Where is it polite to make noises when you eat? 00:00:05

In the West, at the beginning of a meal, the host often invites the guests to start eating. 00:00:14

In the USA, the person who cooks or serves the meal tells you to enjoy. 00:00:19

But in Korea, it's the dinner guests who say to the host, 00:00:23

which means I will eat well in China the most respected person 00:00:26

usually the oldest person at the table should start eating first then everybody 00:00:33

else is allowed to eat the rules about how you eat vary depending on whether 00:00:38

you eat with a knife and fork with chopsticks or with your hands they can 00:00:42

be difficult to follow so it's best to ask someone who already knows in Britain 00:00:46

you eat with your fork in your left hand and your knife in your right it's polite 00:00:50

to keep the spikes of your fork face down, so even when you want to eat something difficult 00:00:54

like peas, the polite thing to do is to balance them carefully on the back of your fork. In 00:00:59

Chile it's polite to eat everything with a knife and fork, even french fries, burgers 00:01:04

and pizza. In Ethiopia, individual plates are considered wasteful, so food is served 00:01:09

from a large communal plate which everyone eats from, using their hands. In almost all 00:01:16

All countries and cultures where people eat with their hands, you eat with your right 00:01:21

hand only. The reason for this is that the right hand is considered more important than 00:01:25

the left hand. 00:01:29

In most western countries, eating everything on your plate is considered good manners, 00:01:31

but in China, if you clear your plate, your host feels that she or he has to give you 00:01:35

more food because an empty plate means you're still hungry. So if you don't want any more 00:01:39

food, it's better to leave a little bit of food on your plate to show that you've finished 00:01:44

eating making noises while you eat is often considered rude in western culture but in japan 00:01:48

slurping soup and noodles straight from the bowl and making a noise shows that you're enjoying your 00:01:53

meal belching or burping is considered very rude in the west but in china if you want to pay your 00:01:58

host a compliment burping is the way to do it finally tipping in a restaurant is common and 00:02:04

polite in many western countries and while it's becoming more and more common to tip in asia 00:02:09

many people there think that receiving or getting a tip is like begging so if 00:02:14

you're in a restaurant in Singapore or Japan for example check with the locals 00:02:19

first to see if tipping is okay or not so what's the answer to the question in 00:02:23

Japan slurping and in China belching 00:02:28
