What a fun restaurant experience.<br /> <br /> Do you think you'll take up eating with fingers as a permanent thing now? Perhaps even when back in the West? You go. What a fun restaurant experience.

Do you think you’ll take up eating with fingers as a permanent thing now? Perhaps even when back in the West?

I ate with my fingers for a while when I came back from India. But it seemed pretentious. I know that many people who do eat with their fingers say that they can't "taste" the food as well when they use utensils. I can see what they mean, and if I were to do it a lot, and get over the discomfort that we Britts associate with having gotten our food over our hands, I could imagine missing the sensation. But in geneal its a bit too risky. And my home cooked Ugali doesn't come up to scratch. I doubt it, Tom. I ate with my fingers for a while when I came back from India. But it seemed pretentious.

But now in the west, and with long, varniches nails, it's not too practical. Even in an indian. <br /> <br /> Did i tell you about my hercules phase when i was 19? I made it a point to eat everything with my fingers. Even noodles. it was because i loved the TV series, and i loved the idea of eating a drumstick with one hand, and then using the other to hold my silver goblet on high and say 'more wine.. more wine' .
