Indian Dining Etiquette

This post will cover the bases of Indian dining rituals and unspoken laws. I thought learning about all of it was very interesting!
1. Indians typically don't use cutlery for eating; they use their hands instead.
2. You must always use your right hand to recieve, eat, or pick up food.
3. It is considered rude and unhygenic to offer food or cutlery that has come into contact with yours or someone else's saliva or mouth.
4. You must have good posture when eating, and if you are sitting on the floor, you must have your legs crossed.
5. Always eat food as it is served: asking for salt or pepper is considered disrespectful.
6. Lastly, you must not play with your food or distort it in any way; you must also eat at a steady medium pace: eating too slow implies that you do not like the cooking, and eating too fast is rude.

I hope this provided some similarities and some differences between two cultures!
