Have you ever had lunch with someone that their table manners were so bad that they ruined your appetite? I used to work with an pharmacist from India, actually two but the first one ate with his fingers, no kitchen utensils! rice etc he just scooped out with fingers, and would eat with his mouth open and food coming out. The second one from India had perfect manners, anyway my question is would you say anything to them?

I couldnt, but I was very embarassed.

If they were strangers or co-workers, no I wouldn't. It's not really my place to critique anyone's table manners. If it were a personal friend, I'd be my usual smart aleck self and make some sarcastic, humorous comment about it. But since you don't know them well, I'd eat at a different time.
