eating with bare hands

It is really hard to eat chicken with your spoon and fork. It's easier if you your hands eat every meat of it. Just make it a habit to wash hands or use sanitizer before eating. I also love to eat with bare hands in the house, tuyo (fried dried fish) and fried rice for breakfast!

Well, chicken is finger food for me! It's fun eating them with bare hands than with cutlery. But, I do that only at home. I love Mang Inasal's but haven't tried eating them with bare hands!

That's a cultural thing. I detest eating with my hands. I'll do it when I have to, but I don't enjoy it. I know a man who is even worse than me. He eats sandwiches with a knife and fork. LOL That's worse than me. I'll eat bread with my hands.

I don't think I remember eating chicken without having to hold them. I think it is a lot safer to do so than having it flown somewhere when you only use the cutlery. I haven't tried though to eat with my bare hands in public. I only do so when I eat at home or when we have family picnics. My husband did so when we ate at Mang Inasals and with the same gusto as you did. I like their mais con yelo. I had one yesterday. Have you tried it?

Actually I grown on that way which using own bare hand for eating its good and exciting... Then when I worked here in Saudi I seen and saw Saudis using own bare hands for eating chicken, lamb and cow meat, they are not using any utensils... in the first time I saw them I told to myself I never eat along with them but later on I eat with them and enjoy... see you around

I'm a Filipina, so yes, I have experienced eating without spoon and fork. It is common thing for us to eat food with our bare hands. Of course, we do this after thoroughly washing our hands. There are some food that are better to eat using our bare hands. It makes us crave for the food more.

I always do that all the time when there's no guests or visiting relatives at home. I only use my spoon and fork if the viand has a soup base.

hi simplyD oh yes my grandpa used to say the best way to eat fried chicken is with your hands, you idjit and also corn on the cob. and he was so right. it just tastes so much better.From the words you use I surmised this is in the P hilippines? I had some adobo chicken with my table mate a few months back and it was super delicious too. moist yet thoroughly cooked and so tasty, I had never ate chicken fixed that way and she had told me you will really like it. she shared half of the order her friends had brought her from a cafe that specialized in Filipino chicken I really did like it and i ate it with my fingers too.Yes I really did enjoy it but the one dish she had with chicken livers no that I did not like. but the chicken was the best, really so good.

I ate some Hot N Spicy Banquet party sized chicken wings about two weeks ago. I ate them with my bare hands too. I have no choice but to anyway. These party sized chicken are really small and yummy. I have never heard of gusto before. Your lunch that you have had at the mall, sounds very delicious. I am glad that you have enjoyed your lunch.

Well I usually eat with bare hands only since in India the food is to be eaten with bare hands. There is the Indian dish that is called "roti" that is supposed to be cut into pieces with hands and then eaten by dipping in "sabji" (food item that is prepared with gravy. It is sort of a custom here even some people here eat rice with hands too and believe me the food tastes better (Don't know why!) but it really does taste better. Though we always wash our hands before sitting down to eat food and proper care is taken for hygiene as well.

Whether it is Vegetarian or non-vegetarian food, Many Indians use bare hands to eat. We wash the hands before eating. Even in a Party where all signatories were present, Doctor Radhakrishan used his bare hands to eat. When he was questioned, he said that any body can use any spoon but my hand nobody can use for eating.It is pleasant to eat with bare hands than by spoon or pork.Also we can feel whether the food is in good condition or spoiled.By using spoon this can not be felt.

Hi simplyd. Since I am Filipina like you, I experienced eating with bare hands. I usually do it in chicken and crab. Everytime I use my bare hands in eating yummy foods, I was able to consume two cups of rice. Can't resist it. I have tried Mang Inasal's grilled pecho, I love it.

In America there are lots of "finger foods" that are at parties and such. Things like chicken wings, pretzels, peanuts, onion rings, french fries... etc. Most people it's a preference to which they eat with... hands.. fingers.. forks. I love to eat pork ribs but can only eat them at home because I hate being out in public and being messy haha. Pizza is always easy to eat with fingers, and thats also they there are ice cream pops on sticks... Finger Food is fun!

Yes, I experienced eating with my bare hands most of the time at home.. Its more yummy than using the spoon and fork... =) Mang inasal is one of my favorite resto... and almost all customer their used their bare hands to eat.. it feels im at home..

Hello SIMPLYD ! I am from India! Though in India we use spoons ,forks and knives like most other western country people use to have their food, but it is a traditional practice in India to have food with bare hands! It is taught to a child how to have food with his bare hands right from his/her childhood! This is possibly done for the reasons quoted below: 1. India is a tropical country and we have all the three seasons in our country! It helps us to get the feeling of the food to estimate the temperature of the food before we eat it. If we find it too hot the food is manipulated in the hand for few seconds to make it suitable to eat without burning the oral cavity! 2. We have some food items like Roti or Chapati which are difficult to at with spoons and forks ,we need to break them with fingers before we have it with curry! 3. We normally have gravy and other ingredients to mix up with rice which requires thorough mixing before having it, which can only be done by hand! 4. Chicken, fish and other meats can be consumed better way by hands instead of the spoons as the spines of fish can easily be removed with fingers. This is difficult to accomplish with spoon and fork! 5. We have food ingredients of various consistencies for our lunch and dinner which can best be eaten by the bare hands! 6. In India Milk fat is used in very large scale and it is mixed with rice along with curry or Dal and this can best be done by bare hand! 7. Tandoori Chicken, friend chicken etc are best be handled and eaten with bare hands, as shown in some western movies, here spoons and forks will get failed miserably! 8. Some ingredients are dry and tough which needs to be broken by hand before eating it! 9. Consuming pickles with tip of fingers in the form of licking gives a different pleasure which a Indian would loose with the help of Spoon and fork ! 10. Papad is a dish we eat as a side dish which any one can have with spoons and forks with great difficulty! Hope this fundamental points will make clear why we people are interested in having the food with our bare hands! Thanks !

There are some things that just have to be eaten with the bare hands. Tacos are another thing that you can not use utensils for. As long as your hands are clean I don't see anything wrong with eating chicken with them. It makes it easier and it is fun actually.

I always eat using my fingers, i avoid spoons, forks, in home even in big hotels and parties, some may call be uncivilized, i don't bother, eating food served on leave plates has its own charm.. these days i am not eating chicken, meat, fish or eggs.. Thanks for sharing God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

I love eating using my bare hands. And I usually do that in the office while eating lunch. I love it most especially when it's grilled or fried fish/pork liempo for viand.

Yeah, I do this a lot and its really very appetizing! you can see proofs in my body Even if we only have simple viands like "tuyo" and crushed tomato, eating them with bare hands seems so.....wow, indescribable!

it is okay as long as we wash our hands thoroughly before touching the food. I usually prefer to eat with bare hands at home or outside,especially when the meal requires dipping, because i find it easier and the food seems tastier, and I don't really care what the other people at the resto are thinking about me. lol
