【推荐2】When you are away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full. Sharing a meal with others is a kind of communication.
When you are in a foreign country, saying yes to the food on your plate is important. It means that you accept the host and the country. That's why most experienced travelers try to eat everything everywhere, even though the dish looks strange.
We often fell uncomfortable with food that we are unfamiliar(不熟悉的) with. However, food that seems strange in one culture may be a favorite food in another. South China, for example, there are many restaurants that make dishes from snakes. Sheep's eyeballs may be unfamiliar in some parts of the world,but in Saudi Arabia,they are a choice food. In parts of Colombia,roasted ants are.
Can you refuse such food politely? Most experienced travelers say no. You should at least try a bit of it. Cut things into very thin pieces. This way, you won't notice what it looks like or remember where it came from. Or," swallow(晒下) it quickly," as one traveler advises. "I still can't tell you what roasted ants taste like."
Another useful piece of advice is this: It's better if you don't know what you are eating. Don't ask what's for dinner. Avoid looking at the kitchen or looking at restaurant menus. Your host will be very happy because you are eating the food that he or she offers.
