When you eat rice do you...

[Pooh Bear]

man as long as i got my damn rice, i'm set for the day.

[ZeUs!!]

In Britain, you generally leave a little food to show the host that they have been hospitable enough to fill you - that makes them happy.

What? I eat until I'm full up and when I'm full up I stop eating

[4kings]

i once shoved chopsticks up my nose... i'll never do it again.

You can kill people like that...

[genocidal]

I always order 3 pints of rice and I obviously never make it myself because that's a job for Asian people. Then, with a plastic fork that I always throw into the street afterward, I eat about 7 bites of soy sauce soaked rice and throw the rest away because I don't give a fuck that much.

[Dabram]

and the next time you'll be eating cocks and shit.

[Nockm]

wtf, wut did u get that shit from?

If you're Asian (chinese mainly), you might've heard the myth that older folk will tell you when you are young, saying that if you don't finish all the rice in your bowl, all the leftover grains of rice in your bowl will end up on your future husband or wife's face in the form of pimples.

e.g. that above

clumpy.

clumps.

[Troll King]

All cultures have similar beliefs and superstitions like that, such as the one about throwing salt over your shoulder if you spill some on the table, but you'd have to be a lame troll to say that any of those are "bursting full of bullshit".

I have always learned to put my knife and fork on the same side of the plate to show you're done.

you are a fucking loser en je doet waarschijnlijk alles wat men zegt dat je moet doen

[Galleleo]

God soup, you are so schizo.. one moment you are sucking up to me and the next you are doing this.. this thread isn't about me or you, so plz, take some pills and stfu.

After that, I've had the habit of cleaning out my bowl clean, sometimes using some tongue action. Wasting food is bad anyhow. How about you, you, and YOU?

Also: When you're finished eating dinner with chopsticks, do you leave the chopsticks on the table or lying across the bowl. Apparently if you lay your chopsticks across the bowl, it means you show no respect to the person who made it for you. So me, being a sucker for these things since I was young, never place my chopsticks on top of the bowl when I'm finished.

There's also a few ways to hold your bowl properly, but I won't get into that :greedy:

I LOL at this thread, KIM. I've heard that story about the pimples a few times from my grandparents and relatives that live in Taiwan. I put my chopsticks on the table, because I'm done with them.

i wonder how these (weird) traditions and etiquettes came about

[Riesen]

I don't really believe in all that superstitious nonsense. I mean, if I step on a crack, I'm pretty sure I won't break my mother's back...I think it's silly to live your life in fear of some goofy little fairy tale.

[K2Grey]

I eat as much rice as I see fit to and place the chopsticks horizontally across the top of the bowl (or more frequently toss both into the sink).

[Epinephrine]

Wow how come I've never heard about these things that Kim has talked about. Maybe I don't pay enough attention... that or my parents aren't on crack :/
