Asian and Western Dinner Etiquette - Differences

[@StuUngar]

I worked with a Vietnamese guy that would slurp, smack, and talk with food in his mouth. He made one of the girls in the office throw up and she had to move offices further down the hall

[@tubulartopher]

😂

[@yumisam1258]

I'm Vietnamese but was taught to use dinner etiquette in Western style since my mom and dad used to live in the EU. So I find people making sounds while eating really disgusting. Of course, it's not the sound when you eat something crunchy. Just don't talk while your mouth is full of food and smack

[@ryanrodrigues6127]

When two different cultures meet.

[@taylordguitar]

Holt fuck this is hilarious. I live with Asians for the first time and I still can not stand there slurpig noises fucking vile

[@chuckery5177]

Slurping doesn’t mean “thank you” It means the food is SOOOO good that you can’t wait for it to cool so you’re forced to slurp to avoid burns. This reflects the quality of the dish and the noise let’s chefs know that they did great!

[@yukingstarcraftmaste]

actually this dish is soumen. really cold dish.

this was so uncomfortable for me and im not even from Japan lmao

[@themacrofolks863]

@@lilingli7813 Jake’s for me. Elders are slurping in short bursts with a bowl right beneath, while Jake ‘s noodle is above his pants. And Jake doesn’t slurp, he sucks in the noodles at 45 degree angle from the bowl.

Anyway, which movie is this from?

[@ssoh04190915]

Uh...that asian etiquette doesnt go for Korea. Japanese purposefully make all those sounds to express the idea that the food is delicious. To them, thats the polite manner, and I think its perfectly understandable. Meanwhile, in Korea, if you bring your bowl to your mouth or make those slurping sounds, or even talk too much, you are considered a rude lowclass idiot, which is also understandable. Anyway, please dont think Japanese etiquette is a representation of all Asian manners,

[@CarlH08]

i think every culture has thier own differences,and every country has thier own etiquette,we just have to learn to accept and respect each others differences specialy when we are traveling in to thier country.

[@unitedstatesofanime222]

JAPAN and USA

[@arsys68]

+shreker Your understanding is quite right, but there are also some misunderstandings. The Japanese does not aim to make this sound. We do not feel uncomfortable because it is a sound that comes out naturally in the process of eating noodles most deliciously. It is also a proof that the person is doing the right way of eating, so we may feel that sound is stylish. This scene of movie emphasizes the sound a lot, so it is felt a bit annoying even by Japanese people. Well, I think that this is a very interesting scene that expresses straightforwardly the difference in food culture.

[@aminewaffleuwu15]

but i mostly see koreans slurping their noodles lol

slurping the noodles is considered good manners in Japan as it shows you enjoy the meal, so don't roast the Japanese guys in the video, though their slurping is a bit over the top.

[@tainle]

it is bad manner and sounds annoying, japanese never earn my respect with their cultures. very sexist and discriminatory country,

[@EmperorMingg]

Never seen an Asian family meal so quiet.

[@johnlee4277]

in East Asia except Korea,it's good to slurp noodles becuase it cools the noodles down and its express that you enjoy your meal

[@anhduynguyen396]

In Vietnam, you use a spoon to cut noodles short and put it on the same spoon with broth to eat without being noisy. Many people feel uncomfortable or even angry when they're near loud eaters

[@가짜방송국]

Korea does as well.

[@OsmanWarrior]

ok so lets be clear, if your in Asia where ppl slurp you slurp, but if you are in Europe you dont slurp. Easy

[@charumathis5029]

Not that simple...in many Asian cultures (especially in the South east) and subcultures, slurping is considered rude and off-putting. On the other hand, the slurping sounds that noodle commercials make is for the benefit of the westerners and the western-influenced who enjoy their gravies...At the same time snobbish European/American families cannot stand a peep at the table, whereas in Asia it has a lot to do with where in the social hierarchy the culture stands....so not simple...thing is westerners are stereotyped as folks who could be insensitive or ignorant or even deliberately disrespectful of other cultures...which is why when they actually integrate well, they're treated with great respect. Being open is key, and works everywhere except for snobs and bullies
