European etiquette is the result of the major Royal families competing with each other to appear 'more refined'. The Russian Tsars (RIP) won and set the ultimate standard. A good proportion of the working class (including my grandmother) were 'in service' to their Lords and Masters and aped their manners in the hope that their offspring would 'obtain a better position in society'. Debretts is the international guide to etiquette and 'table manners' are available online. The American way of using their knife and fork is inefficient and weird considering their idea of a meal is to shovel it down as fast as possible rather than enjoy a relaxed feast with conversation. However, a 'refined' European will never object nor complain about the eating habits of foreign visitors; rather, they will observe the manners of their visitor and attempt to copy them to make them feel comfortable. There is a well known story of Margaret Tebbit, paralysed by a bomb attack, attending a State Banquet. Prince Philip, famous for his faux pas, discarded his cutlery and ordered the following courses to be made into 'finger food'; that is how you treat a guest! I still recall the first time as a teenager I was invited to an evening meal at my 'middle class' friend's home. His mother asked if 'Fish and Chips was OK'; expecting greasy stodge from the local chippy I was pleasantly surprised by nicely cooked breaded plaice and perfect potato chips. There followed a standoff; he was aware that I came from a 'working class' environment and waited for me to start eating whilst I, being taught exquisite manners by my aforementioned grandmother, waited for him to start.

I love that you've met up with people who've been able to drive you around! They've also been able to guide you around the complexities of tea making and show that some like mushy peas and others don't!! Reading the comments, once the holiday/vacation vids are over, I challenge you to learn the UK way of using cutlery/silverware!! No hate, but the US way really does look awkward!!

Nooooooooooo…….you dodged the Black Pudding!!! Suppose I’ll have to wait till the Edinburgh video then. I thought you might have joined up with some fell runners and done some fell running. Running up and down those hills a few times will build your stamina up! That was typical Lake District weather but glad it wasn’t too foggy/rainy so you couldn’t see anything! Your cousin and her husband look lovely and you looked very at home in their company. I understand how tiring travelling can be, especially when you have to keep changing trains at different stations to get a connection but once you reached your destination all your stresses seemed to fade away. Totally loving going on this daily journey with you and Will. Bring on Edinburgh tomorrow!😎👍🏼

Round my neck of the woods (Sheffield) mushy peas isn't just an accompaniment to fish and chips, it also goes with meat and potato pie - and Henderson's Relish of course. It also often appears as one of the veg choices with a Sunday roast. Corned Beef in the UK isn't the same as Corned Beef in the US, in a sandwich it's probably better with some tomato on it or a smearing of brown sauce.

Whenever I have had the chance to visit the English Lakes it has days which seem to cover all four seasons' weather inside 24 hours. Wordsworth and the other Lakeland poets garnered so much inspiration from the mists, the grey hills, and the juxtaposition of water, mountains, and ancient history. I think you might enjoy the movie Miss Potter, which includes a lot of great footage of the area whilst covering the affinity between the authoress of so many children's books and her love of the district. My youngest son has often said that the friendliness of the people of the area when his band played at the Keswick Music Festival one year was so overwhelming and honest that he and his 12-year old band mates stayed on for a whole week at local people's homes. It's great seeing it vicariously now through you two great youth ambassadors for your country.
