Re: Indian restaurant etiquette
Rather a lot of criticism on this thread.It would be interesting if it could be extended to include the question of how you hold your knife: the handle in the palm with the index finger on top of the spine of the blade, or the handle in the crook of the thumb like a pen.
That could cause some disagreement, I'm sure.
I know the 'correct' way (the way the Queen does it and, incidentally, how I do it), but I'm not saying anything yet!

Some old friends of ours hold their knives like a pen, though I wouldn't dream of criticising them of course. There are far more important things in life and, after all, I would never claim to be perfect.
Then again...
