    Vietnamese dining etiquette varies by region but shares some common rules. When eating with others, one must wait for elders to take the first bite, avoid making sounds or letting food fall from the bowl, eat all food on the plate, and not talk with food in their mouth. In northern and central Vietnam, each diner is invited individually to start eating, while southern Vietnam invites the whole family at once. Proper etiquette also involves helping prepare dining items for the host family.
