How many times have I been to a function or hosted guests myself where at the dinner table, half way through the meal I notice that my guests have not touched their napkins. Now could this be because they forgot to pick up the napkin or that they simply do not know the function of the napkin. This for me appears to be one of the tools of the table that has been easily overlooked, ignored and taken for granted. Some people see the napkin as an extra table accessory that does not have too much significance. It appears as décor and beauty to the table itself. It is true the napkin does add that extra color and flavor to the finesse of the table setting but the napkin surely has more important functions too.
