Don’t ask for salt when dining in Egypt…..
Good morning beautifuls and Handsome… Still your Girl Lucia… Hope you’ve been learning from the diversities of cultures series? This morning I will be talking about the Egyptians. Sit back and read with a cup of hot coffee or any beverage of your choice.
In many cultures, like the United States,even in some parts of Africa, it is all right to ask for salt to add to your food. But if you are dining with friends and colleagues in Egypt, keep in mind to avoid asking for salt. It is taken as an insult to the host, as Egyptians take it to mean that you are repulsed by the taste of the meal served to you.

Wow, this is nice to know. Like I’ve known that when you serve food their has to be salt and pepper cruet-stand just in case. And in catering it’s not forbidden. Good to know it viewed repulsive in Egypt.
