Then we put food at the table. Nobody can start eating food until the guest takes a bit of his share. After he finishes eating, his plate will be taken away and hell be given one bowl and a mug(大杯) of water at the table to wash his hands.For Germans, guests are just like a blessing(祝福) in their house and they treat them veryrespectfully. In Germany, if people go to someone elses house, they do not enter the house until the house keeper comes to the door and invites them to come in.
