Although the setting is in Japan, there is a good book for introducing different customs related to eating. The title is How My Parents Learned to Eat by Ina R. Friedman. It tells the story of how the narrator's parents met. It's main idea is how her father, an American soldier in Japan met her mother, a young Japanese woman, and how they had to learn each other's customs when they eat dinner with each other's parents. It might be a good introduction to the purpose and importance of being aware of different customs that people have around the world.
