No, They Don’t Hold Burping Contests at the Table

Burping might be considered rude in some cultures, while in other cultures, it is actually a compliment to the chef. It signals that we’re enjoying our meal; it is a compliment to the chef. Contrary to what some people may have us think, the Amish do not hold burping contests at the table.

They do burp just like ordinary people, but they aren’t rudely letting it rip all over the place! This is a stereotype that some uninformed few have probably spread.
