food customs
Culinary cultural practices
Food customs are the traditional practices and social conventions surrounding what, when, and how people eat.
These include dietary restrictions, table manners, holiday dishes, and rituals of preparation and serving.
Food customs vary widely across cultures: In Japan, slurping noodles is polite; in America, it's rude.
They often carry religious, familial, or regional significance.
