eating with your hand in public

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."
If we wash our hands well before and after eating, where is the lack of neatness? Of course, being born in theh sub-continent, this is not an issue for me. Looks like most folks here are born in the west - so I can understand why some are squeamish about use of hands while eating

Re: eating with your hand in public

eating daal chawal with hands, perhaps i wont go that far. however, i dont see any thing wrong in using hands and do it very often :)

Just did it last night in one of the restaurants at Hilton hotel. I was alone but a couple of people on nearby tables stared at me, but who cares :)
