When I first saw The Rituals of Dinner (395.54 VIS), I thought that this book was just another ettiquette book like those done by Emily Post. I was wrong; this one is actually interesting to read. It's not stuffy at all.
Author Margaret Visser gives us a good history of eating, everything from ancient Greeks to cannibalism to contemporary formal dinners.
Considering the bad behavior by some diners, there are a lot of people who should read this book.
