Here are a few tips we thought helpful to
hostesses and guests or visitors in Germany.
German
Etiquette
Tips
**
The majority of us Club members are
seasoned travellers. That does not, however,
mean that we haven’t made our share of
embarrassing “faux pas” in dealing with
people of other cultures?
PL
E
O
N
Punctuality: It is very important to be punctual for both appointments
and social invitations. Even a few minutes delay can be seen as
impolite. If being late is absolutely unavoidable, call your host or
hostess in advance.
Host/Hostess Gifts: Flowers, a bottle of wine or chocolates are all
acceptable gifts when attending a luncheon, dinner, coffee or party.
Always remove the paper wrapping before presenting flowers to your
hostess. If your partner or husband is with you, have him present the
flowers. When you receive flowers from guests, put them in a vase
straight away and display. If you receive gifts, unwrap them before the
guest leaves.
AM
Men: The man enters a restaurant first. Originally, this was in order to
see that the establishment was respectable enough for his wife or any
female guest.
**
*S
A man also goes up the stairs first – apparently so that he will not be
able to look under a woman’s dress or skirt.
Theatre Front or Back: When passing people in a theatre to get to
your seats, always face them.
Dining: In Germany, it is polite to have the left hand on the table when
eating.
At a dinner party or in a restaurant, you should not start eating or
drinking until everyone in the group has received their drink or their
meal, and then follow the lead of the host or hostess.

Chef’s Note: Lentils are believed to have originated in the Middle East. It is
mentioned in the Bible that Jacob traded lentils for his birthright and that they
were an ingredient of a bread that was made during the captivity of the Jewish
people. Ethiopians use lentils during the fasting period. They are also a staple
food during Lent. Introduced to India before the first century AD, lentils are
the main ingredient of a traditional cuisine called “dal”, a spicy lentil dish.
