Drink, swine! On the most amazing rules of behavior at the table
In Thailand, the fork and a spoon are served on the table at the same time, but are not used as Europeans are used. The device with the tooth is needed exclusively in order to shift food into a spoon, and then send to the mouth. Interestingly, Thais for a long time did not use cutlery at all. They appeared in homes only at King Mongkut in the XIX century, thanks to his politics of rapprochement with Europe. But despite the fact that since that time has passed more than a century, in some provinces still eaten in the old man – with hands.
Fish sign
Turn over in the subway fish when eating is like installing empty bottles on the table in Russia. In China, at the table, it is customary to separate the upper layer first, then the skeleton and only after it is taken for the bottom layer. There is an ancient belief: if you turn over the fish, the boat will be turned over during the next fishing. And nothing that on boats on the sea is no longer floating, everything goes on cars!
