African Eating And Etiquette

In many parts of Africa, there are no tables and chairs for dinner, nor for knives and forks, not chopsticks, but for hand catching.

When you eat, everyone sits around, a lunch box and a dish box in the middle.

Each person uses his left hand to hold the edge of the lunch box or the dish box, and uses his right finger to grab the food and vegetables in front of him, and send it to the entrance.

At this point, you will be at a loss, or even grab your hands full of food, while Africans will be all neat and clean when they grab their meals and eat.

What guests should pay attention to when eating is not to sprinkle meals on the ground, which is taboo by the owner.

At the end of the meal, the elders should sit quietly while they are not leaving. When the children leave, they must salute their parents.

In many parts of Africa, there are strict etiquette for eating, and even for every part of cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.

For example, in Mali, men with chicken thighs in the same year eat chicken breast meat for older women; the family members eat chicken neck, stomach and liver; the chicken's head, claws and wings are distributed by children.

For example, in Botswana, at a large public banquet, guests and men eat beef, married women eat chop, and they are boiled separately and eaten separately, not to be confused.

If you are in the country, you must understand it.
