some may find it disgusting because it's not acceptable in some cultures. but here in our place, it's okay to eat with one's bare hands when the viand is a type of seafood. or perhaps when you are at the beach with friends, it is common to eat with no spoon and fork because most likely, the menu would consist of grilled fish, hotdog and other types of food usually brought to the beach. i sometimes eat with my bare hands, especially if all others are eating with theirs. how about you?

Never. Not even at home. When I'm somewhere without proper eating utensils, like fast food places, I'll hold the food in the paper rapper it came in. This is after washing hands and using hand sanitizer.

I'm only supper clean with food and my hands. I never get sick because of it. Last time I had the flu was in 1996. I only worry about human germs. I have no worries about my animals giving me something There is very little an animal can pass on to humans.

ohh..i see you're in the UK now. you must really miss pinoy food. my aunt is also there, working for the palace, and she says she misses tuyo, too. one time, she "smuggled" a plastic of tuyo in her baggage, and i think she didn't get caught because she said her fellow pinoys enjoyed it so much. i just didn't hear if the neighbors complained because of the smell when she was cooking it.
