I found out that all eat with a fork and not the spoon... the spoons two in number are put there to have your soup and to have the icecream or what ever is served after the dinner.. so u see we did not feel good eating with a fork.. we took the smaller spoon and ate... finding the Australians giggle now and then in our direction... as we did not wish to eat with our hands like Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280146200615695240.post-15254256853046940272012-07-31T21:36:48.799-05:002012-07-31T21:36:48.799-05:00Dude I have seen American people making a mess of ...Dude I have seen American people making a mess of their hands and face while eating burgers and spaghetti. High time you people in America learn some GK. As such you guys are bad in maths and general knowledge. It has even been reported that the average american does not even know the Capital City of America is the Washighton dc. and has to be educated by companies who sell t-shirts with the Avijeet Dasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280146200615695240.post-48385532585835734822012-07-31T18:31:25.806-05:002012-07-31T18:31:25.806-05:00So what is the big deal if Indians eat with finger...So what is the big deal if Indians eat with fingers! That is the hands are for! As usual, Some, not all, arrogant and self-absorbed Americans think that if the others in the world are not doing what they do, it is weird! Well, I see that attitude itself is weird!

Even Indians eat spaghetti with forks, not fingers, so your example is flawed. The simple rule usually is "when in Rome...", so when eating Indian food, using fingers is the most appropriate. However, Indians are kind, they won't force you to eat with your fingers. All people have been doing is pointing out that eating with Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280146200615695240.post-19220905943506821692012-07-30T17:16:22.653-05:002012-07-30T17:16:22.653-05:00Hey dumbonymous, Americans don't have a habit ...Hey dumbonymous, Americans don't have a habit of washing their hands frequently. Now *that* is gross if you ask me. But let's be historical here, it's a European thing; washing was never an important thing for northern and western Europeans. They invented wiping with paper and using cologne as alternatives to regular washing and hygiene.

Indians eat noodles and spaghetti with forks. We do not drink soup with hands!<br /><br />We are recycling conscious! Therefore we do not waste trees unnecessarily by using napkins when we use the natural resource "Water" to wash our hands. <br />Afroznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280146200615695240.post-6160444499590692022012-07-29T01:00:20.574-05:002012-07-29T01:00:20.574-05:00Perhaps some brave Indian should pick up the coura...Perhaps some brave Indian should pick up the courage to make statements about Americans not washing their butts with water after going to the loo but instead, wiping it off with paper. No wonder it is gross to the Americans to put their fingers in their food!

To Oprah, it's weird. To me, it's weird. I eat burgers and pizza and fries and corn with my fingers but I don't eat spaghetti or rice or what ever else that stuff is with my fingers.
