It almost feels like a practical joke when the waiters come and ask how the food is when you’ve just taken a bite and they do that almost without fail. My problem with that is two-fold: 1) You haven’t had enough time to judge the food yet; 2) and it’s awkward to talk when you’ve got food in your mouth. Great video as always.
It is very important to have proper table manners. Besides, I just had a British all day breakfast this afternoon. Not just being neat and tidy to place the utensils in place, but also properly place them when finishing it.
A very useful and complete lesson on Western table etiquette. Everyone in Taiwan just knows bit of this and bit of that, and some elders actually teach you the wrong Western table etiquette. Thank you.
Thank you for the video, this is really helpful. This is based on what I remembered. In Chinese culture, "jiggling your leg" is bad. People believe that there's gold on men's knee. So anything like jiggling and kneeling down should be avoided at most time because "jiggling and kneeling" symbolizes losing your riches (財運). Refer to 男兒膝下有黃金. In modern days, jiggling is still consider as "things only poor people do". Refer to "窮抖腳", and "男抖窮, 女抖賤, 樹抖死, 人抖窮"
In traditional Chinese culture, putting your chopsticks straight down in the rice is in the event of "祭祖“。Meaning that bowl of rice is for the passed away ancestors.
中西飲食文化雖有不同，但也有一些共通點。比如說，不要邊吃邊講話 (no talking when you are eating)，這個除了很沒禮貌外 (因為很可能會把食物噴到別人)，其實也是有根據。如果大家是修讀Biology或者Human Anatomy的話，就會知道人類的食道 (oesophagus)跟氣管(trachea)就在前後，有一個軟骨組織叫做會厭 (epiglottis)，在我們吞嚥 (swallowing)的時候，epiglottis會蓋住喉嚨，以防食物誤進氣管，當我們平常說話或呼吸時，epiglottis就會打開。所以，如果邊吃邊講話，其實很危險，增加哽塞 (choking)的風險。華人有一句叫做「食不言，寢不語」。
Reaching across the table! 😂 Been told off so many times before as a kid in both cultures. We call it 飛象過河。 Its a reference to the Chinese chess ( the piece equivalent to bishop) reaching across the whole chessboard) which is an illegal move. Got a smack on the back of the hand evertime i did it haha
I thought I was taught that if you have to leave the table for a while (for restroom or else) and you've not finished your dish yet, you can place your knife and fork on the dish crossed or in the positions of "4 o'clock and 8 o'clock" (like Chinese character "八") to signal that you'll come back and finish the dish, and the staffs shouldn't collect your plate.
I’m so glad to hear that it’s rude to put your phone on the table while eating, even if it’s between friends. In the US, this is definitely not the case. Maybe I’m a bit old fashioned but I personally find it rude.
Hi Susie, don't be snobbish lol I saw English people eat quite casually, but I totally agree with some of the rules, but nowadays they are quite relaxed, I always communicate with "foreign" friends about etiquette. Eat quietly definitely one of those, but in Asian culture, esp to show how nice the noodle is, you should slurp the noodles. I dated some girls, I have to say table manner definitely is not a problem in the relationship, both people can learn each other's culture, it's fun.
1. Everything you mentioned is fine for me, except I think it's absolutely fine to hold the bowl when I drink soup as you mentioned "highly inefficient" to drink it with a spoon with the bowl on the table...I think I should probably leave Europe...2. I think jiggling one's foot is fine as long as this doesn't directly impact another person, I hate it when people do this when we are sharing a same bench or for a show when they are sitting behind me with the foot touching the back of my seat. I encontered this situation quite often in continental Europe(never been to the UK). I am Chinese from China.
Western soups are usually thick and would be difficult to pour it from the bowl directly into mouth. Chinese soups are watery so it's a different kind of activity to eat the soup efficiently.
Hi Susie, thanks for sharing the video. Can I have a question please? Should I place knife with blade facing towards myself? I went for a quite formal dinner once and found many people placed their knives with blades facing outwards. I felt that was a bit odd.
Great topic as usual Susie. Talking while chewing is pretty gross which to me is the number one turnoff. Couple more (a) don’t slurp the soup and (b) always pass both the salt AND pepper together. And in a family style or pot luck setting, we always make sure no one wants that last piece of food before grabbing it.
Could you do more on the table manners on the placement of fork and spoon, like what you had mentioned, placement of both spoon and fork at 4 o'clock mean you have done on the meal, and crossing the fork and spoon/knife have other meaning as well.
Hi, Susie, I'm reading a book called Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behavior, by Kate Fox. This book is very inspiring and it shares many of your opinions, on English personality, English social rules, English humor, etc. I didn't know English people pay so much attention on social classes; it seems the entire society moves around the idea of acting one's class by avoid using certain words, choosing certain furnitures/cars/houses. I got lost on whether the author was just showing her humor, or perhaps she was stating the cruel facts on classes. Do people from high class discriminate the others? Do people from the lower classes try very hard to act like they are from a higher society?
Jiggling legs itself isn't rude imo, just a little distracting if done too often or for too long. Whether a person is rude or not depends on the full body language I guess. Sometimes, people are just anxious. Some don't even realize they do it. I know of people who frown upon it and there're also people who don't care at all. But it is definitely more of an undesirable habit, and if some kid is jiggling their legs, their parents are no doubt going to try and prevent that.
while the bill is brought to me, shall I stay at my seat or go to the cashier counter to pay if off ? always confuse 😱. Could you help advise ? Thank you
Appreciate your effort in making this video informative and educative as it has always been Jiggling, in my opinion, should be avoided as it might offend others
Jiggling leg is definitely rude in the old time in Asia. My parents snapped at us every time when they saw me or my brother doing that when we were much younger. Now I don't like people jiggling legs either.
I recall there's a Chinese-language book written by Hong Kong actress-turned-psychologist Josephine Siao on western etiquette, just wondering if Susie has read it before. 記得香港的蕭芳芳曾經出過一本名為「洋相」的中文書介紹西方禮儀，不知版主讀過沒有。
About jiggling your legs. There is a saying 樹搖葉落，人搖福薄。so you can see it is something you will get told off by others. p.s. this saying rhymes in Cantonese and not so much in Mandarin, so may not be generally known in Taiwan nor northern China
Jiggling your leg is a posture people behave when they are anxious or quite in a smug self-satisfication. The former shows their impatience with the companion, while the latter is in general not a pleased scene, and either way it doesn't show one's control on his or her behavior and emotion.
Not all Chinese have the same culture. South and north Chinese are different culture. Also all Chinese have their own local language. Even foods are big different. Old generation oversea Chinese are coming from Southern part of China. (Canton area) Most of them speaking Cantonese or Tao Shan. Chinese said jiggle your leg at the dinner table are not polite. Some old age Chinese said jiggle your leg mean your fortune will falling off follow your jiggle action. Haha funny right
Jiggling legs happens with young people much more and it's a subconscious movement. Sometimes someone commenting "you're jiggling your legs" is enough to get the person to stop. It's not rude but a bit unhealthy.
Jiggling one’s leg or tapping one’s foot is a no no - 樹搖葉落，人搖福薄！A jiggling tree shed its leaves. A jiggling person is void of his or her blessing in life.
不行~~我是不能容忍吃飯的時候有人在一旁『jigging leg』抖腳，還有，用自己的舌頭去清潔(?)自已塞在牙齒間的食物殘渣所發出來的那個『嘶嘶』的聲音，太惡心了QQ.... 謝謝分享英國的餐桌禮儀，我在看Murder on the Orient Express(台譯 : 東方快車謀殺案)時，也有發現連在吃甜點時也會在脖子上圍上圍巾~~用刀叉，小口小口的吃~
In America forget about it.. we just use our fingers now. We grab tacos like the Mexicans, eat pizzas like the Italians, mix rice & naan like Indians ... The Queen is going to be so disappointed after two hundred some years... 😂😂
Thanks for good information. Can anyone tell me why I followed those etiquettes in an American restaurant, everyone looked at me like an idiot? And the staff refused to give me knives and forks! I swear I won't go to KFC anymore, their staff and customers are so strange.
In Chinese culture, same as slouching, jiggling is not allowed. In middle or upper class family, usually Mom will discipline her child who jiggling his/her legs.
About jiggling legs: I don't think it is necessarily perceived as rude in China or Hong Kong, not sure about Taiwan though. Historically it might have been unacceptable. Personally, I hate it. I never allow myself to do it. And when my partner does it, it bugs me a lot.
Jiggle can be seen as a weirded or rude behaviour but people around won’t voice out. However, people are very forgiving if it’s related to medical issue or psychological issue. From Hong Kong.
關於抖腳，有個說法是「男抖窮，女抖賤」，從小被教說抖腳是沒禮貌的行為，被大人看到會被制止，但應該也沒有很嚴重啦，如果是和別人一起吃飯、開會抖腳就不適合，但如果只有自己一人在等車什麼的應該不會有人在意。
家母教導：人搖福薄，樹搖葉落
我们那里有句老话叫抖腿落财。
男抖窮，女抖賤印象太深了

抖腳以前都會被糾正，但後來醫生說其實抖腳很多時候是身體的自然反應，可能因為焦慮、緊張、或者其他原因，有時候自然的抖腳有助於身體的健康，或者適時反應身體上的一些疾病訊息。
雖然我自己小時候已經被改過來，不過因為上面的原因我很接受別人抖腳，只要用餐時不會讓桌子跟著動就好😄
其實強迫自己不抖腳會引發很多會猝死的疾病🤭……治標還是得治本

關於他人不自主抖腳的問題, 我來說一下我個人的親身經驗 ; 幾年前在大陸坐高鐵, 旁邊坐著一小哥一直一直再以很高的頻率在抖腳, 抖得我連頭都跟著抖 ; 後來我便想到一方法治他, 我便以和他不同的頻率學他抖腳, 我攪亂了他抖腳的頻率 使他抖起來變得很不順, 之後他便向我說: 要不然我們倆都別抖了, 好不好 ; 這就是所謂的 以毒攻毒 !!

This is a great video.
I always find it slightly-to-mildly amusing that you know more Chinese than I do, and yet, I was born in HK (U.K.).
Funny, interesting and useful. And make people laugh as we may not be aware of this table manner
I thought I was taught that if you have to leave the table for a while (for restroom or else) and you've not finished your dish yet, you can place your knife and fork on the dish crossed or in the positions of "4 o'clock and 8 o'clock" (like Chinese character "八") to signal that you'll come back and finish the dish, and the staffs shouldn't collect your plate.

@@barelybear5489 謝謝您的回复！順便讓我祝您安康！我也祝您全家安康！希望您仔細讀完下文後能明白我的本意！
我先簡單向您介紹一下我自己的信仰經歷：我原來是不信神的，其實是把自己當成神，按自己的標準行事為人，也就是自以為是，表現為自以為義，自以為美，自以為善，自我為中心，有時自大，有時自欺，有時自卑，有時膽大包天，有時膽小如鼠，等等。當然自私是人的本性（無論中國人還是外國人），我也不例外。結果常常虧欠人，實際上是虧欠了神。自以為行得正，實際上是與神為敵，行在黑暗裡，走在永死的路上。我出生在江蘇東台一個所謂的知識分子家庭，父母的教育就是書中自有黃金屋，書中自有顏色如玉，就是要我認真讀書，將來有一天出人頭地。18歲我到北京讀書，25岁到美國讀書，27岁回北京教書，後來到公司工作。2003年6月30日我（41岁）和全家移民加拿大。2004年6月26日下午一時我（42岁）認罪悔改信耶穌，自此我接受祂為我人生的救主和我生命的主。我於同年9月27日晚7時受洗歸入耶穌基督的名下。感謝上帝的憐憫和恩典，祂讓我罪得赦免，使我知道要敬畏神，要盡力愛人如己。因著信耶穌，我擁有了真正的平安和滿足以及永生的盼望。哈里路亞，感謝讚美主！
很少有人願意聽不同的意見。希望您不要怪罪我！我向您傳的是福音，一切都是為您好。我今天向您簡單介紹兩位名人的信仰經歷。
1. 張學良 張學良到台灣後開始認真尋求信仰。他先開始研究佛學，讀了很多有關佛教的書。有一天，宋美齡來拜訪，問他讀什麼書，他如實回答。宋回答他: “汉卿（張學良的小名），你又走錯了路，你也許認為我信基督教很愚蠢，但是世界各國許多有名的、偉大的人物都是基督徒，難道他們都是愚蠢的嗎？”後來她建議張學良研究一下基督教。張採納了她的建議，並且上了美南浸信會的函授神學課程。他用中文答卷，由秘書翻譯成英文。他（63岁）於1964年受洗歸入耶穌基督的名下。後來他一直為上帝做見證直到100岁時（2001年）安息主懷。請參閱“張學良的信仰經歷”一文。
2. 林語堂 國學大師林语堂出生在牧師的家庭，他小時候的信仰是他父親的信仰。後來他長大了，開始尋求屬於自己的信仰。他也曾到美國留學和工作。他在晚年寫了一本書，題目是“信仰之旅”。其中有一段是這樣寫的（大意）：我曾經歷過儒教的殿堂，道山（教）的高峰，佛教的迷霧，但唯有基督的大光讓我徹底降伏。具體內容請參閱《信仰之旅》或《從異教徒到基督徒》一書。
我個人的心得：請您仔細看以下三組字/詞！
1：神、福、禍、祈禱、祈福、祝福、等等；
2：人、佛（教）、儒（教）、仙（道教的最高境界）、偶像、等等；
3：正義、美善、吉祥、榜樣、等等。
您仔細看一看，他們在結構上的共同點和意義上的差異在哪裡？先讓我簡單地為您分析一下：
第一組：每一個字或詞都是“神”字左邊的偏旁。他們表明神能降福，也能降禍。自古以來人向神祈求福祉和避免災禍。人祈福和禱告的對象應該是獨一的真神/上帝。因為神是灵，是自有永有的，是昔在、今在和以後永在的上帝。祂是宇宙萬物的主宰，祂是人類的創造主、維護主、拯救主和審判主。祂的屬性是聖潔、公義、憐憫、慈愛、良善、全能、全知、全在和永不改變。祂是愛我們的天父上帝，也是我們人類的朋友。一切都有天意，上帝掌管一切。人若順服神必蒙福，忤逆神必遭禍。聖經有超過一百次提到這種關係。（請參閱申命記28章；詩篇33，37，139，等）
第二組：每個字或詞都是人或帶有單“人”旁，他們包括死人、活死人和所有的偶像。無論他們創造了什麼理論或學說（包括佛教的輪迴、儒教和道教的理论、進化論，法輪大法的真善忍，各種心靈雞湯，等等），因為他們本身都是人，是上帝所創造的，他們試圖用人的方法來解決人的根本問題，結果搞出來的只是一些似是而非的學說或理論，他們不是真理，所以他們都不能真正解釋和解决人的根本問題，包括生老病死、勞苦愁煩、對死亡的恐懼和人的罪性和罪行。他們自己也從來沒有稱自己是神。只是后来的人（也有少數當時的人）把他們尊奉為神。其實是人把自己當成神了，但人手所造的不是神。
第三組：每個詞裡都有一个“羊”字。那些词都是神的屬性。聖經表明耶穌是代罪的羔羊，祂具有神/上帝的一切屬性。 讓我告訴您一个好消息，耶穌是人類包括你我的唯一的救主。大約2000多年前受天父上帝的差遣，祂道成肉身（上帝變成人），降世為人。祂甘願為我们的罪被釘死在十字架上，被埋葬，第三日從死裡復活，先後向500多位門徒顯現，40天后在許多人面前升天，到現在一直坐在天父上帝的右邊。祂還要再來到這個世界，接所有的信徒上天堂（包括已經死了的信徒），並且審判活人和死人。使徒約翰在看到耶穌向他走來时說：“看哪，神的羔羊，除去世人罪孽的。”（請參閱約翰福音1：29）。現在每年全球有超過25億人慶祝復活節，因為沒有祂的復活人類就没有盼望。耶穌從死裡復活是一个歷史事件，除了聖經以外，大百科全書和許多歷史學家的著作裡都記載了這件事。世界上最大的兩個節日（一个是聖誕節，另一个是復活節）都是為耶穌而設的。世界的計年是按耶穌降世的日子為分界點的（公元前和公元後）。您從漢字裡也能看到耶穌的影子，這些詞包括公義、美善、吉祥、榜樣，等，這些詞都代表上帝的屬性，他們裡面都有“羊”，說明耶穌作為代罪的羔羊具有上帝的屬性。請仔細看榜樣的“樣”，左邊是“木”，它代表耶穌被掛在木頭上（被釘死在十字架上）（請參彼得前書2：24）；右上方是“羊”，它代表耶穌是代罪的羔羊（請參約翰福音1：29）；右下方是“永”，它代表信耶穌的人有永生。約翰福音第3章第16節寫到：神愛世人，甚至將祂的獨生子（耶穌基督）賜給他們，叫一切信祂的，不至滅亡，反得永生。耶穌在約翰福音第14章第6節說：“我就是道路、真理、生命; 若不藉著我, 沒有人能到父（天父上帝）那裡（天堂）去。”
我相信我改變不了您的信仰。但我相信：上帝愛你，祂在找你。我也愛你，我会為你禱告。我相信您是最愛您自己的。我相信人人如此。但不是每个人都知道如何愛自己。您如果真愛自己的話，您一定要先愛神，加上愛人如己。另外，您要愛您的靈魂勝過愛您的肉身，因為肉身是短暫的，靈魂是永恆的。萬事都可以等待，唯有信耶穌這件事不能等待。您現在就要知道您永恆的家在哪裡，因為黃泉路上無老少，躺在棺材裡的是死人（不只是老人）。您從信耶穌的那一刻開始就走在永生的路上-人唯一的從死裡逃生的蒙福之路。一切真理都來自上帝，都寫在聖經裡。真正的平安和满足來自耶穌基督。我建議您抽時間每天讀一点聖經。您可以從路加福音開始，接著按順序讀完新約聖經。再開始讀創世紀，按順序讀完舊約聖經。再接著讀新約聖經。您可以每天固定時間讀30分鐘聖經。如您覺得時間不夠，您可以自己加時間。您如果每天堅持讀三章聖經的話，您可以在一年之內讀完一遍聖經。您可以直接讀，也可以使用聖經綜合解讀讀（www.cmcbiblereading.com)。您如果想直接讀，您又沒有聖經，您可以上網讀，也可以上網聽，只要打入所需閱讀的書卷名和章節就可以了。您也可以下載聖經到您的手機上。我是用YouVersion下載的。當今著名的化學家Dr. James Tour讀大學一年級時認罪悔改信耶穌。現在他常說：很少有人在認真讀完新約聖經兩遍以後不信耶穌的。他的媽媽先讀了一遍新約聖經，接著讀完舊約聖經，在72歲時信耶穌。您雖然還没有信耶穌，您也可以直接向天父上帝禱告，祈求聖靈引導您儘早認識主耶穌基督。等教堂重開後，您可以星期天到離您家近的、尊崇耶穌基督並傳講聖經真理的教堂做禮拜/聽道，那裡的弟兄姊妹一定会歡迎您。最後，我祈願上帝的靈感動您早日歸信宇宙萬物的主宰、獨一的真神、萬福之根、愛您的並且從死裡復活還要很快再臨這個世界審判世人的主耶穌基督！如有疑問，請及時聯繫！

@@williamwei9524 首先你有點過份，不應該用別人的頻道，傳播不相關的內容。其次你不澄清一下你的教派和教義觀點。你引用的中文譯本也沒有出處，和KJV KJ21相差極大，恐嚇的成分多於福音。請就此打住。

Jiggling leg is definitely rude in the old time in Asia. My parents snapped at us every time when they saw me or my brother doing that when we were much younger. Now I don't like people jiggling legs either.
thank you so much！

Thanks.
I recall there's a Chinese-language book written by Hong Kong actress-turned-psychologist Josephine Siao on western etiquette, just wondering if Susie has read it before.
記得香港的蕭芳芳曾經出過一本名為「洋相」的中文書介紹西方禮儀，不知版主讀過沒有。

About jiggling your legs. There is a saying 樹搖葉落，人搖福薄。so you can see it is something you will get told off by others.
p.s. this saying rhymes in Cantonese and not so much in Mandarin, so may not be generally known in Taiwan nor northern China

Jiggling your leg is a posture people behave when they are anxious or quite in a smug self-satisfication. The former shows their impatience with the companion, while the latter is in general not a pleased scene, and either way it doesn't show one's control on his or her behavior and emotion.

Not all Chinese have the same culture. South and north Chinese are different culture. Also all Chinese have their own local language. Even foods are big different. Old generation oversea Chinese are coming from Southern part of China. (Canton area) Most of them speaking Cantonese or Tao Shan. Chinese said jiggle your leg at the dinner table are not polite. Some old age Chinese said jiggle your leg mean your fortune will falling off follow your jiggle action. Haha funny right
Jiggling legs happens with young people much more and it's a subconscious movement. Sometimes someone commenting "you're jiggling your legs" is enough to get the person to stop. It's not rude but a bit unhealthy.
please adding English subtitles exactly what you say as previous video. tks
小時候抖腳都被長輩罵說是「不正小孩」
Jiggling one’s leg or tapping one’s foot is a no no - 樹搖葉落，人搖福薄！A jiggling tree shed its leaves. A jiggling person is void of his or her blessing in life.
interesting lesson，gorgeous girl
不行~~我是不能容忍吃飯的時候有人在一旁『jigging leg』抖腳，還有，用自己的舌頭去清潔(?)自已塞在牙齒間的食物殘渣所發出來的那個『嘶嘶』的聲音，太惡心了QQ....
謝謝分享英國的餐桌禮儀，我在看Murder on the Orient Express(台譯 : 東方快車謀殺案)時，也有發現連在吃甜點時也會在脖子上圍上圍巾~~用刀叉，小口小口的吃~
Jiggling is considered as being impolite in Hong Kong, although you would still find quite a few people jiggling in local eating places. 😂
Why Woo is 戴？

嗨舒萱，谢谢你的分享。在马来西亚，吃东西时抖脚一般上认为是不礼貌的行为。可能会有人直接告诉你说请你别抖脚。
In America forget about it.. we just use our fingers now. We grab tacos like the Mexicans, eat pizzas like the Italians, mix rice & naan like Indians ... The Queen is going to be so disappointed after two hundred some years... 😂😂
Thanks for good information.
Can anyone tell me why I followed those etiquettes in an American restaurant, everyone looked at me like an idiot? And the staff refused to give me knives and forks!
I swear I won't go to KFC anymore, their staff and customers are so strange.
Silverware and Table Manners. 😅
In Chinese culture, same as slouching, jiggling is not allowed. In middle or upper class family, usually Mom will discipline her child who jiggling his/her legs.
some people say those who jiggle will eventaully shake away their weath (人搖福薄)
中国北方人管slouch叫“吊儿郎当”
中文有句成語：人搖福薄，樹摇葉落。 😅

About jiggling legs: I don't think it is necessarily perceived as rude in China or Hong Kong, not sure about Taiwan though. Historically it might have been unacceptable. Personally, I hate it. I never allow myself to do it. And when my partner does it, it bugs me a lot.
看9完不想去英国了，太麻烦了
good video
One thing I can't stand is loud eating, but that's due to my own pathology of misophonia.
Jiggle can be seen as a weirded or rude behaviour but people around won’t voice out. However, people are very forgiving if it’s related to medical issue or psychological issue.
