Does anyone know where the custom of knocking on the breakfast/lunch/dinner table when getting up and leaving comes from? Does this come from a country in Europe? What is the history of this?
I thought it might come from the days of kings and knights in those u shaped tables but I could be wrong.
No, It's like knocking on the table to say goodbye to everyone at the table when you leave the table without verbally saying goodbye. No one has heard of this?
