What do you like about this subject?  I have always been interested in having fun with other people. Civility and respect go a long way in accomplishing this. I have studied this for many years and find that politeness makes for a gentler world.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I am actually interested in the origins of these traditions. I hope to learn how to help other people appreciate this as well. Learning about other cultures is fascinating.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  When passing condiments or vegetable dishes or bread baskets around the table, do so in a counter clockwise direction.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Remember to show respect to those who serve you. That respect will be returned many times over. The reverse is absolutely true too.
