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.

Do you have good manners? How can you tell?
I think I have good manners, but it is hard to tell how other people see you. I think the main way to tell if you have good manners is to be self-aware enough to tell what's expected of you in whatever situation you're in. Which can be subjective, but the basics (please, thank you, not talking with your mouth full) are always a good place to start.
