where r my south Asians & Africans @? i can't be the only one who eats with my fingers lmao :D

[kat_gran]

WTF! haha I never heard of someone eating rice with their hands... damnn... Maybe only the Indians who always eat food with their hands... Hmmm.. Interesting. Nice to know in Angola, they also eat it with their hand.. haha.

I eat rice with a fork or spoon (silverware)... I've eaten it with chop sticks when in South east Asia and I have eaten it with my hand (maybe once or twice) when i'm stealing some from the pot and was too lazy to pick a fork/spoon and just wanted to take a little piece - but that was more of stealing and not something I do or would ever do in public lol.

So utensils for me and I'm from South America.

[chintita]

I think africa generally eats with fingers like the south Asians except if theyre trying to be fancy with utensils 😂 same with the middle east i think

[kat_gran]

haha yeahh you're right. but in the middle east they dont usually eat with their hands, correct> maybe a dish or two... but not generally?
Same in SA, some dishes you can eat with the hand but majority are with utensils. (well if it goes on plate, you eat it with utensils)

[Rainie_]

Depends on what dish I'm eating. Generally I eat it with spoon. I've never eaten rice with hands though. And fork is the most inefficient way of eating rice ever so not that one either. Anyway, I prefer porcelain spoon than silverware, especially when I eat East Asian dishes, dunno why.

From Sweden, lived in China ✌🏽️

[musicbrain5]

I use a fork or spoon most of the time, and occasionally use chopsticks, especially if I'm eating at an Asian restaurant. I live in Canada.

[chintita]

a fork? how do u stab a rice with a fork

[redeyemindtricks]

Probably has to be sticky rice lol. Don't you like yr rice HOT tho?

[redeyemindtricks]

Like, I'd burn my hand.

[chintita]

@redeyemindtricks i let it cool down a bit, eating with a utensil feels disconnected from the eating experience

[musicbrain5]

You don't stab it, you just scoop it up like you would with a spoon. Or use a knife to help you push the last bit of rice onto the fork. I've always eaten rice this way.

@redeyemindtricks Long grain white or brown rice (whatever is on sale when I need rice) and yeah if course I eat it when it's hot! I have a rice cooker/steamer thing.

[Lady7]

With hand or spoon. I'm from indonesia

[chintita]

yay :D

[Lady7]

Thanks for MHO

[chintita]

no problem :D

[Cosytoasty]

Spoon AND chopsticks, Ha! I win.

It's more to do with the dish it's in though, if it's on a plate you kinda have to use a spoon, if it's in a bowl you use can the chopstick to shovel it in while holding the bowl to your mouth.

[chintita]

so u shovel it? i need to get a chopsticks lesson asap, i thought u are supposed to hold them together but a little bit separate so the clump of rice stays on like the guy in the pic

[Cosytoasty]

Yeah like this lol
image.shutterstock.com/.../...psticks-55936348.jpg

It's more polite to eat one clump at a time like you describe so you do that when eating out, at home everyone just shovels that shit in ASAP. Also you cook the rice in a specific way (slightly sticky) to make it clump like that - the way Western, African and Middle Eastern cook it you'll just be picking one grain at a time so a spoon is better.

[chintita]

ohh i see, that makes a lot more sense. i imagined the rice pieces falling between the chopsticks then u'd never eat lmao

[Dtegesd123]

right here. Born in Southern China haha. I eat it with chopsticks and spoon, But If I make sushi or some African style rice, its all hands

[chintita]

Yeaa 👌👌🎉🎉🎉

[ilovesexyfeet]

Fork or spoon, England, I don't do hands to eat and those chop sticks just tease, as I can never get a mouthful to stay on it and end up eating a grain at a time.

[chintita]

lmao same

[Zorax]

With fork usually ;)

rei-saionji.com/.../rice-on-the-fork.jpg

[chintita]

lool why? that seems inefficient

[Zorax]

It's a custom here in Croatia :D

[joeb73]

from the USA , use a fork to eat it because with the sauces i put with it, it would make your hands very dirty.

[chintita]

Thats why sinks nd soaps were invented !

[Shiprex]

I can have rice every day and am from Scotland but live in Sweden and lived in Hong Kong for 8 years where I got into it.

I normally use fork or spoon for it as well as chopsticks when I can remember to get them out. I don't have any issue using them and when out at a restaurant will use them if available.

[jacquesvol]

-Boiled with sauce: tomato, bechamel, or curry, gravy

[Hans222]

I had to vote D... for me it's knife and fork!
A spoon would work but sticks would lead to very funny situations like rice launched out of the window hahaha :o

[meatballs21]

Silverware or chopsticks. Canada. I prefer sticky short grain rice.

[chintita]

cool i like basmati, everything else is just difficult to eat now that im used to it :P

[meatballs21]

Bastmati has a distinctive fragrance and flavour that only works with certain food, IMHO.

[booo159]

I choose nothing... because sometimes I eat with my hands (when I am too lazy to get up and get a spoon) if I have a spoon with me and my hands are clean I'll use both... otherwise only spoon

[madhatters4]

i always used a fork until i lived in thailand and realized they used spoons. it made so much sense and now i almost always use spoons

[suseel_sushi]
