In Islamic eating manners used by Iranian culture, has been recommended to chew the food from 40 to 70 times and drink in some gulps. Eating together is recommended too. Saying GOD's name at the beginning or if you forget during eating is needed. read more on the link:

It seems to me we should have a lot less instruction here (surely the rules are never and have never been this consistent, changing every few generations) and a lot more about the history and psychology of manners. I came here to read up on how such things as social rules are invented and enforced and what defense, if any, has been devised to justify an act that would otherwise be unthinkable in civilized cultures.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.206.153 ( talk • contribs) 30 November 2015

There is insufficient information on licking of utensils, and how this is viewed between different cultures. I know that licking chop sticks is frowned upon in Asia, but what about forks / sporks elsewhere? - Roy Boy 14:40, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Yes I agree, can we please stop using pop culture / trend writers as sources for our culture? Surely many of us know these articles are pure fiction / entertainment, no?

The Emily's Post citations are exclusively things that are made up, or things that don't apply to North America specifically. I can go and publish my own articles to contradict those ... but really they're pure fiction, I don't know why they're acceptable. It'd be appalling to me and my family if people stuck eaten food onto their forks and removed it from their mouths. It seems like a joke that's actually published on the page here. All of the shocking things for "North American culture" come from Emily's post. It's safe to say she made it up. Remove them all. 135.23.247.237 ( talk) 18:51, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
To begin with: I am a wikipedia amateur. So apologies in advance if I am out of order writing this.
After looking at the article, I think that it should be completely rewritten, starting from scratch. First of all there should be a definition of table manners as described in the article. What is the purpose of table manners? Does the way food is eaten (with chop sticks, knife and fork, fingers) influence the way food is prepared? Then, short descriptions of table manners per continent maybe? These could link to more detailed articles on table manners in each continent. They should focus on history, national (maybe also regional) differences, but they should not be describing the table manners themselves. Maybe that information is for Wikihow.
I also think that this should be a collaboration with many people. It is a very interesting subject, and I will gladly contribute a small part within my expertise (medieval and early modern European table manners, Dutch table manners). Cmuusers ( talk) 15:54, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
When I last checked Spain was considered a western European country.
