how arabs eat food

People act like it's gross but it's only gross if you don't know how to wash your dirty ass hands lol

As an American that eat African, Indian, and Middle eastern food with my hands I thought less dishes to wash it's a win for me

I once asked my Malaysian friend “where’s the silverware at?” I didn’t mean it badly, just confused. She laughed so hard and said “we have finger bowls”. 💀😂

“Eating with your hands is suppose to slow you down” Me: *devours and entire pizza slice in 0.2 seconds*

I don't stare because they're eating with their hands, I stare because they do it with such skill.

People actually calling eating with hands gross. I'm an Indian and I challenge anyone to remove fish bones with a spoon or fork. Edit: What have I done😱. I didn't think WW3 will be caused by fish bones

I can promise you: Touching Hot Steaming Rice with Bare Hand is the most Sensational Feeling you could even feel

I think it just goes to show how geography and culture affects our food SO much. Because its a very different experience to eat with spoon, vs. chopsticks, vs. your hands. And it depends what kind of food. I'm grateful to live where I do in America, as I get to experience a small piece of many heritage's food.

eating food with hands is literally the best feeling

“If we were meant to eat with forks we’d have them for fingers” -my grandpa

Ngl that’s smart. My dumb ass will be straight destroying a plate of food and regret it like 20 minutes later when that reflux starts

“Food is meant to be eaten slowly and consciously,” Man I just got a big ass mouth.

“I don’t wana be too messy” the saying of someone who never eats with their hands

I had a Chinese classmate in college who told me he wasn't surprised that Americans were overweight because our utensils look like shovels 😂

Rules to it. Short nails(clipped on Mondays or fridays) Eat with three fingers. Right hand only. You can only pick from the closest to you. Edit: Clip whenever needed, but Mondays or* Fridays were noted to be best of the days to do so. Eating with three fingers, yeah don't go smearing your whole hand, example: most fingerfood and dips you only need three fingers max. All of these are table manners, and considered common sense even, you can't just eat the food however and expect acceptance and tolerance. Some people can not sit with you on the same table if you chew loudly, slurp or have long nails.

As a Hispanic this is how my grandfather was raised on the ranch. We eat almost everything with tortillas and out hands. He always told us you don’t need silverware when you have a good tortilla. I like Mohameds view on it too.

As a muslim in the middle east silver wear isnt rare lol. Its just sunnah to eat with hand. It just makes your food taste helllllaaa better. I only use utensils while eating soups, noodles ice cream stuff like that obviously ❤ ❤❤

As an Arab, I confirm that we eat with our hands

Food just tastes better with your hands❤
