Ironic examination of the books of etiquette and customs of eating and drinking, as communal eating is the central site of showing others our breading and finesse. SYNOPSIS The rules of correct behaviour found in books of etiquette present themselves as aiding communication and helping people understand each other. They also claim to help us engage socially with greater ease and self confidence. These rules are learnt from birth which is the only way for us to completely internalize them.
