I wasn't born in America (I'm Indian -- I'm used to eating rice with my bare hands) -- never ate American food, thus I have no table manners.
Where/how do I learn them? I've tried to read some internet articles and such but that didn't help me -- I'm still quite messy with my handling of fork and knife (and not very knowledgeable about what to say when and how ("pass me that that dish over there please?")
- calbear81 14y agoI would say the best way is through careful social observation. Put yourself in many different types of situations and observe the unspoken "rules" around mannerisms. Try and eat at different restaurants, attend a ball game, go to the opera, join a meetup -- each one of these different scenarios will help you learn and grow.
