A rude thing while you are eating rice.

This is placing the chopsticks in the middle of your rice bowl is regarded as/ considered to be rude (we can write "regarded as" but not "regarded to be". Similarly we can write "considered to be" and not "considered as." This is of course formal English, in everyday use of the language, it hardly makes any difference). Thank you for corrections in advance.Thank you for this little insight into Japanese culture.
