American table manners
1. Don’t talk about politics
For Chinese people, it is normal to watch CCTV news and discuss the current situation while eating, but for Americans , this is a topic that must not be mentioned!
2. Don’t gossip
For Americans who value privacy very seriously, they think that discussing gossip is a very impolite and unpleasant thing, regardless of Whether or not you are involved should not be discussed!
3. Don’t put your head over the bowl when eating
Americans sit upright when eating and only lean a little when putting food into their mouths, while Chinese People are accustomed to eating together at the bowl. In their eyes, they are uneducated and barbaric.
4. Don’t eat in advance
When eating in China, the cook eats last. There is no such thing as having to wait until everyone is seated before eating. For Americans, this is very impolite, and it will be even more embarrassing if you encounter someone who prays before eating!
5. Don’t leave the table immediately after finishing the meal
This is actually similar to point 4. Even if you are full, you cannot leave the table first, you have to wait until everyone has eaten. Only after you are done can you leave the table together. While everyone is eating, just wait for the other friends.
