Good table manners?

Re: Good table manners?

^ I can't see myself eating pizza with my hands at a formal office dinner. Well perhaps if I am at the table with a bunch of other middle management blokes, that might slide but not if you are sharing a table with the GMs and the CEO. Which is why I despise super-formal gatherings.

I think making sounds using the fork & spoon is considered bad manners as well. Also, when mixing sugar in tea the tan-tan-tan sound is also not decent.

^ Thats a bunch of bologna Mirch Unless I am personally invited by the Queen of England and the dinner will be followed by a ceremony admitting me into the royal family, I am not putting myself through that kind of torment.

Queen of England is not going to invite you anyway. They have high standards as to who they invite.
You are good for eating cholay roti sitting on a manji any way. So am I . If I am invited for a dinner by Her Majesty the Queen of England I will excuse myself , because I do not even own a dinner jacket and do not believe in renting clothes.
I just wanted to give a taste of real table manners to the snobs of this thread.

You wouldn't really have pizza at a formal office dinner in the first place.

^ LOL man perhaps you would know my workplace better, but we've had pizza at office dinners. Its like its there, but you know you have to eat it with a knife and a fork because of the corporate big shots sharing tables with you. These things are just understood.

Fair enough, it's just that when you say 'formal' dinners pizza isn't the thing that comes to mind.
