Here in the Philippines, some Filipinos eat without using spoon and fork and used to such habit. Especially in far flunk areas or squatter areas, most houses have no spoon and fork when they have their breakfast, lunch or dinner. I, for myself, have instances where I don't like to eat using fork and spoon. I love to eat using my hands and fingers only when we are on a picnic with lots of barbecue, finger foods, grilled food. I can feel the justice of eating if I am using my hands. It seems like I am satisfied with what I eat, I can feel what I have eaten, when I am not using spoon and fork on those occasions. How about you?

I eat fries, pancakes, wraps and tortilla-like things with my hands. I eat other things using fork and spoon.

I also use bare hands when I eat those foods you mentioned.

Hello, yonkie! Well, I eat using my hands sometimes when the food has no soup. The hard thing on eating with bare hands is when the food was hot but I can still eat well even holding a hot rice in my hands lol
happy mylotting and have a nice day! happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. yonkie (292)   ranked 312 out of 5,398 in eating  7 months ago

Yes, it is really not nice to eat bare hands when there is soup in the table unless you don't like soup.

There are foods that are really eaten using only our fingers/hands. Whether one lives in a squatter areas or not I believe one can enjoy eating using only our hands. I do that once in a while.

I agree with you.

Hi, I am an Indian and we Indians prefer to eat with our hands. I do it, and now its a matter of habit. We do eat food with spoon & forks but that looks formal, we prefer to eat with our hands. Moreover, the food stuff which we have in India can be best relished with your hands.

Have a gr8 day:-))

This is interesting. I never heard this information before. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I would like to tell you that here in India we have a provice called Bihar where people don't have spoons at all and they are used to eating without spoons. Their staple food is rice and pulse and they eat it using their fingers. I have spent a few years in Bihar and I also picked their habit. Now I like to eat without spoons and fork but I don't do that in public like resturants.

It is also not good to look at if you are using bare hands while eating in restaurants especially those fine restaurants. By the way, thanks for sharing information about Bihar, India. It is an additional knowledge to me.

I think I can probably count the times that I eat rice with my bare hands. Its not that I enjoy it but because I am not really used to it. We were brought up to strictly use utensils when we eat, when I was younger, I must have only tried to use my hands once, when I was curious why my nanny was doing it. During my teenage years, I get to interact with people from different walks of life so I was once again able to experience eating rice with my hands. But I am really not good at it hehehe. I eat pizza, pitas and other finger foods with my hands of courselol

I can also see in Filipino movies that some actors and actresses are not good in eating rice using bare hands.

of course,most of the time.we,people from malaysia,eating with bare hand is a common thing and not a habit.of course we will use fork and spoon,even chopstick or fork and knife if we eat something soupy or eating in the restaurant (any outside eatery other than home) but really, i agree with you,you can really taste the food and feel satisfied when we eat with bare hand..


myLot reputation of 95/100. yonkie (292)   ranked 312 out of 5,398 in eating  7 months ago

It is really an Asian culture to used bare hands at times when eating. India, Malaysia and Philippines are proof of these culture.

Hi yonkie!yonkie!

Here in Malaysia, everybody eats with their hands and i believe only using the fork and spoons when eating in posh or Western restaurant. I love eating with my hands since it much more satifying hehehehehe especially when eating the chicken, beef ot grilled items.

The truth is...i only eat with fork and spoon when my nails is long!!!!hahahahaha

Most of the time I use a fork or spoon when I eat. I think there are somethings that are meant to be eaten with your hand, such as hamburger, hot dogs, and fried chicken. OH and also fruit.
