Pick up her knife OP.

Point it towards her.

And suggest in a slightly sinister tone while squinting menacingly at her, that either she uses it - Or you will.

Pointing a knife at someone is defiantly bad table etiquette:)

How did she eat the mash?

What did she do with her fingers after, lick or suck them?

She wiped them on a napkin, which was fine.

With the knife and fork. I wasn't eyeballing her eating her food, it's just the whole grabbing of the broccoli was slightly distressing.

Distressing?

Running over a puppy is distressing! Watching a hot lady eat broccoli with her hands is not!

If you're affected by this i wouldn't advise you to watch jamie oliver cooking.

Yea exactly, cant see the big deal here at all. I fart at dinner all the time, it somehow smells better mixed with the smell of food. I also pick my nose at the table, it adds a bit of flavour to bland food like chicken:rolleyes:

distressing is a bit much in this context I think

Woooah there, we don't know she is hot.

How did she eat them OP, was there any element of sexy play eating going on? Lots of brocolli dangling in the air and suggestive movements with her gob? She might have been making very clumsy flirty manouevres?

suicide_circus · 01-10-2013 08:24PM

Say "i like the way you handle that broccoli" and raise one eyebrow.

this will get you laid, i guarantee it

Like to address any of my points about arbitrary etiquette? Any coherent arguments at all? No?
Didn't think so

Distressing for the brocolli.

WTF you talking about?

Peeps, things like eating, going to the toilet, having sex etc. are necessary functions of human life, but some people can be very sensitive around these issues. You have to use a certain amount of discretion when undertaking any of those activities. What some people may find delicious, like licking the custard off your bowl, or using certain sex toys, other people may find gross. Table etiquette is a standard way of ensuring that nobody gets grossed out, especially in public. You eat with cutlery where possible, to minimise mess. Simples. Its not about using the wrong spoon, or what you do in private at home, its about having a common code of respect for others when it comes to sensitive necessities. Seriously, this thread is like a class of high infants.

OP, while I wouldn't write this woman off for eating the veggies by hand, if I were you, she would certainly earn a few more points in my eyes if she had some basic table manners. I'd broach it casually next time she does it. Make sure its just the two of you, let her pick up her carrot, and say casually "hey, I noticed you doing that before, that's a mad way to eat veg, whats the story?"

Thanks Newmug, I get where you're coming from. I just don't think I can take the risk of it happening again. Maybe she was just nervous (or overly comfortable in my company to do such a thing), but I think it's better for her and me if I just tell her we shouldn't meet again.

A lot of etiquette is ridiculous when you think about it. "Oh how embarrassing! He's eating his dessert with a soup spoon! Oh the ignominy!"

I thanked your post primarily because I have now learned a new word.

I think in a restaurant you're kind of obligated to use the cutlery and as crazy as it sounds I would even extend that to burger, pizza or chips.

In a non fancy restaurant setting you may use your hands as you seem fit, like a chipper.

If I'm out for a meal with a lady and she starts scooping her mash into her mouth with her hands then it's pretty much a deal breaker in my book and I have dam low standards, disgustingly low.

Maybe try the ride before you dump her? Scooping mershed perderders with her hands may seem trivial afterwards!

You serious?

anncoates · 01-10-2013 09:47PM

She's into eating vegetables with no standards.

You're in there, OP.

Look up the word arbitrary. Explain why it's OK to eat one item of food with your hands but not another (unless we're talking about, say, soup)? In China they use chopsticks. In India they use no cutlery. Really, who in the right mind gives a ****?

In China, they use chopsticks when a fork or spoon would be a much better idea. Obstacles of social conventions and all that.

The OP clearly likes his women to titter at his puns and witticisms, and methinks that the lady doth chow down too much. Hell, if I saw a woman I was dating grab a stick of broccoli and nom nom nom on it, I'd be thinking happy thoughts about what might happen later that night...
