Do you ALWAYS eat ALL of your vegetables?

Yes, unless they are overcooked and mushy. I was lucky to marry a "farm boy" and learn that vegetables didn't just come from a can!

I'll eat them as long as they're reasonably fresh and prepared well (not overcooked, not swimming in sauce or oil, etc.)
Actually, I'll eat anything if it's reasonably fresh and prepared well.

Boy yes, I love vegetables, I really like food! Even my own cooking. It always pains me to see the wast of food many people in restaurants throw away. Or watch them play in their food.
Have you noticed: the differences of how people hold their flat ware? They will first cross hands and cut their meat with the left hand knife, then cross over and eat the meat with their now exchanged fork, then repeat the process of crossing over each time.

I think I've seen it. I like it. I've noticed also people cut the meat with a knife and then put the knife away to continue with a fork only. To me it is all a sign of lessening the rigid rules of "how to properly behave at the table" Also it used to be that fork belongs to the left hand and knife to the right. I see people mixing it up more.

To me it is all a sign of lessening the rigid rules of "how to properly behave at the table" Also it used to be that fork belongs to the left hand and knife to the right. I see people mixing it up more. This is a difference between European and American styles (and table manners). European: fork in left hand, knife in right versus American: fork in right hand, but if you have to use a knife, the knife in right hand, fork in left, then switch to eat with fork in right. The first time I went to Europe, I enjoyed the novelty of having the fork in my left hand, and using the knife to pile the peas into the mashed potatoes, and then not have to switch the fork over, but put it upside down into my mouth. If I had done that at home, my mother would have swatted me! |
