Strange dining practices around the world

Visiting different countries, you will experience differences in cultures, especially during meals. Each country has its own unique principles that do not overlap in enjoying food to help bring more good luck.

China

Chinese people believe that long noodles are symbolic of long life. So if you're lucky enough to eat a long bowl of noodles, don't cut them down, otherwise you're cutting your life short. During meals, you should not use chopsticks to point at others.

Long noodles should also try to eat

Another interesting tradition is not to flip the fish face because it will bring bad luck. This is the belief of Chinese fishermen because they are afraid that their boat will turn over in seafaring after turning fish. You should remove the meat from the bottom of the fish and eat.

Japan

When eating in Japan, never use chopsticks to pass food between two people. In Japan, there is a tradition in funerals is to use chopsticks to pick up the bones of the deceased after cremation. So, chopsticks accidentally reproduce the above activity and are deemed not to respect Japanese tradition and bring bad luck.

Do not put chopsticks in the bowl

The chopsticks also have another aspect in Japanese burial culture. When the chopsticks are straightened into the rice bowl, it is like an invitation to the deceased. Chopsticks also act as lighting incense for the dead. You should not insert such chopsticks in the restaurant because it will bring a curse to the owner. China and Korea also have similar traditions.

Brother

As a standard eating rule, you should tilt the soup outwards while eating. The soup spoon must also point outwards before being brought to the mouth. America also applies the same rules in formal parties.

South Korea

You should not start enjoying a meal before the oldest person or the highest person at the table starts.

Chile

Should eat Pizza with a knife and fork

If you intend to travel to South America, remember that Chileans never use their hands when eating. Pizza, chips and sandwiches are all served with knives, spoons and forks.

America

The US president also ate the fried chicken

It is illegal to eat watermelons at public parks in Beech Grove, Indiana, USA. This law is in place because trash cans are always overloaded and lose a lot of area by watermelon shells.

At Gainesvilla in Georgia, you must eat fried chicken if you don't, or it will be illegal. In 2009, a woman was arrested using a fork to eat chicken on her 91st birthday. Fortunately, it was only a friend's joke, but this rule was real.

Italia

Be careful when the cook gets angry

When eating in Italy, you should not ask for more cheese but wait for the chef to bring cheese to you. Please cheese as a word to challenge the chef's ability at the restaurant.

Tanzania

While arriving before meals is a polite expression in the US, on the contrary, you should arrive 15-20 minutes late if you are a guest at a meal in Tanzania. That is respect for the host.

Russia

If you have already taken one bottle of vodka, you should put it on the ground. The Russians believe that putting the wine bottle out on the table will bring misfortune. In addition, you should never lick knives, forks or any eating utensils when they get food because it is a rude and wild expression.
