COF andNEIGHBORHOOD

DISCOVERIESUnusual Dining Etiquette

Around the World#1- Slurping: is goodOne of our favorite Asian foods

is noodles; Pho, ramen, Udon,soba to name a few. In Japan,slurping is considered polite. It’salso an indication that the foodis good.

But be careful, slurping is notconsidered polite in all Asiancultures. In Thailand and in partsof China, it is accepted to slurp,but not really encouraged. Justknow before you go.

#2- Should you finish all thefood on your plate?

You might be surprised toknow that in some cultures, if youfinish all your food on your plate,it is a sign that your host did notprovide you with enough food.

In fact, in some cultures(Filipinos, Cambodians, Koreans,Egyptians and Thais), if you finishyour food, your host will continueto serve you each time you clearyour plate and drink your entirebeverage.

However, in Japan, finishingone’s plate and rice bowl signifiesto the host that the meal iscomplete and that you appreciatethe meal.

#3- Yes, You SHOULD Belchand Burp:

As strange as it sounds, YES, itis considered good table mannersin some cultures to belch aftera meal.

In India, Turkey and someMiddle Eastern countries and evenin parts of China, it is consideredgood manners to burp after ameal. It’s a sign of appreciationand satiety.

I’m not sure if I could bringmyself to burp at the dinner table,could you?

#4- Don’t Cut Your Salad Witha Knife in France!

Bet you didn’t know that inFrance, salads should not be cutwith a knife and fork. You shouldgently fold your lettuce leavesonto the fork and eat it.

#5- Which fork do I use?In Thai culture, you don’t use

your fork to put food in yourmouth, instead you use a fork topush your food onto your spoon.

During the Renaissance inEurope, there were no forks. Theywere as excessively refined. Formen, it was considered a sign ofeffeminacy. The custom of usingforks began in Italy, but only thewealthy could afford themthroughout the 17th century.

Don’t take these rules tooseriously; not everyone followstheir culture’s rules 100%. Whenin doubt, look around and seewhat other people are doing andjust follow suit.
