Thanks to a bit of an extension on last weeks contest, we got a bunch of nice responses. Hope we won't need to extend again, let's see some weekend threading ;-)

I am seeing more and more diversity in the responses which is good! The more different kinds of answers we receive, the more interesting it will be, just be honest and remember to be respectful of each other.

Ok so let’s get into it.

This week’s topic

How do you feel about eating with your hands?

Many countries have food that you eat with your hands, but in some countries it is more standard than others. Growing up I ate sandwiches and pizza with my hands but mostly everything else used a fork, with chicken wings being the one exception, our hands got really messy eating that.

In Japan, many of these foods have wrappers, and in China they even use a plastic glove to eat.

Meanwhile in Africa and Indonesia and India and Bangladesh as well as other countries, even eating curry or rice with hands is normal.

So how do you feel about it. What do you eat with your hands? What can you never eat with your hands? Is it comfortable or disgusting to you? I recently ate Nigerian Egusi with my hands, so I will talk about that, as well as my experience in China eating a sandwich, which was very strange for me.
