“Could you please tell me what the correct procedure is when leaving thedining table during a meal?I was taught that you were to ask for permission to excuse yourself. I was recently offended by someone leaving the table while the rest of uswere still eating & was told by a relative the next day that it didn’t really matter.”
It does matter!
The proper and polite way to leave a table is to ask for permission to be excused.

This was how I was brought up and I will teach my kids to do the same. I think your hostesss just couldn;t be bothered with some one else’s appalling manners. You keep doing what you were told and you won’t go wrong.
