Explanation:

When Queen Elizabeth ruled England, the poor people had humble and unvaried diets and the rich had all kinds of fancy food. However, rich people had to follow certain rules before starting a meal. They had to wait until all the attendees arrived since once the meal has started it was not correct to have any interruption such as a new attendee arriving; they had to wait that the grace was said before start eating as it was considered rude to eat without thanking God for the food; the salt cellar must be on the table in case any guest want to add salt to their meals; and the lord must greeted the guest, welcoming everyone that were going to eat the meal at that time.
