Patiently Waiting
Did you grow up in a family where your parents had you wait for everyone to be seated to start eating? Every culture is different when it comes to rules surrounding food and meals. For us, eating together has always been a great way to spend time with those important to us.
In many cultures, it is considered impolite to eat before everyone else. One guest went out to eat with friends. When the guest got their plate first, they dug right in. They were culture-shocked by their friends being offended. They had not waited for everyone else to get their food. It is considered impolite not to wait in many cultures and is something to consider when you travel somewhere new.
