When did manners start?
Table manners go back to the 1600's . In the Middle Ages people didn't use plates to eat off but thick slices of bread or a slab of wood that could be pretty gross with bits of food and maggots . These were called trenchers. The fork and spoon were invented in the Middle Ages and people often carried them with them to use. The Middle Age court meals were rather a crude event. Food was thrown on the floor to the dogs while people ate several courses and combined with the rushes, food, dogs, and other things on the floor it would be pretty stinky. The rushes were shoveled out about twice a year. The Elizabethan court began to introduce manners , but by Victoria they were in full use. The Victorian table was very strict and this included where people sat at the table. A stranger could come into a household and know the status of each person by where they were sitting at the table. Manners and the use of different utensils for the different courses was very strict.
Where do table manners come from?
Good question. There are various origins.First of all, table manners in the middle ages (in europe) were spelt out in inns and taverns where those sharing food at the same table were told what (not) to do in order to make sure each customer got his share.At a later stage, table manners became refined (esp with the invention of elaborate cutlery and table wear). Then stress was laid on inoffensive behaviour (such as: you should not wipe your mouth with a part of the table cloth).Later still (and since only the rich could afford richly laid tables) these manners trickled down onto the upper middle class, then the lower middle class and eventually onto the upper and lower working class, losing bits and pieces on the way.Some table manners have to do with basic hygiene such as washing your hands, or with safety: you should not lick a knife.Nowadays, with the world being multicultural and intercultural exchanges, table manners have to be learnt depending on where you are and which cultures you will meet in order not to offend the people you visit.Adding to that: table manners have evolved also using what was available or what was logical. cutlery wasn't available in the ancient far east, but wood was. so chop-sticks were used. the same for countries like saudi arabia where nothing much was available, except your own hands, so eating with your (right) hand was the norm there. from there table manners evolved further: where to put your chop-sticks, which hand to use when eating (not your left one, but the right one only), ...
