A Conversation for How To Use Foreign Eating Implements
Fingers

It sounds easy, eating with your fingers, but eating without making a terrible mess is actually a skill that has to be practised.
To eat properly with your fingers, you should pick a portion of food up with your fingertips, and holding your hand so that the fingers are flat and the thumb on top, you use the thumb to push the food into your mouth.
In some cultures, food is served with bread, or tortillas or similar accompaniments, which are used to scoop up food.
When eating hot curry with your fingers, do not, under any circumstances, rub your eyes.
Does this help?

Turns out most of the stuff in this entry had already been written, so I'll be recycling it into a new one. Thanks anyway!
