The rest of that section in the Two Towers also mentions a few other customs:
1) Faramir's men would wash their hands before eating
2) Hobbits wash their heads before breakfast
3) 'Before they ate, Faramir and his men turned and faced west for a moment of silence... "So we always do," he said, as they sat down: "we look towards Numenor tat was, and beyond to Elvenhome that is, and to that which is beyond Elvenhome and will ever be."
4) Both the hobbits and men of Gondor bow to their hosts and after they have eaten, rise and thank him.
