I love all the ritualized behaviour, secret meanings and unexpected taboos - standing up when someone of higher status stands, elaborate rules for serving and eating, tapping the table to thank the server, never refuse a toast from a superior, stuff like that.

Whether it’s about meals or anything else, I’d love to hear about any uncommon politeness standard or similar social behaviour that goes on in your location, culture or restaurant!

    Honestly though, in a five star restaurant you don’t modify your food**. Trust the chef to make something good.

    **Except for allergies or ARFID or something

      You take the automatic RFID chip out of your food? How else will the app know when you’ve finished digesting?
