Re: 2: I didn't mean is she FOB--I know she's not--just whether she has good table manners. Some people are just pigs regardless of where they were born and there can be surprises.

I have exacting standards and was raised strictly at the table - my dad had zero patience for bad table manners. With the exception of fried eggs, a solid 8.5 now.

btw lately my #1 pet peeve at shabbat meals is savage jews who SLIDE food from the serving plate to their plate, thereby getting food all over the side of the serving plate. use the fucking serving utensil to scoop out what you want.

Lol you should see my dad. He is absolutely disgusting. He’s also old now so drooling is also common. Talks with his mouth full, slurps his noodles, the works.
My mom was raised in an “intellectual” household and raised me to have good table manners. I’m probably a 10 when eating Chinese food with Chinese people, 8 all other cuisine, 7 when eating Japanese cuisine (not as graceful with the sushi).

We need to get to the bottom of this behavior. They apparently don't know that the food can complete the final 1/8" of the journey without violently sucking at it.

lol, ty.
The biggest thing for me--I've learned to tune out the slurping and turn on background music--is touching the food with saliva-smeared chopsticks. I think my wife said something to them because they've mostly stopped doing it except for my FIL who forgets sometimes - will ignore the serving spoon / chopsticks and dig right in there for the eggplant with the chopsticks that have been in his mouth. It's disgusting. I won't eat any more of the dish once I've seen it (and I monitor closely).
