The food industry has never been so big.
There are many dining styles around the world according to their culture and
traditions. Indian dining etiquettes are no less. There are more than 7 billion
people who have various values and cultures. Living in a globalized city today,
it is interesting to know eating and dining habits from different cultures.
There are so many restaurants open today, for instance, Indian restaurants in Blackwood or Chinese restaurants in
Queensland and knowing about their ways would be interesting.
Chinese
culture
The meals in China usually include Chinese noodle
soup, noodles, rice, and tofu. Chinese people use chopsticks to eat their meals.
The family members sit around a table, but they let elder people start first.
In the middle of the tables, there are bowls filled with soup, rice, noodles,
and other varieties. They would help themself to pick up the dish they like.
When diners are helping themself to get their favourite dish, they should not
gobble it up as quickly as possible. The consideration for others should be
there.
Indian
style
As an experiment have an Indian take away in Blackwood. Instead
of individual portions, the diners are served several dishes of food from which
one can help themselves. Most Indian meals (depending on if the host is
vegetarian or not) include chapatti rice, (flatbread), vegetable, meat,
and lentil dishes, yogurt, salad, and pickles. Water is served with the
meal. And although not compulsory, the food is eaten by fingers and no forks
and spoons are used. It is polite to use fingers, contrary to popular beliefs.
You can use this technique while ordering Indian food delivery from Blackwood. Order for desserts as well, as it is
customary to have something sweet at last.
Middle
Eastern ways
The most common foods in the Middle East are
hummus (a dip made of a base of chickpeas, tahini, and garlic), rice, lentil
soup, falafel (the fried balls made of onions, chickpeas, and species) and pita
bread. In many Muslim cultures, the use of the right hand is the norm,
eschewing utensils and sometimes both hands. If you drop food or utensil on the
ground, pick up, and raise it to your forehead before putting it back on your
plate. This is a mark of respect for the food and the work that went into
making it.
