Does your country have specific table manners? (1 Viewer)

Here, you must eat with a knife and fork. You have to use a fork for peas and rice and a spoon can only be used for desserts and soups. It's annoying because the peas always roll off your fork... TT

Where I come from though, the table manners are completely different. Chewing loudly and burping at the end shows your appreciation for the food and if you don't ask for more after the first serving, it means you didn't like the food. You eat with your hands and you must always use your right hand even if you are left handed.

What about your country?

I think besides the usual like not chewing loudly etc., don't know how common it is but to never have your hands below the table, always on it

Hmm, since I'm American, I know the basics, like putting the fork on the right (?), and not putting your elbows on the table. Also, have your feet touching the floor. Never put food on your fork unless you're going to eat it that moment, and don't use hand gestures when holding utensils.

No smacking or loud chewing, elbows off the table.
Don't wolf down food like you've never had a meal before

Does not having any table manners at all qualify as specific?

Monday - Fri: Go to your rooms and make sure not to spill anything on your bed
Sunday/Superbowl time: Sit on the couch and make sure not to spill anything on it

I need to wait that everyone is served to eat. No elbow on the table.
