French etiquettes.

There are loads and loads of them. If I were to sit and have lunch on the same table as that of a French family, I'd sure want to keep a rule book open. Let me now enlighten you.

• Never open your mouth while chewing your food.
• Never open your mouth while eating.
• Never talk with something in your mouth.
• ALWAYS sit straight and eat.
• Once you serve yourself some water, make sure you ask everyone on the table for the same. EVERYONE. Otherwise you're just rude. Raph said he actually remains thirsty sometimes.
• Always use a fork and a knife. Even if you're eating crabs. Yes.
• If you want to leave the table, be courteous and ask for permission. "Je peux quitter sil te plait?"
  

These are just a few, but also the principle ones. There are extremely minimal chances of my survival there. But that doesn't bring any change in my excitement levels. Woohhhhooooo!


And notice in the picture how when everyone is being well mannered and sophisticated, Raph is letting years of frustration out. :D
