The Rituals of Dinner
The Origins, Evolution, Eccentricities and Meaning of Table Manners
Book - 1991
With an acute eye and an irrepressible wit, Margaret Visser takes a fascinating look at the way we eat our meals. From the ancient Greeks to modern yuppies, from cannibalism and the taking of the Eucharist to formal dinners and picnics, she thoroughly defines the eating ritual.
"Read this book. You'll never look at a table knife the same way again."--The New York Times.
