We often say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” So when you eat Western food, do as Westerners do. Here are some things that you may need to know about _______ together in the West.
In some Western countries, _______ is usually eaten at about 1 pm. Dinner is served around 7 pm or even later. In Spain it is usual to have lunch at 3 pm and dinner at 10 pm!
At the start of a _______, the French say “Bon appétit”, and the Italians say “Buon appetito”. But there is nothing similar to say in English. “Enjoy your meal” is usually only said by the person who brings the food.
Forks and _______ are used for most Western food. The fork is held in your left hand and the knife in your right, and the food is held with the fork and cut with the knife.
During the meal, you may be _______ to serve yourself by someone who says, “Help yourself.” You can take it and say, “Thank you.” If you are given something you do not like, you can just say, for example, “I’m _______. I don’t eat meat”, or “I don’t eat fish”. No one will be cross. If you are offered more food but can’t eat any more, just say, “No, thanks. It was _______, but I’ve had enough.”
Remember that it is _______ to say that you enjoy every dish when it is served, and that you have enjoyed the food at the end of a meal.
It is sometimes difficult to know when the meal is _______. If you are invited to dinner by Western friends, you will be expected to stay and talk around the dinner table long after the last dish is served, so it is not polite if you _______ as soon as you finish eating.
The rule is: Watch the other people. Do as they do.
