Dining Etiquette Around the World - CSV

Dining etiquette varies significantly around the world based on culture, religion, and historical background. In chopstick cultures (Japan, China, Korea, etc.), there are detailed rules for holding and placing chopsticks. In India and the Middle East, eating with the right hand is standard. Western countries have strict rules for using knives and forks, and soup drinking customs vary by country. Understanding these dining etiquettes is important for cross-cultural communication, international travel, and business.
