Korean Table Manners

Table Manners
* Lifting a spoon or chopsticks before the elders do is not considered mannered.
Finishing meal before the elders do is not considered mannered, either.
* When pouring wine or any kind of beverage to the elders, use both hands to hold the wine bottle.
When your cup is poured by the elders, use both hands to hold the cup.
If you are drinking in front of elders, turn your torso a bit (20 degree) to the side and drink .

Before the meal, always tell your hostess, " Jal Muk Get Sup Ni Da."
-I will have a good meal- (Thank you for the meal.)
After the meal, "Jal Muk Ut Sup Ni Da."
-I had a good meal - (That was very good.)
Don't get confused with one from the other!!

Facts about Korean Meal
* In old times, having meals was the most important thing for a Korean.
In Korea, people still asks each other "Have you had lunch (or dinner)?" instead of "How are you?"
* Most of the Koreans love to eat hot and spicy food.
But, Korea started importing chilly peppers from 18 Century.
Imagine! Koreans eating white Kimchi (Baek Kimchi) everyday, instead of red Kimchi.
* Chinese and Japanese use only chopsticks when eating rice.
Somehow, Koreans use spoons.
When eating rice, lifting a rice bowl close to one's mouth is not considered mannered in Korea, while it is OK in China and in Japan.
