    This French Cheese Etiquette Faux Pas Is Nowhere Near As Bad As People Make It Seem - Islands (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I still remember a first date at a French restaurant when the man across from me stabbed his fork into an extra-large slab of Brie, smooshed it onto a baguette, and ripped off a bite with his teeth. I had spent a year studying abroad in France, living with four different French families, so I knew exactly what I was witnessing: a cheese faux pas. The proper à table (at the table) approach to French dining is considerably more delicate, and yes, there are rules. Camille Chevalier-Karfis, a Paris
