the dh can't stand for his hands to have anything with an ick factor on his

the table and when dinner is over he immediately washes his hands before we

In some cultures eating with hands is the accepted norm. For the most
part I use a knife and fork but for tossed salad I use hands (coleslaw
not, lol). While I don't eat like a pig I also am not overly fond of
"etiquette" which is an ever-changing set of rules set down by
"society".

when i was a small child, one grandmother taught me how to make lye soap and
squirreell and dumplings, the other taught me what all 24 peices of a silver
setting were for... when discussing eating/behaving in public, i always
return to gramdmother #2's advice...
-never be loud
-never be rude
-never be messy
-never go anywhere where these might be needed to insure safety...

In my house:
don't double dip
don't nick food off someone else's plate
no slurping!

Unfortunately Jasmine does all 3 Actually she more than double dip,
she dips every bite! But she has her own sauce, lol.

for young kids' parties I always place a little sauce on each plate if
they want sauce. Some kids like mayo for party food and one kid at one
of my girls' 6th birthday party wanted hot English mustard! lol. My 3
year old granddaughter likes soy sauce with sushi but she opens the
little fishy shaped container of it that you get with sushi takeaway and
drinks it before she eats, lol.

If I do dip or sauce, everyone gets their own. I have some little
containers.

I have never eaten ribs and just never would. They look so disgustingly
greasy and messy.

Some years ago we had our annual Christmas party at work at what was
supposed to be a fancy restaurant/hotel in Lynnwood. It was a semi-formal
event so we were all very shocked when one of the food options was ribs!
Who wants to buy a new dressy outfit just to have it ruined with greasy
sauce? They didn't even provide bibs or hand wipes. And yes a few people
just couldn't resist the ribs. I can't remember what I ordered. I don't
recall it being bad but it certainly wasn't the caliber of food one would
have expected for the price we had to pay for dinner!

To top it all off, the entertainment that we had booked had canceled. It
was either a band or a DJ. Can't remember which. But the hotel said they
had a pianist who just happened to be staying there and he had graciously
stepped in to offer entertainment. Well... He was horrible! The piano
playing wasn't too bad. Would have been okay maybe if he just stuck with
that. But he decided to sing. And that was one thing he wasn't very
talented with. My date commented to the table that he'd bet the guy was on
the road a lot. And just then he began playing and singing, "Oh The Road
Again"! We all busted out laughing. That was the highlight of the evening.
We all cut out after that and met up at some other bar.

"Storrmmee" > wrote in message

My husband once took me to one of those restaurants in Reno or Las Vegas. I
can't remember which place. It was at the Excalibur. My parents had
already warned me about the place and said I would hate it.

Outside the restaurant was a juggler who was very lousy at what he was
doing. He was actually working there as entertainment! My husband taught
him to juggle. And even with the lesson, my husband can still juggle
better. He can actually do assorted items of varying weights. But I
digress.

This place did allow you the beverage of your choice, be it Diet Coke, a
virgin Margarita, a beer or a cocktail. It was served in a pewter mug. A
similar place has opened near here and you only get the grog that they
serve. Probably not diabetic friendly. But I digress again.

No options for dinner. It was a Rock Cornish Game Hen, a small whole baked
potato with no toppings, and a dinner roll with no butter. There may have
been some sort of other veggie offered but if there was it was something I
dislike. And there as a dessert that I also dislike. I just remember
trying to eat the potato. I find I have to at least have salt on a potato
or else I don't like it.

I have never been able to eat a Rock Cornish Game Hen. My mother was fond
of serving them but I don't know why. It was bad enough picking meat off
with a fork when I was a kid and pretending to eat it. There was no way I
was going to pick it up like we were supposed to do at this restaurant and
rip into it with my teeth. No silverware was supplied and the food was just
set in front of you on the wooden whatever it was. Not exactly a table.
People sat in tiers with this big wooden counter in front of them.

All around me people were ripping into the hens. I could hear the bones
cracking and smell the meat. I wanted to cry. I had to sit there with my
head down, trying not to breathe very much with my eyes closed. I actually
had tried to tell the waitress not to give me the food because I certainly
wasn't going to eat it. But she said she had to serve me.

Things only got worse after dinner. There was some sort of stupid jousting
match held down below with real horses, actresses and actors. We were each
assigned, based on where we were seated to a jouster and we were supposed to
cheer them on by shouting, "Huzzah!" while we raised our fists into the air.
Well I was not a willing participant in this at all. It was clearly all
scripted and I have never been much of a cheerer to start with.

Not my idea of a good time at all.

When the place near here opened, my brother sent me an e-mail about it. I
was like... You have GOT to be kidding! He said he thought I might like
it. Uh, no.

if they are made correctly they are very nice, but slopped all up with sauce
is pretty unattractive, sauce if used should be vry minimal, have been to
more than one "dinner" where its a competition between the prize for bad
food or bad entertainment, lol, Lee

In a few years??? She has been the nightmare child almost all her life
Her mother gave me the greatest angst for so many years, lol. They
lived with us all of last year and she would throw these massive
tanties. One of us would carry her into the bedroom and let her calm
down by herself. Eventually she would take herself to the bedroom after
first starting a tanty, then realising that if she didn't go we would
take her, lol.

Oh yes but also the most divine things if covered i bbq sauce I only
really like pork ribs but will eat beef or lamb under sufferance

the female singer was quite old and had the most awful voice. The kids
of course just loved the music, they are a country band, and the main
thing is that the kids thought it was all wonderful.

I have an extreme dislike for BBQ sauce. And pork. The only pork I can eat
is crisply cooked bacon. Any other form is just too fatty or yucky to me.

I haven't ever been big on the sauce, i do like a thin coating on ribs and
porksteaks put on just at the last to crisp up with the fat, i also like it
generous on shredded pork o r beef, but mostly i like a good sauce on the
side to dip. Lee

can't see it, but this is always intersting to me, same meat, pretty much
same cooking method, a zillion sauces and a zillion preferences in how to
eat the meat/sauce... iribs are definitely an individual taste, Lee

It was enough sauce to cover without it dripping.

that is closer to what i like, i prefer them cooked without sauce, then at
the last minute the sauce brushed on so it gets crispy with the fat, covered
is fine, but thin and not dripping... Lee

I eat as much with my hands as possible, much to purists' consternation. I
figure that if sighted folks can see their food, I should be able to touch it
discretely, especially since my hands are washed.

I wouldn't save the greens for last, preferring to mix bites as much as
possible.

If it's lightly dressed, I still use my hands, but not in public because it
freaks people out.

Why not? I think most people would tolerate you eating chicken and ribs with
your hands if you prefer it. I wish people would be less culturally snobbish
about table manners. When I was growing up, I was taught to use a knife and
fork with impeccable precision and hated nearly every second. Now that I'm an
adult, I want to eat as efficiently and pleasurably as possible.

Orlando

effecceincy is part of my issue, and honestly my artheritis also plays in...
i can do the "proper" thing but it makes eating a lot less enjoyable. Lee

lol Lee

the local Co-Op used to have $1.49 day once a month

this meant good deals and I used to 'stock up' on the non-perishable
items.......... as did most other members of our city

kidlet was closing in on 2 years old, and on this particular day, the
line ups were 8 FULL carts in every one of the 12 tills they had
up....... and they weren't moving hugely quickly either

kidlet lost it, stood up and started to scream at the top of his lungs

i repeated, please sit down and be quiet
i attempted to sit him down
i gave him a fruit roll up to fill his mouth so he wouldn't scream

he continued to scream

there was a young couple right behind me commenting, i turned around and
said "I hope this isn't putting you off having kids, he's not like this
for the most part!"

they grinned from ear to ear and said, "We have just made a decision to
NOT have children."

then there were the folks who felt i should beat him into submission
and the folks who felt i should NOT have attempted to sit him in the
cart properly

ya can't please all of the people all of the time!

kate

yup, pork baby back ribs, 1/2 rack or whole rack, YUM

they aren't fatty either, like some other folks here, i've never been
able to eat the fat on meat........ ok, a touch here and there, say in
prime rib, but i'm forever trimming off the fat on meats...... the gall
bladder appreciates my efforts

Lee, I order "easy on the sauce" and get the ribs the way you are describing

occassionally 'easy' is still 4 times what i want.......... in those
situations, i scrape the excess sauce onto a side plate and dig into the
ribs (with my fingers!)
