A typical meal starts with some cold dishes, such as boiled peanuts and garlic cucumbers. Next is the main course, hot meat and vegetables. Finally, soup is served, followed by the "staple food" of starch, usually rice or noodles, and sometimes jiaozi. Many people in China eat rice (or noodles or other things) last, but if you like to eat rice with other dishes, you should say it earlier.
Everything is relative, and cultural differences are no exception. Culture, as the general mode of human behavior and its products, transcends geographical boundaries and historical conditions in many aspects and has strong permeability and integration.
It's not surprising to see that the phenomenon peculiar to one culture exists in another. Therefore, some people even worry that when all different nationalities behave exactly the same, the world will become dull.
Nevertheless, the long-term accumulation of "cultural deposits" can not be easily removed, and the cultural traditions handed down from generation to generation show great consistency and continuity. There are still cultural differences in different regions and countries.
