Indian cuisine

Why is Indian food eaten with your bare hands? Will I embarrass myself if I go to an Indian restaurant and eat with a spoon or fork?

[Wayne Lambright No.16617795]

entering an indian establishment while not indian should be enough to embarrass yourself

[Anonymous No.16617797]

I can't imagine anyone would care.

[Anonymous No.16617801]

No, you're not going to embarrass yourself if you use utensils. Besides, all the Indian people I know either use utensils or scoop the food with pieces of bread.

It's why India was such a technological powerhouse before white colonisation, because of their amazing hygiene practices. Anyone who has worked in a large building with toilets in a company full of Indians agrees.

White here. I eat a lot of food with my hands
At all kinds of restaurants too

I don't care
It just makes sense
your hands are like very good tongs
spearing food with a fork is barbaric

the food that makes probably the least sense to eat with your hands is indian curry so the whole thing is backwards

I'd be embarrassed with a name like yours too.

eating food with your hands is much of a sensual experience anyway

[Anonymous No.16618268]

>>16617867
Did you ever get thrown out of a restaurant because of that?

>Will I embarrass myself
they are indians, aka super fucking close to literal animals. if you were stranded on an island and befriended a pack of dogs you wouldn't care about their "etiquette", would you? indians eating with their bare hands should be a sign to you that its impossible to embarrass yourself in front of them, as they are clearly completely uncivilized

part of the philosophy/idea is that eating your food is a sensual physical process and should be enjoyed with touch as much as with smell, sight, or taste.
you won't embarrass yourself at all, though. many indian people use utensils nowadays, especially at table restaurants and in the West.

does this explain it

The belief is that bringing your hand to your mouth while eating triggers the digestive system in your body. It tells your stomach that it should prepare to work. If you are a foreigner they will not look down on you in the slightest for using a fork but it will make them happy if you properly use bread or naan to scoop up your food.
