eating etiquette wtf do you have a shitting etiquette video

[Sarandib22]

I CANNOT sip my soup from the side of the spoon. It runs around the edges of my mouth. Is it because your average soup spoon is made oblong for the average eater who puts it in their mouth front-first? Are formal dining spoons shaped differently?

Also, I can't "sip" the chunks in my soup, like the potatoes and veggies and stuff. I'm assuming then that the kind of soup you'd be served formally is very thin? Anyone know?

Thanks. :)

@Sarandib22 Wrong implement. Better to slurp from the cup than use a shovel. . Do what you like, unless you have a hankering for brown-nosing the middle-class.

[TheBeebopper]

@TheBeebopper She is reffering more to a gruel than a soup. Yes, the spoon has a circular bowl. This "soup" is usually used as a starter to help fill you up because there isn't enough meat for the main course. There's no chunks in it, because they scraped the plates clean at the table yesterday. If it's a main course soup (not very middle-class) use the shovel like every other labourer.

[gracie15888]

[luigifan470]

i don't care too much about etiquette, but as long as i don't look like a total slob, its okay

[c1nicolei]

Manners are great, but this is rediculous. People like this think that their crap does not stink. People are starving all over the world and these pretentious people have a cow over using the wrong fork!!!!! Dear Lord!

[Gutsyndicate]

some of these is kinda gay, what about men? if man eats his soup like that in jail, he gonna get raped.

[vistaprime]

[LanceDaPsycho]

[vistaprime]

question, if you are given a pasta fork to roll your spaghetti, which hand do you hold the spoon and where do you place the spoon when done? 10:20 with the fork and knife? and can you switch back to fork and pasta spoon or only use one? thanks!!!

[bryerocks]
