Eating With Hands

[nomad]

How often do you eat with hands? Do you like eating with hands or do you strictly avoid eating with hands? Have you tried eating foods like rice and bread with hands? Well, in our culture eating with hands is considered the best way to eat foods (you will have to wash your hand thoroughly, though). I sometimes eat with hands.

I wouldn't say I never eat with my hands as I have been known to in the past for finger foods such as biscuits, sandwiches, burgers, fries and the like. I refuse to eat anything messy with my hands at all and will always ensure I use cutlery when eating messy foods that I do not class as finger foods.

Over here in my country, there are some local dish you eat with your hands. Dishes like eba ( also known as garri) with any soup of your choice. There are also other dishes besides eba such as starch, fufu, semovita and so on. We tend to call them swallow in general because while you use your hands to eat them, you don't shew them, you swallow it.
