No I wouldn't try it for etiquette's sake. I agree with you that most people don't think twice before attempting self-service at public gatherings. I used to attend a Nigerian church in London and I must say you guys are good at 'food parties' not snacks so I witnessed some of the behaviour you mentioned in your article. &lt;BR/&gt;I think it's either due to lack of proper upbringing, African culture or the long speeches given on such occasions. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;My best trick is to eat before I attend any party, avoid mixing up foods that don't blend and that egg salad can be a disaster, if you eat it then please don't eat anything else. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Immaculate Birungi</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4667897635405066470/6994269628699844908/comments/default/7549276294975661741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4667897635405066470/6994269628699844908/comments/default/7549276294975661741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.etiquettebank.com/2008/09/item-number-7-scramble-for-food.html?showComment=1222172340000#c7549276294975661741' title=''/><author><name>Immaculate</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.etiquettebank.com/2008/09/item-number-7-scramble-for-food.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667897635405066470.post-6994269628699844908' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4667897635405066470/posts/default/6994269628699844908' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1411145089'/></entry></feed>
