Did you also know that when you are in a Restaurant (Abroad,don't know about Nigeria) and you are given the menu to order,until you close it and place it on the Table,no one will approach you to take your order....
I have learnt a lot of things on how to behave at the eating table and some of these things that one must not do would shock you....that is for those who do not know...
Who has learnt new Table and eating behaviour?
Wetin I don learn be say for Oyinbo them land -especially Europe, the rules/laws
ReplyDeletewey dey govern chop big pass their constitution. 😯😯😯😯
That's one of the reasons I like home. You see food, you chop. No time to dey do calculation. Persin

😊😊😊😊😊
Aaaah.. Dem rules o ti poju!!!
DeleteHome na eat as you go!..
😁😁😁😁😁😁
DeleteHahahahahahahhahah @ Anno13*08
DeleteEspecially French people
Oriegwu!! All I know is, fork and knife is definitely not for me so don't wanna know.
ReplyDeleteWe are in the same WhatsApp group Sandy. I just ask for fish when I'm outside so that I don't show myself.
DeleteI have tried several time to order take outs so that I can try the fork and knife thing at home, it works at home but when I get outside, my village people still always make me show myself 🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️
learn sha just in case you find yourself where it is necessary
DeleteI don't really care for cutlery setting so long as i'm using the right fork. Lol
ReplyDeleteOne thing i NEVER do is use the cloth napkins, i always ask for paper napkins. I ll be damned if i wipe snot remnants or spittle across my lips using a napkin that isn't properly washed. 🤢🤢
And you think they will serve you with napkins not properly washed abroad???
DeleteMaybe in Nigeria, but definitely not in the Western countries.
Now I can never use napkins without thinking of the image your comment just conjured 😥😥
Delete😡😡😡

ReplyDeleteI love this Stella. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHad no idea about all of this.
Reminds me of a program I saw on BBC Lifestyle yesterday 'feeding the filthy rich' or so where a woman from Uzbek abi Russia actually employed the service of a trainer on etiquette for drinking tea like a proper English woman. Things they tale serious over there😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteI know. I went to a finishing school. But kinda wasted here in Nigeria. Not part of our culture
ReplyDeleteBoth my parents were in the hospitality industry when I was young so I learned all this and I really don't care about it much today. I know all the rules and protocol, and it is just a waste if time. Food should be enjoyed and ppl should be eating completely relaxed and at ease, not having to think and remember they don't forget one step. I am not saying you should eat like a pig eating from a trough, but ease up on all these rules. Some of them are not even practical or realistic in the current society.
ReplyDeleteInteresting 👍
ReplyDeleteYou mean eat amala, abula and orisirisi with fork and knife? Waht of ofe nsala? Abegi, these people just keep enslaving us- Language, food, wardrobe (including weavon and wigs) etc. Which one exactly is our culture and when will they themselves start appreciating us and our ways? Let them learn to use their hands to eat banga and starch too, mtcheews.
ReplyDeleteI don't see the etiquette for unbuckle belt, roll sleeves and wash hands.
ReplyDeleteHahahaaaa
DeleteYou forgot
Loosen tie and throw to the back
