Good Table Manners

i hate eating at formal dinners with multiple forks and when you have to put your napkin on your lap and everything has to be perfect ....no slurping your soup....with your best clothes on...that you worry about spilling something on.
my cousin works for the Federal Government and i went with him a few times to formal dinners with foreign diplomats and all that...fancy schmancy

i would rather stay home and eat a nice sammich in my kitchen with my hands and slurp my soup and burp when im done .....nothing like eating a nice dinner alone in your kitchen in your work clothes.

And the worse thing is you know everyone else feels the same as you, not even comfortable eating in a formal setting...the whole act of eating is in its very nature barbaric and meant to be enjoyed. Least that's my take on it.
