🎀 Historically, the practice of keeping hands visible at the dining table, particularly in some European and French dining etiquette, has roots in safety and trustworthiness.
In medieval and Renaissance Europe, dining together was often a display of trust and goodwill. Keeping hands visible ensured that diners were not concealing weapons such as knives or daggers. 😳
While the direct threat of concealed weapons may have diminished in modern times, the traditions persists as a cultural norm that reflects values of trust and honesty.
🎀 Do you know which dining style demonstrates proper etiquette through the placement of wrists on the table? And can you find any other inconsistencies? 🧐
