“Spaghetti: Wind too many strands on the fork and make sure at least two strands dangle down. Open your mouth wide and stuff in spaghetti; suck noisily to inhale the dangling strands. Clean plate, ask for seconds, and eat only half. When carrying your plate to the kitchen, hold it tilted so the remaining spaghetti slides off and onto the floor.”
This and other excellent dining advice comes from novelist, screenwriter, and national treasure, Delia Ephron (1944– ). Ephron’s etiquette guide is not strictly limited to the kitchen, however. You’ll also find tips on how to watch television (and how to watch more television), how to laugh hysterically, how to talk on the phone, how to wait, how to act after being sent to your room, and how to sleep, etc. Sound, silly advice for all ages.
Our copy is a Very Good Plus paperback (8” x 5”, 117 pages), clean and unmarked. Black and white illustrations by Edward Koren.
