>Americans resting before finishing a meal

>>16730849
How do you say "I'm taking a shit"?

>>16730861

>>16730849
I've been doing this since I was a little kid, but don't remember anyone actually showing me. I do the resting knife American style and the resting fork Continental, though. It always seemed weird to me when people didn't know you're supposed to do some variation on this.

>>16730849
"I'm resting" - poke the waiter with a fork until he gets his hands away from your plate
"I'm finished" - turn the plate upside down, gravy and all.

the fuck is the difference between "break" and "pause"?

>>16730889
oh fuck I always did the "did not like" as a kid, I didn't know it meant that I hope the chefs didn't either.

literally everything is verboten

>>16730909
If anybody is going to know it's a chef but they're also not going to care because you were a child.

what pretentious bullshit

>>16730954
t. uncultured thug

>>16730924
why are asians so autistic holy shit

>>16730957
they don't serve cutlery at micky ds, your table manners at home don't impress anyone

>>16730903
pausing eating the current dish vs delaying the next dish

>>16730965
oh, that makes sense

>>16730858
dude, I've witnessed amer*cans praying before a meal and clapping afterwards.

>>16731018
details, plz

>>16730924
I will do about half of the things on that list and there is nothing you can do to stop me.

>>16730924
>doing anything with chopstick
>japs freak out

Only they would gatekeep cutlery

>>16731446
it's not even cutlery have you ever tried cutting anything with chopstick those things be round

>>16730924
>>16730961
>>16731268
>>16731446
Should be noted that most Japs really won't do shit if you don't follow their chopstick etiquette. Respect is a big cultural thing, and criticizing a customer or guest is seen as extremely disrespectful and shameful. Unless you're bothering other guests, they'll mostly just bite their tongue and bear with your foreign antics.

This is kind of why anonymous sites like this are popular over there, so people can actually vent without the fear of being known as a disrespectful person.

>>16730961
Of course if you put it down in a list like this it seems autistic, but the idea is to just not be a rude asshole.

You can make an autistic list like this for American eating etiquette as well. Like don't eat with your mouth open, don't use your fork to pick up food from other dishes, don't lick your fingers, etc. The type of shit your mom would nag you about, but nothing that really matters if you are eating alone.

>>16731519
we's got freedoms we can do all 'o that shiit fool

>>16731502
>Should be noted that most Japs really won't do shit if you don't follow their chopstick etiquette.

That's because they view gaijin as cutely pathetic retards who will never into Japanese society/culture. But once you realize that, you have unlocked real ultimate power and can do anything you want.

>>16730924
>burying
pfft what?

>>16730849
When I'm done Ill just throw the plate and the silverware in the trash.

>>16730849

>>16731519
American etticute:
>Pray before meal
>Immediately start eating
>Don't stop to chew
>Cutlery is for decoration - don't use it!
>Chew with your mouth open
>Lick your fingers after the meal to compliment chef bubba
>Clap as you stand up
>Tip every person you see on the way out

>>16730849
I know about the finished position but I've never heard of the "I'm resting" position.

>>16731867
My fucking sides

>>16731908
it's the polite way to communicate to the waiter that you don't wish to be waken up

>>16730924
>>16731446
>transferring is taboo
Haha I'm here with a date and you aren't.

>>16730849
table etiquette is retarded as hell. just dont be a slob.

>>16730924
Almost all of these are bad manners with a knife and fork too.

>>16731553
Then you can french kiss their wives with a mouth full of rice and claim that that's how Americans feed each other.

>>16730861
That's what "I'm resting" means, it's to say "Don't take my plate, I'm not done yet," so that can be used if you have to excuse yourself from the table.

>>16730849
only stupid gooks believe this is real

FFS you dumb cunt, no one cares

>>16730849
is this loss?

>>16730849
>Continental style
Which continent, though?

>>16731502
>guide in English
>everyone thinks it's 100% real authentic Japanese ten commandments
80% of this shit no one even does naturally. Have you ever seen anyone, in any country, use chopsticks to drag something to them?

>>16730924
most of these are just common sense, that apply to any utensil. However shoveling is something that you see in Asian countries all the time, It certainly doesn't seem verboten to them.

>>16730924
>can't shake off bits of food stuck to chopsticks
>not allowed to lick them off either

What the hell do you do with it, then?

yeah i learned all this shit at cotillion right after my elocution courses

>>16733367
Cram it up your ass

>>16731018
>>16731134
Well, they first identify Europeans based on their writing style.

>>16730936
>If anybody is going to know it's a chef
it would be the matron D.

>>16730849
Americans do not use both onife and fork.

Debunked.

>>16733367
Put it on your mouth. The point is not to stick your tongue out.
>>16731981
A date with an acrobatic neanderthal? Why the fuck are you attempting an airborne chopstick to chopstick transfer? Just leave it on your plate for them to pick it up from or use the back of your chopsticks to move it to a neutral/sharing plate.

>>16733881
my tongue is a weapon and my stomach is a graveyard. the nips fear the yankee gustation

>>16731856
The fork is missing because it's the only way they can dislodge the fecal matter from their fat smushed sphincter.

>>16733881
>why not just leave it on your plate or use the sterile part of your sticks to put it on a clean plate for them so you don't offend other people
How romantic.

>>16731867
Buts fucking based though?

>>16733706
Imagine being so obsessed with Europe that you post this.

>>16731867
Somebody post the being indian eating ediquite video

>>16733086
The wheel kinds

>>16730889
>>16730903
Imagine being so autistic that you had to communicate with your waiter through occult symbology rather than just opening your mouth and speaking

>>16731867
sounds like a jolly good time

>>16730924
lolwut, shoveling is common practice in asia. That seems more like something a westerner would find offensive that got tossed in there.

>>16730849
Weird but yes. I grew up in Germany, and remember actually being told this by my uncle when I was maybe 6 years old. It's still something I do automatically to this day.... Knife and fork together means done, knife and fork in V shape means not done.

Interesting to see this again online 25 years after hearing it for the first and last time.

Couldn't have been bad if your plate was empty

>>16733881
>>16734032
Exactly. There's no sense of romance or intimacy in using a shared plate.

>>16730849
I only heard about this bullshit about 15 years ago since then I have kept an eye out at restaurants to see if anyone does it.

they don't.

>>16734019
it's a poop fork. it's annoying when I eat at a fancy place and they expect me to use the smaller dedicated poop fork. I just bring my dinner fork with me. no one is going to tell me what to do

>>16732800
...........i-is that not how you Americans feed each other?

>>16734397
>speaking to the help
you are a funny man

>>16734410
Shoveling is considered offensive in South Korea because South Koreans try really hard to differentiate themselves from Japan. Whoever made that image is lumping all the Asian countries together at once.

>>16731018
>he's never eaten an applause-worthy meal
Limey detected

>>16730903
break is taking a shit in the bathroom
pause is when you stop eating to take a sip of wine.

>>16733089
The guide is intended for chinkoids from bumfuck villages on chinkland….not whites. They are fucking filthy disgusting slobs with no manners to even worth mentioning. They will pick their nose with their chopsticks and spit on the floor if there wasn’t a decree and infographic written out for them.

>>16730924
>cant pick the items you prefer
>cant move the chopsticks towards the food
>cant insert the chopsticks in the bowl to pick up whatever you want to eat
how the fuck are you supposed to use it then? leave the sticks at the table and telepathically teleport the food to your stomach?

>>16734397
>Speaking to the working class

>>16734810
>>16735907
>never speak to the working class
>never expect the revolution

>>16734397
If you're taking a shit, they wont be there for you to speak to them

>>16731867
>forgetting the ceremonial shart at the end

>>16730924
>>16732775
this

>>16731856
fucking lold

>>16735907
> Not understanding the difference between working class and serving class

>>16738042
Based

>>16731867
This but unironically

>>16734307
Imagine being so obsessed with America that you post this.

>>16738221
Imagine being a goat for a day and spending time in the goat tower.

>>16738225
Rude, that's Islamophobic

>>16730849
How the fuck is the American style resting position supposed to tell anyone anything? It just looks like you've lazily left your knife and fork on the plate

>>16736556
>his waiter isn't an uncle Ted
Hope you didn't leave a tip
