The food is an interesting part of traveling. But there is nothing more than an embarrasing of international foods etiquette. Here are some few things about the thing you should do and don't while eating in some countries:

1. Japan 🇯🇵

4. China
Trought Almost all of asia fishes cook and served whole for good luck.
Don't: flip your fish. Flipping the fish at the whole is consider bad luck. Instead just remove the bone and you can it the other side

5. India
Don't: eat with your left hand if you are righties. Reason is your left hand concider unclean
Exception: if you are lefties you can eat with left hand.

6. France
Don't: eat a bread as an appertizer before the main course
Do: place the food on table

7. Germany
Don't: use a knife unless necessary. Such as thing can you easily cut with the side of a fork. And don't cut the lettuce with the knife, instead grap trought fork.

So that all about do and don't in food etiquette, hope you can enjoy and thanks for coming. See you next time in my next articel.
Ciao..!
