Question

[rosie_rues]

Okay, so I've finally started the next Summer of the Dragon chapter, and I'm tackling mealtimes at Grimmauld Place. I'm using Mrs Beeton for menu ideas (the link is here if anyone thinks it might be useful - it includes suggested menus for each month of the year).

Would the Blacks say grace? If so, would it be in Latin or English? Nothing in canon seems to argue either way, so I'd be interested to hear anyone's opinions.

It's not something that would come up in conversation. I've certainly been surprised to find out people I know are regular churchgoers. I can place most of my close friends, but it's considered a private matter, and not at all something for public display. A lot of people have strong religious feelings, but you'd no more talk about them in public than you'd talk about your sex life (possibly even less, given our tabloid press).
