Most Indian food consists of a sort of bread (naan, chapati's, rotis) with vegetables and some sort of curry, usually daal. The vegetables aren't like celery, carrots, and portatoes, simple foods like that. They are often made into a curry. You take the naan or rotis or chapatis and scoop the vegetables along with the curry for flavor. With these kinds of dishes, forks are of no use because the vegetables are in the curry, and trying to eat the curry with a spoon like soup is disgusting. I can't speak for every Indian family out there, but my family does not eat a lot of meat. We ate meat maybe twice a week.

Mozilla Firefox Favourite Manga Berserk all day erry day	Don't they just use things like naan bread to scoop up rice etc? I've seen that a lot. Eating rice with your hands sounds weird to me I'm the sort of person who will often eat pizza with a knife and fork though. I mostly don't but only with certain meals, like KFC will I accept my hands getting all greasy. Would it not be easier to use some kind of spoon for curry though? Is eating with hands just a tradition? I can understand not using a fork and knife. I use spoons for rice and everyone looks at me like I'm an alien. FORKS HAVE HOLES AND CAN'T PICK UP ENOUGH DAMMIT, SPOONS ARE FUTURE. Sporks even more in the future.

Using utensils in India signifies royalty and wealth, or outsider. Because India has been eating with their hands for many many generations, this is considered socially as acceptable. Honestly they don't care if others use utensils, but their preferred method is by hand. Soups by sipping from the bowl. Think about going to Japan and asking for a fork to eat your sushi.

Popcorn Posts: 9,904 Group: Elite Member Member #5,870 Joined: March 19, 2011 Gender Other Country Canada	There's also the fact that many dishes are too slow or inconvenient to eat with utensils, some dishes are just meant to be eaten wih your hand Where would a fork or spoon come in when your eating Naan bread and you scoop it into your daal or curry and eat it, it just doesn't Only time is at the end for me anyways, not that I eat much Indian food these days but use a spoon to drink what's left of my daal or w/e But I'm in Canada most people would sip it in india
