When you eat, do you still use napkins, placemats and extra utensils apart from the basic spoon and fork? If yes, why do you still use them?

Yes, I do. It's a little of yesterday, and I like those days. I even put out candles or fresh flowers time to time.

Hi margieanneart! Thank you for posting in several of my threads! I appreciate it. And it's nice to know that there's someone out there who still places candles and flowers on the table during meals. Do you do that even on ordinary days?

Are those napkins commercial (like tissues) or the basic cloth with probably a small and sweet embroidery on the side?

Well, if I'm eating at home I prefer only the usual types of utensils like spoon and fork. But as a typical 'pinoy', I love to eat with my bare hands, I feel more comfortable and more at home!;)
I only use table napkins, placemats and others when I dine out or when I'm in a special occassion or a celebration to attend at.

at home, we still use placemats and coasters on the table whenever we are eating. it has been a habit and it also lessens the chores after eating like cleaning the table. my mother doesn't want stains on her table cloth so it is required that we use these items aside from the usual spoon and fork.

Yes, I still use these things. I use napkins to wipe my mouth of leftover food, I use place mats so that I won't soil the table cloth and extra utensils such as a teaspoon for dessert so that different taste of food won't mix in my tongue. And I love to look at a beautiful table setting.
