Clearing Your Plate
In England, India and Japan, it is considered

good manners to clear your plate to show you’ve enjoyed and appreciated the meal.

In China, clearing your plate means that you think the host didn’t give you enough food to eat.

Eating With Your Hands

your hands is perfectly acceptable. The right hand is used for handling food. Picking up food with the left hand is believed to be an insult to the host.
In Chile, you must use cutlery when you are eating.

eldest member of the family to take a bite before anyone else is allowed to start eating.

pass food with them
