A polite local mother has shown off her more cultured side this week at a dinner with friends.

Enjoying some Italian cuisine and a nice bottle of red down at an authentic Italian place down in the French Quarter last night, Joce Anthe put her table manners on full display.

The regional mother of three has always prided herself on her ability to turn it on when she feels like.

From her table manners to her elocution, Anthe can wine and dine with the best of them.

So that’s why during her meal with a couple of other mums from around Betoota.

Nudging her way through nice Cab-Sav, Anthe pulled herself her first slice of pizza down onto her plate, before impressing her tablemates by taking to it with a knife and fork.

Speaking to The Advocate this morning, Anthe explained why it’s nice to carry yourself with a little bit of class from time to time.

“Enjoying a nice meal out with the girls, I don’t wanna stuff my face with a Sassari like some pleb,” Anthe said.

“I mean some people don’t know any better, and that’s fine. But I was always taught the importance of table manners, so when you are out at a nice joint like this one you should treat it with a bit of respect.”
