List of Language Practices Associated with Food (take two) :)

So...now that I better understand the topic and assignment:

-Saying "cheers"

Before taking a sip of your drink, this is said, often as glasses are clinking together. Other common ones include Slainte in Irish Gaelic, Salud (in Spanish countries and Italy), Kampai (in Japan), and L'Chaim (Jewish cultures).

-ordering food at a restaurant

-having the specials read at a restaurant

-calling people to the table

-saying a prayer

Usually done before the first bite.

-Bon Appetit!

-Dig in!

-Refrains in the name of "table etiquette"

elbows off the table, don't feed the dog, eat your vegetables, finish your food, don't play with your food, put that away
