I have a manners question: is it considered better manners to bring the food to the mouth or inclining the mouth toward the food?
I was taught that you sit up straight and lean in towards the edge of the table just enough so that your chin is over the edge of the table. That way, if something should fall off the fork or spoon on the way to your mouth, it lands on the plate (or table), and not in your lap. But do not bend your body and face down to your plate.
