  3. In Romania it's polite to eat after all guest are at the table. You need to wait until the host says "Pofta buna" (Good Appetite) to start eating. Romania talk a lot during the meal, but it's impolite to speak when you're chewing your food. It's impolite to munch while you're eating. It isn't a sign of bad manners to soak up sauce with bread. Don't put your napkin on your lap, leave it on table. It's polite to not leave the table before everybody finished the meal. If you smoke while the guest are still serving the food or the people are still eating , you're impolite. It's polite to thank and congratulate the guest for the meal, even if you didn't enjoyed it. If you don't want food, you need to insist because refusals are not taken seriously but refusals are seen as good manners.

    “Salads and plates must be accompanied by many SPOONS/FORKS…”
    “Plates are placed as follows: the rights to put a spoon with the sharp knife to plate, knife small fish. The left fork is placed and the usual fish. Spoon is placed in front of the plate.” –NOBODY GETS ANY IDEA FROM A TRANSLATION LIKE THIS
    “Avoid elbows on the table and (WITHOUT YOU ) hold them at your sides.”

    ”If YOU give someone a KNIFE, a fork or a spoon, YOU HAND IN WITH THE HANDLE OF THE UTENSIL TOWARDS THE PERSON”
    “For dinners, tablecloth and napkins will also be festive, a pristine whiteness and for intimate meetings YOU can use colored tablecloths.”

    ”Poultry IS not eatEN with mine. Like I said, the meat ready CUT IS BROUGHT to the table.”
