How To Be Civilized, Friday, Period 3

[1000yearstoolate]

"This week we're going to have an easy class," Seivarden said, smiling at the students. "This might seem like a silly thing, but as I know most people on the island have a problem with it, I felt it needed to be adressed."

She gestured at a table where food has been arranged, a selection similar to what you would find at a Fandom picnic. Mainly finger food.

"Never, ever, eat food with bare hands. Not even with a knife and fork of course, but definitely not finger food. There's cutlery available, although of course you can eat pastries with your hands, but don't stain your gloves like a five year old."

Looking around the classroom, Seivarden continued: "Well, that should be easy enough. And of course there's tea for you all."

Someone should warn her.

"Then you bring your own cutlery, or at least wear gloves in a colour where the stains won't be to obvious."

"So brown gloves, then?" Shuri mused, writing down some notes.

"It depends on the colour of the food," Seivarden said.

At least she was paying attention.

"So this is something that staff should figure out in advance, then, to match your gloves to the food being served," Shuri said. "Ethiopian cuisine has a lot of red sauces because of the chilis, so...red gloves there, I suppose."

"Exactly," Seivarden said. "You could also ask the staff to provide you with suitable gloves."
