I hate dining etiquette. It's a fancy way of saying "doing something a specific way because that's the way everyone else does it". Groupthink at it's highest. I eat whatever way is best suited for the meal.
Still, I eat with proper European table manners, because it's all we have left. Without that, it would be total anarchy! We might as well wear trousers on our heads and wear baguettes for shoes!
What's next? Wearing a neck tie on a shirt with buttons in the collar or - God forbid! - with short sleeves?! gags at the idea
