[Angharad]

I wish! I'm usually good at comprehension and imitating accents, but I get nervous and flummoxed in conversation.

You always wanted to have a working knowledge of the language of any country you visited.

[Westerly_2]

That is true. 

You always wanted more knowledge of the food and drink of any place you have visited

[Angharad]

I guess I know a bunch about that. I've been eating and cooking exotic cuisines all my life. And reading up on food and culture is easier than learning a language. ツ

You like cuisines which are eaten with your hands (Ethiopian, for example). 

[Westerly_2]

Yes, love it.

Sometimes you forget and have to remind yourself which side the fork goes on. :^ )

[Angharad]

Having had a well-bred English mother, I'm afraid I'll remember that even after I've forgotten my own name. ツ

You love picnics (when it's not too hot and buggy).

[Westerly_2]

Yes, I do indeed

You know what the "4 o'clock position " is, as in fine dining.  (I had to look it up)

[Angharad]

I do.  My family used the "Continental" version in which the tines of the fork face down.

Generally, your supper was served around 6pm. (We ate late like many Europeans.)

[Westerly_2]

(I'm impressed!)

Yes, 6, or even 5 at times. We called it dinner, except on the weekends when dinner was at noon and supper at 5.

They often served watercress or cucumber sandwiches, especially in summer,  outside

[Angharad]

Watercress and cucumber sandwiches were common fare for high tea, and my mom sometimes made them for the lunches she gave or just for the two of us to enjoy. I still eat cucumber sandwiches when I can get cucumbers. ツ (Can't ever seem to find watercress.)

Your mom sometimes made finger sandwiches for the two of you, just for fun and a "girly" thing to do.

[Westerly_2]

Nope, she really wasn't too girly that way. But she was a great baker for the holidays for the lot of us. 

One of your brothers or cousins played team basketball at school.

[Angharad]

Not either of my brothers. They were in track and field sports. Don't know about my cousins.

You were in your high school chorus or madrigals.

[Westerly_2]

Not I. Can't carry a tune. 

You play at least one instrument
