Table manners in different countries

Eating is the most beautiful part of the trip, but if you don't do your homework in advance, you will lose your appetite and lose face. Let me sort out the table manners of various countries for you, hoping it will be useful to you!

Table manners in different countries

1. In Thailand, you don't use chopsticks unless you eat food with soup.

People usually think that Thai people use chopsticks like us, but in fact, they only use chopsticks when eating food with soup. Thais generally use forks and spoons together, and only a few cases use chopsticks or hands.

2. Go to Thailand and try the pork salad Nam tok moo.

Nam tok moo is a warm Thai salad, also known as "waterfall meat". Mainly served with onions, peppers, mint, shallots, fish sauce and other ingredients, a small basket of glutinous rice, so that you don't even waste the last drop of juice. This place is also famous in the world's top 50 food lists.

When you go to Japan, you must buy a lunch at the railway station.

When you visit Japan, you may already have a long list of delicious foods you want to try, but please don't miss the lunch waiting at the train station. Generally speaking, the box lunch in the convenience store of the railway station is not so delicious and looks ordinary, but the box lunch served in the kiosk convenience store of the Japanese railway station is so exquisite that you will immediately want to take out your mobile phone and take pictures for your friends.

In Russia, you should put your hands on the table when you eat.

When you were a child, were you taught by your parents to put your hands on the table when eating? If you haven't got rid of this impolite habit, you should be careful when you go to Russia. Never put your hands under the table when eating, such as your knees, or you will feel suspicious.

In Italy, you can't miss the breakfast combination of croissants and cappuccino.

Italy's favorite breakfast combination? Croissants and cappuccino. Italians know exactly when and what to eat. Coffee with a high proportion of milk, such as cappuccino, will only be chosen at breakfast, but if they are in a hurry, they will choose espresso instead. As for croissants, everyone eats them differently. Some people eat it directly, while others coat it with Nutella, cream or jam. If you want to go to Italy later, remember to experience the local breakfast culture.

6. In Italian restaurants, don't ask the waiter to get the sauce for the catering bag.

Usually, when you go to eat western food, the meal package is usually served with butter or olive oil or even balsamic vinegar, but when you actually go to an Italian restaurant, please don't think they forgot to bring it for you. Unless this restaurant caters to foreign tourists in taste, meal packages are usually used to dip the leftover sauce of spaghetti.

7. When dining in Italy, don't think that everything will be served at the same time.

Pasta is always served before meat or vegetables, so if your partner only orders the main course and you order spaghetti, your food will definitely be served earlier. In addition, many people like to sprinkle more cheese when eating Italian food, but this is impolite. Pasta with fish will never add cheese.

8. In Asian countries, you can't put chopsticks vertically in a bowl when eating.

As we all know, this is a very disrespectful behavior. Because the bowl and incense burner are similar in shape, putting chopsticks in rice will be like burning incense for the dead. This kind of behavior is also called? Incense in public? And it is said to be similar to the last meal of the condemned man and the enough food given to his ancestors at the funeral. In addition, in Japan, you can't use chopsticks to pick vegetables for others, which is similar to the deboning ceremony after cremation.

Eating is the most beautiful part of the trip, but if you don't do your homework in advance, you will lose your appetite and lose face.

In India, you can only eat with your right hand.

In many places in India and the Middle East, it is very impolite to eat with your left hand. As for what your left hand is used for, I believe it should be needless to say.

Suddenly let you taste the taste of your hometown in a foreign country. It tastes good with bread. Besides, when enjoying breakfast in Turkey, locals usually drink tea instead of coffee.

12. In autumn and winter in Turkey, Salep, a special hot drink made of orchid bulbs, is definitely a savior.
