Different eating culture

How is eating culture different in USA and your country?


Korean’s have special etiquette; when Koreans have meals, younger people should wait before until the older person starts eating. Koreans have a special culture that is very respectful to older people. In addition, if someone eating finishes earlier than the other, they should keep their seat whether or not people leave early; Koreans think that is a rude behavior. Koreans usually eat rice and soup at every meal. That is our main food. In the USA during mealtime, they are talking together, but in Korea it is also not good etiquette. After finishing meal, Koreans eat dessert together; this is conversation time. Korea and USA have different culture; so naturally eating cultures are different. USA eating cultures are freer but Korea has formality.
