Presented by writer Rebecca Rupp, this talk lets attendees find out about the rocky evolution of table manners, the not-so-welcome invention of the fork, the awful advent of portable soup, and the surprising benefits of family dinners – plus some catchy info on seasonal foods. What's the story of chocolate? Why do the Irish eat corned beef and cabbage on St.

Patrick's Day? Who invented lemonade? Why are turkeys called turkeys?

And what are sugarplums anyway?

Sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council.
