Don't Gross Out The World
I can't vouch for the accuracy of all of the questions on this dining etiquette quiz but it's entertaining. I got 8 out of 11 correct. Speaking of international dining etiquette reminds me of a story from my mother-in-law. In Slovak culture, a guest is asked three times whether they would like more to eat. Proper etiquette dictates that you kindly turn down the first two requests and then acquiesce on the third. When my mother-in-law moved to the United States she quickly learned that here you need to answer in the affirmative the first time. Otherwise, you probably won't be asked again.
