[FONT="]It’s a good idea to take some flowers or a box of chocolates for your hostess; some, additionally, bring a bottle of wine. It does not have to be an expensive wine. The bottle is[/FONT] [FONT="]hardly ever [/FONT][FONT="]opened, and quite often serves as a bottle that tonight’s host takes as a guest to next week’s dinner somewhere else.[/FONT]
[FONT="]In most parts of England the hostess expects a short letter of thanks for the evening. Such letters follow a standard formula: you mention the food and the company and express the hope that you will meet again.
