In 1992, former Salisbury University student David Alexander collected folk material in which he explores his own family's traditions and dynamics. In this paper, he mostly analyses the traditions observed during family gathering. For instance, he noted the dining etiquette rules observed such as the seating arrangement, the apportioning of the meat and who gets to take the first bite (mostly from Medieval days in Europe), as well as the formation of subgroups and the topics discussed after diner.
