You can take a seat at a restaurant table for a moment. In Finland, people have been dining in restaurants since the 1800s. Classic French cuisine was the dominant trend for a long time, restaurant meals were luxurious, and the rules of etiquette were complicated. Today, even fine dining restaurants may draw inspiration from street food or home cooking. New food trends spread globally and faster than ever. As a counterbalance, local food and regional identity can be seen as the new form of luxury. A restaurant guest no longer needs to be able to read a French menu or use a lobster fork. The rules of etiquette, however, have only changed, not disappeared.
