I would be just like your British friend if someone were to burp loudly or to leave their cutlery anywhere but on the plate–it seems rude and vulgar to me! I would blush and be embarrassed by those sort of actions.

Growing up in the Midwest I was taught to never speak with your mouth full, not to play with my food, no unnecessary noise like slurping or belching, etc. And I eat EVERYTHING with a fork and a knife! Chicken, pizza, even hamburgers! I was taught only certain things are finger foods, such as some fruits and foods like crackers.

It’s so interesting to hear how things are done in other parts of the world. Thanks for the post.

Moulmein – thanks for sharing that bit of Burmese culture with us
Jacqueline – I agree, it is interesting to see how other people interpret and translate things!
Helen – Thanks. See, I didn’t know the rules varied for sushi and sashimi. Have fun in Japan. I’ve not been to Asia yet…or the States. There’s hope.

Thanks for your email, interesting post! You know it’s traditional to eat sushi with your hands so as to dip only the topping but not get the rice wet with soy sauce, (but not sashimi)? I’m off to Japan in November for my fifth trip and will be writing about food etiquette on my return, along with many other posts on food & travel.
