Be prepared for a formal dining\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though food rules vary across the different countries of South America; yet most countries follow some basic things. The South Americans eat their food in continental style \u2013 with the fork in the left and knife in the right hand. Also, before starting to eat their meals, South Americans like to raise a collective toast to everyone\u2019s good health. Moreover, in countries such as Argentina and Bolivia, it is preferred that wine is poured from the right hand, while the bottle is to be held from the middle or near the top. This is considered a mark of respect for the dining companion.<\/p>\n

Ease on punctuality<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Americans are a bit easy when it comes to following time. So, when eating out with a South American, be prepared for him\/her to reach at least 15-30 minutes than the scheduled time. Also, you\u2019ll have to be a little patient with the servers for they would also take their time to take your orders, bring food, and present the bill. They would be waiting for you to ask for the bill first, unlike America where the servers are quick and present the bill as soon as they think you\u2019ve finished your meal. In South America, that is considered rude.<\/p>\n

Bring a gift<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been invited for dinner at someone\u2019s house, remember to take along a small token of love \u2013 in the form of a gift. You could take some chocolates, wine, flowers, etc. Or you can also bring along a token of love from your home country.<\/p>\n

Different meal patterns<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Americans eat three meals and one-two snacks daily. In most of the countries of South America, people eat light breakfast \u2013 tea or coffee, fruit juice, bread with butter \u2013 and eat a heavy lunch followed by a small nap. The lunch includes meat, rice, beans, greens, etc. Post that dinner is another heavy meal but is served late (around 9:00 pm) and continues for hours, followed by simple desserts. Between lunch and dinner, there can be a round of one or two snacks.<\/p>\n

Drowning in coffee and tea<\/strong><\/p>\n

South American countries are the major producer of coffee worldwide; hence, coffee is the main beverage in most of the South American countries. Additionally, herbal teas and other medical teas such as Yerba mat\u00e9 are consumed heavily in South America.<\/p>\n
