thanks for your E-Mail, let me give you some information about food an table manners in Austria/ our family and so on.
If you come to Austria there are no unusually table manners. But some things are different!
An example:
You go in a restaurant and you needn't wait in by the door, the waiter will accompany you to your table and ask if everything is ok.
Restaurants in Austria:
Food in Austria is everywhere very deliscious. The best of all in Austria is the Wiener Schnitzel, you can have it in every restaurant.
Austian people are mostly very patient and eating insects is becoming more and more popular
in Austria.
Eating habits in Austria:
You should use cutlery when eating. For the soup you need a spoon and for the other meals you should eat it with the fork and the knife. But if you eat a chicken, you will be allowed to eat with your fingers.
You shouldn't burb and fart by the table and you shouldn't eat with an open mouth. Slurping by eating a soup isn't allowed!
Eating with my Family:
We go to a restaurant twice a month, my mom is a good cook, we love eating at home, we have a buffet at school where you can buy a wide selection of food.
Eating at school:
It's easy to explain, because we have a buffet in the school and there you can buy the food for yourself. They have a menu with many foods!
See you soon,
Your Patrick.
