The Chinese have rules and customs associated with eating. Family meals in the North, for example, are set with chopsticks, a soup spoon and a small plate or rice bowl. There is also a set order of seating at the table. The eldest man is always seated first followed by the eldest woman. Then the rest of the family take their place and take the food wanted from communal plates using the serving chopsticks provided. If there are guests, the host serves them choice morsels to show that they are respected.
