I feel it in my fingers: Why more of us should start eating with our hands The next time you eat something with your hands, take a moment to notice how it feels on your fingertips before taking a bite. If it’s a burger, are the buns smooth or covered in a smattering of sesame seeds? When you put pressure on them with your fingers, does the bread squish down or is it more of a crumby affair? Then, when you finally take a bite, notice how satisfying it is to sink your teeth through its layers; soft bun giving way to crunchy lettuce or onion, to oozy cheese to, finally, juicy patty. Now think about how different it would be if you had used a knife and fork. Eating with one’s hands is an immensely pleasurable experience. While in the West, the act is usually confined to foods encased in bread or pastry, Indian, African and some other Asian cultures are more adept at using their fingers for dishes that might seem too “messy” or “sticky” on this side of the world. One of my favourite dishes is banana leaf rice, which at its core comprises of rice, vegetables and curry. I mix each element of the dish and use a pinching motion with all five fingers to construct the perfect bite, before sweeping it up in a quick motion and delivering the food to my mouth. I find that it forces me to really consider each bite, from what flavours and textures I want it to contain, to how large a portion I can manage. www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/other/i-feel-it-in-my-fingers-why-more-of-us-should-start-eating-with-our-hands/ar-AA1fNBwf?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=7a8bfcc26a4642f2cf8552529294d48d&ei=17

My 4 year old granddaughter is an expert at this. She is capable of using utensils, but prefers to use her fingers. She especially like to use her fingers on rice and mashed potatoes!

I pretty much make up a veggie tray, charceuterie type tray almost every day. So we definitely do. But, some things are better to eat with your hands. Pizza, wings, fries, fried chicken etc

Soup is pretty hard to eat with your hands. LOL.
I like to use chips to scoop a Chipotle burrito bowl.

I grew up eating with my hands. Unless it was something soupy of course. I still prefer to eat with my hands. Food just seems so much more enjoyable that way. I was five years old the first time I learned what utensils were lol. And then I had to learn to use them.

Speaking of eating with your hands, my son made some top notch ceviche for dinner tonight, which we had with tortilla chips. So tasty!

Bunch of culinary philistines... guessing you eat your pizza with a knife and fork? grapes with a spoon... a fork tends to send them flying across the table.
