The way you handle yourself at the dinner table can have profound implications
on how well you impress your foreign hosts. Sheep’s eyes and fried scorpions
may not be your cup of tea, but be as __16___ as you can about accepting and
trying seemingly strange foods with which you may not be familiar. Respect
others’ __17___ restrictions as well (don’t ask for a cheeseburger in a kosher
home, for example, or __18___ your Hindu hosts to give you steak tartar).
Realize, too, that your capacity for drinking alcohol may be __19___ to your
hosts. Some countries don’t want to see you drinking at all; others judge your
capacity as a business person by whether you can drink them under the table. If
you really can’t drink or you’re a recovering alcoholic, offer a __20___ excuse
for your reluctance to imbibe. (Hepatitis is a good choice.)
