1. Religious dietary taboos should not be neglected at all.

For example, Muslims usually don't eat pork and don't drink alcohol. Buddhists in China eat less meat, which not only refers to meat, but also includes pungent food such as onion, garlic, leek and mustard. Some Buddhists who believe in Guanyin are especially forbidden to eat beef in their diet, which should be paid special attention to when entertaining Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese compatriots.

Second, for health reasons, some foods are also taboo.

For example, people with heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, arteriosclerosis, hypertension and sequelae of stroke are not suitable for eating dog meat; people with hepatitis are forbidden to eat mutton and soft-shelled turtle; people with digestive diseases such as gastroenteritis and stomach ulcer soup are also not suitable for eating soft-shelled turtle; people with hypertension and high cholesterol should drink less chicken soup.

Third, people's dietary preferences are often different in different regions.

for this, we should give consideration to it when arranging the menu. For example, people in Hunan Province generally like to eat spicy food and eat less sweets. People in Britain and America usually don't eat pets, rare animals, animal viscera, animal heads and claws. In addition, when entertaining foreign guests, try to eat less hard dishes, and foreigners are less likely to spit out food that has been bitten into their mouths during meals, which also needs to be taken into account.

fourth, some occupations, for some reason, often have different special taboos in catering.

For example, national civil servants are not allowed to eat and be invited when performing official duties, to eat and drink at official banquets, to eat beyond the national standards, and to drink alcoholic beverages. For another example, drivers are not allowed to drink alcohol during work. If you ignore this point, you may make the other party make mistakes.

5. Burping

It's very impolite to burp during dinner. If you really can't control it, you can drink water and hold your breath to relieve the symptoms. If it still doesn't work, you'd better go to the bathroom and have a good fight, and then return to your seat after the exhaust gas disappears.

6. Sneezing

If sneezing is only temporary, you can of course cover your mouth with a napkin to minimize pollution. If you sneeze constantly, you'd better leave and deal with it elsewhere. If you really can't deal with it, you might as well leave first. No one will mind.

VII. Make-up

Many Chinese women compatriots don't know this etiquette. Make-up should be done in the bathroom or in places where there are few people. Making up makeup in public is like combing your hair, dressing, etc. It is generally inappropriate.

VIII. Smoking

Almost all restaurants are divided into smoking areas and non-smoking areas. In order to prevent other people from smoking secondhand smoke, addicts had better try their best to restrain their addiction. If they are really addicted to cigarettes, they can use up their dinner. People present have started to leave for the outdoor smoking after dessert and coffee, which is neither rude nor harmful to other people's health.

9. Pick your teeth

You should also pay attention to picking your teeth, which is quite disgusting. If you really want to vomit, please cover your mouth with a napkin and spit on a paper towel. Put the toothpick on the plate after use. Never talk to people with a toothpick in your mouth. It looks like a rogue, which is very ugly. Some people even walk around with toothpicks in their mouths after eating, which is even more outrageous.

11. Knife and fork fall

If the knife and fork accidentally fall to the ground during eating, you only need to tell the service staff to replace it with a clean one, and you should not clean the fallen knife and fork yourself, and you should not wipe it with a napkin before using it again.
