Dining customs around the world.

1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Experiencing different food is one of the best parts of travelling.

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
But with new food, we have new dining rules.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,000
So today, our guests are sharing interesting dining customs from around the world.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Let's get started.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,000
In Korea, you need to wait for the oldest person to sit down first.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,000
You also don't start eating until the elders say, let's eat.

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
And during the meal, you don't hold your bowl of soup or rice.

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
You leave it on the table.

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Really, it's the opposite here in China.

10
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,000
People usually hold their chopsticks with one hand and the bowl with another.

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
But we have strict rules about how we use chopsticks.

12
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
We don't stick them in our rice bowls or play with them.

13
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
It's very rude.

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
In England, it is bad manners to point with your knife or fork.

15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
And English tea is a big part of our culture.

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Remember, when stirring tea, the spoon should never touch the side of the cup.

17
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
The cling-cling sound is rude since we like quiet meals.

18
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
That's so interesting.

19
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Here in Japan, sometimes it's okay to eat noisily if you are eating noodles.

20
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,000
We usually slurp our noodles to show how much we're enjoying the food.

21
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
But we only do that with noodles.

22
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
We still eat other food quietly.

23
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:06,000
In India, you can show the chef that you have really enjoyed your meal by leaving your plate empty.

24
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000
And we like to eat food with our fingers.

25
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,000
We always joke that eating with fingers makes the food taste better.

26
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Yum!

27
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Wow!

28
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
In Chile, we never use our hands to touch any food.

29
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,000
We always use utensils, even when eating French fries.

30
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,000
And remember, women always take their seats at the table before men.

31
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Ladies first in Chile.

32
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:48,000
In my country, we use a fork only to push food onto our spoon.

33
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
We never use a fork to put food directly into our mouth.

34
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Can you guess where I am from?

35
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Mexico, Thailand, or Russia?

36
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Explore the world.

37
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
