During the past few days there were things I learned about..
hmm I'm not sure if it's asian culture only..
But anyway~
Ways to be respectful ^^
One time I was eating dinner with my family,
We were eating fish~~
MmmM
Ok~ There were two big pieces of fish~
and my parents were focusing on one of them~
Without knowing I took parts of the other fish which hasn't been touched yet.
So my parents told me~
That it was really disrespectful to not completely finish the first fish, before skipping to the next.
.
I guess... one day if your eating with lets say your girlfriend/boyfriends parents or maybe old people xD haha
Make sure you focus on one fish and not the other xD
.
There was this one time we had just entered a restuarant and this old...like really old...man had stood up from where he was still eating and welcomed us. He turned out to be a friends of theirs. Anyways~Later when they left my parents...well my mum, was shocked. She told me that...usually the younger people were suppose to do that. Also it's a really old and traditional way of welcoming. (My mum doesn't do it, because no one does it these days)
But yeaa~
If you wanna be respectful~
One day when your seated at a restaurant eating~ and you see maybe your girlfriend/boyfriends parents haha gf and bfs...
stand up from your table and welcome them to their seats~
hahaa.
That's if you wanna be hardcore xD
.
Something I didn't know..
My parents said I could eat first~
Then I was eating dinner~ (yea its always something to do with eating aye...)
and I had just finished~ (I eat fast xD)
Soo I wanted to give my bowl to my dad so that we don't have to waste plates and dishes.
Cause it's a hassle washing...
>_> little did I know it was really disrespectful to do that....
Your suppose to give a full fledged clean ass bowl.
^^ so now I know..
.
Hahha If you haven't read our old blog tsuri2akai.wordpress.com
then I'll give you a tip on how to be hardcore when eating with elders~
Well you need to be able to hold the chopstick properly.
So that means... NO SCISSORS method...
xD cause when I eat its practically using scissors~
Seriously who doesn't use my method these days?
Oh when I say scissors method I mean like..
When you use it, the chopsticks cross paths..
The correct way of using the chopsticks, is to hold it so its shaped like an arrow.
Like this xD
Btw this isn't my hand hahaha
oh shit for a sec I thought it seriously was my hand...
cause i took a picture like this before xD
ANyway!! got side tracked >_>
Soo this is the correct way xD
And the tip is!!
Apparently in vietnam (or maybe other asian places)
If you can make/use your hands near the end of the chopsticks, it makes you seem like an expert/pro.
But if you hands are closer to the tip, it makes you seem more...
NOOB!
So the farther away the better ^^
Another tip when eating rice xD
Make sure when your using a bowl, that the bowl is not sitting down on the table...
and that your holding it!
The way I use to eat with bowls is like..
bending down my back so i can reach the bowl with my face xD
So that's the incorrect way xD~
Well yea~ Make sure you hold it! ^^V
.
For those who can't use chopstick~
It's best to use a fork I guess...
But if you do try and use chopsticks~
Make sure 100%...1000%%%% guarantee
that you do NOT
EVER!!
Stab the chopstick in your food!
I'm not sure if it's just Japans culture~
But it means death~
and it's really disrespectful xD
.
Like for mee~
When I was a kid I use to use 1 chopstick to eat my sushi~
STAB!!! then eat ^^
But after learning this~
I now know ;P
.
That's all the experience I've got (about eating) for now xD
So HAVE FUN~
Eating...
