If you could have dinner with three people, living or dead, who would it be? It's a question we've been asked many times in college applications and uncomfortable icebreakers. But just because it's commonplace, it doesn't mean the question should be taken lightly. If you invited Abraham Lincoln, would he arrive pre-assassination, or would you have to stare at his gaping head wound all through dinner? (See also: Marie Antoinette.) If you ate Chinese food with Mozart, would you have to explain the concept of Chow Fun? Would guests get along? Would fights break out? There are innumerable unthought questions and variables to consider, and thankfully, now you don't have to, with The Official Dream Dinner Party Handbook! Complete with advice on tableware and etiquette, plus comprehensive lists of potential invitees, your next dream dinner party is sure to be a success with this hilarious new book from author Gary M.
