eating with your hand in public

I just went out to this place with my friends called ‘Aishas House’ where this aunty cooks home cooked food and its so delicious. Its a proper restaurant lots of white and non pakistani people go there too.

I started eating daal chawal and chicken and achaar and pyyaaz with my hand because it makes the food taste better and I am a paindu :snooty:

All my friends were embarrassed of me :frowning:

would you be?

Re: eating with your hand in public

No more than if you ate Chinese food with chopsticks: it is the appropriate way to eat desi food.

Re: eating with your hand in public

Yes I will be utterly embarrassed and move to another table.

Re: eating with your hand in public

but whyyy?

Re: eating with your hand in public

Some actions need privacy. It is one of them. Like desi people do not like public display of affection with their own wives.
And no, do not open a new thread on public display of affection , I have already done that.

Re: eating with your hand in public

If anyone does not like the way I ate then I feel sorry for them… becuase I never eat alone… and secondly my companions eat the same way I do so tough. :devil:

Re: eating with your hand in public

How does chawal taste better when eaten with hand vs a spoon?

It’s all in your heads. :snooty:

Re: eating with your hand in public

try it.. you dont have to feel the stainless steel chamach going inside your mouth or the small plastic one rubbing against your lips..

my mom finds it irritating when i eat chawal without a spoon :omg:

Re: eating with your hand in public

Aakhir hath b to apne hi hain :cb:
I prefer eating food with my hands specially chawal :yummy:

Re: eating with your hand in public

As long as the daal ando other curries are not sprayed liberally onto neighbors, this is a non-issue.

Re: eating with your hand in public

I don't think its considered a neat way of eating; its taken as being zero in eating etiquette no matter how convenient it may seem.

Re: eating with your hand in public

though i dnt know myself how to eat rice with hands, but i will not be embarrassed or offended.

Re: eating with your hand in public
