When dinner time arrived, I was ravenous. I was so famished to point that I could down a full course meal in the time frame of five minutes or even less. When my mom, my lord, and savior, raining down a plate of juicy steak sided with mashed potato and a bowl of salad upon the table, my primal instinct urged me to force down the food like a caveman back in the stone age, disregarding any sort of table manner that existed, yet, with a
