a serious sickness bout and seems that his past night be haunting him a bit and exhibits serious signs of insecurity.

Many on here know the history. Those darn Skeletons.

Half-baked theories about all sorts o' crazy stuff served with dinner this evening.

The flip side to that argument is the knife would kill some of the raw steaks on here.

Anyhow, I can safely say I'm the only one here with proper soup spoons.

You are all uncultured heathens!
