Imam Musa Kazim AS once described dining table etiquettes and some of the favorite dishes liked by all Masoomeen AS.
 One of his followers 'Jaffer Asmi' narrated that, on reaching Madina after the pilgrimage, I and my fellows decided to lunch. We saw a garden of dates over there, we placed a big napkin on the ground and began to start the lunch.
In the meanwhile, I saw "Abul-Hassan AS"(Title of Imam Musa Kazim AS) was coming towards us along with few persons holding some food items.
We embraced him fully and then he joined us there.

Washing Hands before the meal

Before starting the meal, Imam AS washed his hands first and asked a person to help us in washing our hands. He started from the right row first, helped them from the first till the last one, then he moved towards the left row and did the same.

Washing hands again

Now, Imam AS washed his hands again and the same as before a person stood up and started helping us in washing our hands. This time he stared from the left side and then moved towards the right row. 

Picking the leftovers from the napkins

We started picking the food leftovers from the napkins but Imam AS stopped us as we are in an open place and this remaining part is for the birds and insect, rather Imam As said: "if we would have been eating a meal inside the room then this practice would be good".

Imam AS Asked a "Question of Thought"

After having such a wonderful lunch, we all became very happy and then Imam AS asked us a question to think about it.

Imam AS said, "How much you are merciful and kind?". We all replied, "we are onto the utmost level of mercifulness and kindness". Imam AS said, "If one of your poor fellow/brothers goes into your house in your absence, asks home members about your wealth baggage, tear the sewing of the baggage and take some money out of it to fulfill his need, what will you think about it?".

We answered him"Yes, surely we will mind it".Then Imam As told us: "Your mercy and kindness towards the poor brothers are on not favorite levels"

Dear all, it is also a food of thought for all of us!!.
