Table manners differ around the world. If you visit your friends for a meal, it's good to know about the
customs they follow. If you are invited to a Moroccan's home, bring a gift of sweet pastries, nuts, figs, dates,
or flowers to the hostess. In many traditional homes, people often sit on the floor to eat a meal. Often,
everyone shares food from the same plate, which is put in the centre of the table. Usually, everyone also
drinks water from the same glass. Only eat the food in front of you. Don't reach across someone for food. It
is common to use your fingers and small pieces of bread to eat food. Use only your right hand to eat. Don't
say 'no' to food. If the host of the meal offers you food or drink, take some and try a little. In many Moroccan
homes, it is common to take off your shoes.
Tanzania is known for its fresh fish and spices. Don't act scared if your meal comes with its head still on the plate. It is
polite to try a bite of everything. In many Tanzanian homes, people sit at a table on small stools to eat. It is fine to eat
with your right hand, using bread or chapati to pick up food. Everyone may take food from the same plate, but it is not
usual for people to share drinks. You may compliment the cook on a delicious meal, but don't exaggerate. In some
parts of Tanzania, men and women still sit at different tables. Also remember: it is common to take off your shoes in
the home, but it is rude to show the bottom of your foot.
