International dining etiquette
« on: January 03, 2005, 04:25:09 PM »
I received this link in a newsletter email. It's a fairly simple questionnaire, but I thought you'd all find it interesting:

How did you score? I got eight out of 11. So-so.

I got 7.  After the blurb on the 1st page I was disappointed there was no question on Sudan because I HAVE eaten in a posh restaurant there!

8 out of 11 too.  The Spanish one made sense (too much tappas for me), but the Polish one got me.

Hmmm. 7 out of 11 but in my defense, the DH made me change my mind on at least one. Missed the Spanish one but got the Polish one!

10 of 11.  Who knew you could capsize a boat just by flipping a fish?

Liz,

The Scottish one was about children doing homework after dinner (I missed that one because I didn't realize that "dinner" was sometimes used as a word for "lunch" in the UK as well as in the States--in the southern states, people sometimes refer to "lunch" as "dinner," and to "dinner" as "supper"). I also missed the ones about Spain and Poland.
