8 Food Customs Across the World
There’s no denying it, we live in a weird and wonderful globalised world. Each day, it seems we learn about a new custom which, while interesting, may not necessarily be our cup of tea.
So when taking on the world and travelling across the seas, it would be wise to check out the local customs.
1. Slurp! Loudly slurping your noodles in Japan to show how much you really love the dish.
