many traditional homes, people often sit on the floor to eat a meal. Often, everyone shares food from the same 10 plate. The
plate is put in the centre of the table. Usually, everyone also drinks water from the same glass. Only eat the food in front of
you. Don’t reach across someone for food. It is common to use you your fingers and small pieces of bread to eat food. Use
only your right hand to eat. Don’t say “no” to food. If the host of the meal offers you food or drink, take some and try a little.
In many Moroccan homes, it is common to take off your shoes.
Tanzania is known for its fresh fish and spices. Don’t act scared if your meal comes with its head still on the plate. It is
