In the USA it's considered rude to use a toothpick at the table. I was recently at a restaurant in France and at the end of the meal our French host summoned the waitress and asked her for a toothpick, she brought it and he began to use it in front of the 3 of us. In most of Europe using a toothpick in a restaurant at the table is perfectly acceptable. Are there any European countries where using a toothpick at the table is considered rude?
