Each country has its gastronomic peculiarities, and if in Ukraine it is uncultured to chat with a full mouth, then in France they will look askance at you just because you bite huge pieces from a crispy baguette, and do not pinch off small pieces from it. “DIP” will discuss the rest of the restaurants’ unspoken rules of conduct.
China
If you are used to winding Chinese noodles on sticks, then urgently unlearn. In China, noodles are a sign of longevity, so you need to eat them so that they don’t burst in any way. The Chinese themselves, for example, draw it into their mouths along with the air.
Italy
Italians take food very seriously, so they have an unspoken distribution of dishes. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner consist of those products that are spelled out in these same rules. And if you order a cappuccino for an afternoon snack to cheer up, the locals will immediately call you uncivilized.
France
Paying the bill equally to a woman is a terrible sin for a Frenchman. Only an uncultured man can hint to his chosen one about the cost of her salad. To avoid embarrassment once again, the ladies simply do not take a handbag with them, thereby showing that all the expenses are for the man.
Spain
In every self-respecting institution, napkins are not removed from the floor. It is believed that the more napkins scattered, the more popular the restaurant. By the way, the Spanish dinner starts at 21.00, and if at dinner you decide to relax with a glass of something strong, then you can safely order only alcohol: they will bring you a free snack.
Turkey
In Turkish restaurants, you may be looked down upon if you touch a plate with your left hand, which is considered unclean. And it would help if you did not sit frivolously at the table, you can inadvertently offend a Turk by showing him the sole of your shoes.
