Food etiquette in Mexico

Mexico has modern industry and agriculture, and its capital and largest city is Mexico City. The following is the "Mexico of Food Etiquette" carefully arranged by me for your reference! I hope I can help you! Please continue to pay attention to more etiquette knowledge!

The traditional foods of Mexicans in Mexico are mainly corn, kidney beans and peppers. Known as the "three big things" that Mexicans must have on the table. Mexican food is mainly spicy, and some people even add some Chili powder when eating fruit. Mexicans also have a hobby of eating cactus. In their view, cactus, like bananas, pineapples and watermelons, can be eaten as fruit. In Mexico, many people have a hobby of cooking with insects.

First of all, Mexican dining etiquette.

Mexico is a country that attaches great importance to etiquette. Mexicans pay attention to etiquette, courtesy, frankness and hospitality. Mexicans like to invite friends to their homes and entertain them with ethnic meals. When eating in a Mexican family, the host and guests sit around a rectangular table. The host sits at one end of the main table, the main guests sit at the other end of the long table facing the host, and others sit on both sides of the table according to the host's arrangement.

When eating, don't put your arms on the dining table, don't move too much, and sit upright. Don't gobble when eating, don't make a "beep" sound, don't talk when chewing food, and don't sit in a daze to avoid embarrassing the host. If the soup or drink is too hot, wait until it is cold before using it. It is not allowed to blow it with your mouth to cool it down. You'd better finish all the dishes on the plate, there is a little left on the plate. You can't scratch it with your hands or wipe it with slices of bread. Bread should be broken into small pieces and put into your mouth, not eaten whole. Fruit should be cut into small pieces with a knife to eat. Peels and stones should not be thrown on the table or on the ground, but should be placed on a plate. After dinner, the host leaves first, and then the guests get up and leave to thank the host.

Second, the eating habits of Mexicans

"The traditional Mexican diet is a cultural model, including agriculture, rituals, ancient skills, cooking techniques and customs and etiquette handed down from ancient times. Including the process from planting and harvesting to making and enjoying, the whole chain shows the enjoyment of traditional diet by the whole people. " UNESCO describes the traditional Mexican diet in this way.

Mexico is famous for its diet with corn, beans and peppers as its main ingredients, and its ancient cooking methods and traditional customs related to diet are equally unique. Roasted mutton in Monterrey, Trayoda in Oaxaca, minced meat in Michoacan, Morey sauce in Puebla, sauces and tortillas everywhere ... Behind the colorful dishes, the unique cooking culture has attracted more attention.

Mexico is the hometown of corn. Many people like to drink corn porridge and eat tortillas, which are considered delicious by the poor and the rich. When they entertain foreign guests, they often provide unique and delicious cactus food from their hometown, which amazes the guests. Mexico is rich in peppers, and they can eat them especially. If compared with Sichuanese in China, they are not inferior. Some people are happy to sprinkle some Chili noodles even when eating fruit. The indigenous Astek people in Mexico regard frogs, tadpoles, agave insects, shrimps, ants, crickets, water flies, fly eggs and so on. As delicious food, some of them are considered as excellent delicacies. They are used to eating western food and prefer Chinese food.
