I has some friends come from Japan and we went to a nice restaurant. 3 or 4 of the Japanese guests ordered steak. The waiter brought out one of the steaks and before he could go back to get the others one of the Japanese guys placed his steak in the center of the table and started cutting. We said "What are you doing" and he said "I am cutting my part". At first the Americans were confused then we realized he thought the one steak was to be shared (it was pretty big). We told him it was ALL his, and his face went red. But all of them ate every single bite.
