ating Foreign Food With Flair
The kimono-clad waitress bows slight-
ly and offers you a moist towel on a rat-
tan tray, Uncertainty sets in. Now what?
Moisten you mundible? Clean your clavi-
cle?
According* to Marjabelle Stewart,
mentor of manners for Ore-lda Foods,
the moist towels, called oshibori and
found in Japanese restaurants, are for
cleaning the hands before dining.
Mrs. Stewart is an expert on global
gobbling'ln good taste. She spent many
years among foreign dignitaries in
Washington, D C., teaching the elite to
eat with elan Working with the Chief of
Protocol, she advised families; who
would be traveling abroad in an official
capacity, on the proper manners for all
kinds of occasions with a foreign flavor.
According*to Mrs. Stewart, author of
several etiquette books, ethnic etiquette
isn't only for the elite, however Along
with those who breakfast in Belgium,
lunch, ifWrtberia and sup in Spain, are
millions who are discovering the
delights of dining with a foreign flair in
their own home towns. The ethnic eatery
is the place lo lie seen. ''And.” says Mrs
Stewart" ''youIf feel md£CcomfeMa'61eif"'
you're seen partaking prpperly. What’s
polite In Poughkeepsie could be rude in
Rumania.”

it is considered correct to. hold the rice

fish knife. The short, flat flork has three plate and work your way in. Your dinner
large tines. The wide, tapered knife is fork will be removed with your dinner
excellent for removing fish bones. , t
Another Dutch specialty is a potato
spoon which is round'with a lip on each
side - so designed to keep the potatoes
from falling onto the table. Mns, Stewart
would like to see the potato spoon used in
this country “No one should chance
dropping an Ore-lda Tater Tot,” she
said.
In Ethiopia, as in other Arab coun-*
tries, one eats from a communal pot with
the right hand. Since the left hand is used
for sanitary purposes, this custom is
adhered to strictly. Not too many years
ago, an Ethiopian who ate with his left
hand was punishatkhy having his right

Mother was strict I
Our own state of Hawaii also has a dish
eaten with fingers from a communal pot
poi. Poi is a gjutinious substance
plate. Your dinner knife should be left
resting on the small crystal or silver
knife holder and used again for the
cheese course.” * „
Even in a private home in France,
there may be three or four wine glasses
per person Mrs. Stewart says, “In a
French home it is considered rude to
leave wine in a glass. However, it is
perfectly permissible to signal the butler
that you’ve had enough.
"If you find yourself confused, watch
what your hostess does," advises Mrs.
Stewart, "and just follow her lead."
Course after course, the French meal
goes on. It is not unusual for the meal to
continue for 2' - hours. It is perfectly all
right to smoke between the courses -
cigarettes only, no cigars or pipes.
Following dinner in France, the guests
adjourn to the salon (living room) for

Mrs. Stewart reports that Continental
manners are being seen more and more
hete in the States. "It’s not at all
unusual." she says.' "to see diners
holding their forks in their left hands and
their knives in their right hands, and
eating with their left hands as they do in
Europe " Europeans also keep their
right hands on the table, at about wrist
length, instead of on their laps; which is
considered rude'

HOW MUCH DOES

One way to figure oht
how much various pieces of

That will give you a cost-
