One must eat to survive and most importantly one must eat in style to survive in today’s society – after all, etiquette has become a necessity than a just a practice! And there is no arguing the fact that a good dining set is a very important part of these ‘sauvities’.
As diverse as this world is, people from different regions have different concepts to etiquettes. Speaking of which, here’s a list of the world’s strangest meal-time practices. If you do go to one of these places, be careful to follow their ‘norms’!

· In India, the Middle East and some parts of Africa, eating with your left hand is considered unclean!
· In Mexico, to eat delicacies like taco, with a knife and fork is considered pompous!
· In Chile, touching food with your hand is considered uncultured!
· In Russia, you are expected to rest your hands on the table, not on your lap.
· In Italy, asking for extra cheese is considered a sin!
