cutlery or hand?

hi huma,

good topic to discuss....i prefer to eat dosai, chapati etc with hands and the rest with cutlery...be it at home or outside...one reason is that i hate food getting under my nails...another is that most of the food courts and restaurants abroad dont have a good old wash basin for hands...im not satisfied abt wiping hands with paper napkins...especially the gravies get stuck to fingers and form unsightly stains...though with parathas, naan etc...it is difficult to eat it with hand and scoop up the side dish with spoon...i hardly use knife because im vegetarian and so no need to butcher the meat on plate...

good topic,

yes even me i eat with my hand at home and in restaurants. sometimes my hubby prefers me to eat with spoons in big restaurants but i m not comfortable so i dont eat.
even in my office where 90% are all westerners i eat by hand. once or twice they did comment in the start but when i replied back that i m comfortable like that only they were quiet.
i very very rarely eat by cutlery.
