In this installment of The Timid Soul (February 15, 1932), I'm not 100% sure I understand what Caspar is doing. I mean, yes, I understand his motivation for doing it, but what exactly is he doing? Also, the notion that a restaurant would just seat two random people together? And "to-day" being hyphenated feels so alien.

Pouring a bit of tea or coffee into the saucer and sipping it from there. It cools faster when you do that and from what I can tell, this was more of a working-class move because they'd need to drink and get back to work quickly.

I think that's been discussed before in previous threads -- it used to be normal to pour your coffee into the saucer and drink it from there. But at some point drinking from the saucer became a sign that someone was an uncultured boor with bad table manners. Caspar is copying the other guy and drinking from his saucer even though he knows better, because he'd rather not seem like he's criticizing the other guy.

I’ve done shared table seating at Chinese dim sum places as well, since they are primarily interested with filling every seat at all times.

"Family-Style" restaurants are a big 'Amish' draw in Lancaster, PA. About the best meal that you can get on any given day in Savannah, GA is at Mrs. Wilkes' on Jones. You will sit with a table of strangers. You will stuff your face from the (at least) sixteen dishes on the table. You will no longer be strangers.

That's the sort of place I've run into it as well. Like very busy brunch places where they'll fit two couple onto a four-top or match singles together. I also once had a conversation with someone who was eating alone at the Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite valley and ended up having lunch with Ansel Adams that way.

It originally came from the french royal court I've read.

Safety Dance posted:I recall hearing in my German class that it is a thing in Germany, but that could be old information. Lately, though, the more hipstery restaurants have made it a point to have long communal tables and advertise it as part of their experience, and where in the old days you kept to yourself even when seated at the same table, you're specifically supposed to chat with your fellow diners there. Just goes to show how these ideas come and go and also keep changing in the details.
