Reseña del editor:

Teaches the rules of eating in good company, from setting a proper table to negotiating the cheese topping on French onion soup to dealing with a screaming baby in a restaurant

Nota de la solapa:

day, three or more times, yet the skill of taking nourishment properly has all but disappeared from our society. We are afflicted with fear of forks and baffled by the sight of more than one plate before us on the table. Blame it on the demise of the family dinner or the advent of "do your own thing, many of us have never learned, or have simply forgotten, the rules for eating in civilized company.

In her fabulously witty style, Miss Manners reacquaints us with the proper use of implements for navigating nourishment from plate to mouth and gives specific, practical advice on all manner of mealtime issues:
Serving takeout food
How to fillet a fish, pound (pop open) a crab, and cope with the mysteries of the mango, the artichoke, a thick, juicy steak, and that long stringy glop of cheese atop French onion soup
Safely feeding children in restaurants
Place cards and seating plans for dinner parties
Rules for vegetarians and other special cases
