When drinking beer in Germany, it's common to toast each round of beer before drinking with the word "prost." If you have straight beer glasses, clang the glasses at the bottom instead of the top, if you have a pilsner glass (which has a small stem at the bottom) clang them at the widest part of the glass. And if you are in Bavaria, you are expected to look the person in the eye as you say "prost" and clang the glasses, not looking the other person in the eye is considerded to bring seven years of bad sex down upon you.
Also in Germany. With a knife and fork, if you are right handed, the knife is in the right hand and the fork goes in the left hand and is held upside down for most of the time (you can flip it over to scoop up food). And never use a knife to cut potatoes, always use the fork.
