I recently tried to look up Moroccan table manners, and was disappointed with Wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you can see the connection.
Moroccan Table Manners
ReplyDelete. Food is generally served at a knee-high round table.
. The guest of honour generally sits next to the host.
. A washing basin will be brought to the table before the meal is served. Hold your hands over the basin while water is poured over them. Dry your hands on the towel provided.
. Do not begin eating until the host blesses the food or begins to eat.
. Food is served from a communal bowl.
. Eat from the section of the bowl that is in front of you. Never reach across the bowl to get something from the other side. As an honoured guest, choice cuts will be put in front of you.
. Scoop the food with a piece of bread or the thumb and first two fingers of the right hand.
. Eat and drink only with the right hand.
. Do not wipe your hands on your napkin.
. Water is often served from a communal glass. If you want your own glass, ask for a soft drink.
. The washing basin will be brought around the table again at the end of the meal.
. Expect to be urged to take more food off the communal plate. Providing an abundance of food is a sign of hospitality.

Is Lima pronounced like the Ohio version...LIME-AH or is it pronounced like the city in Peru...LEE-MA? I don't want to be talking to a military man in dress whites and mispronouncing. Please clarify? -Steph
