Indians believe that the pleasure of eating comes from the sense of touch, and knives, forks and chopsticks prevent this feeling, so they also prevent that unique pleasure. More importantly, grasping rice with your hands can help you know the temperature of food in advance and avoid burning your tongue or mouth. Most Indians only use three fingers when grabbing rice, namely thumb, forefinger and middle finger.
A long time ago, only aristocrats or wealthy families could afford tableware, so the poor could only grab it by hand. After a long time, they formed a habit. Usually when the meal is cold, they can get started directly. Secondly, it is convenient and fast. We all know that the legendary Indian hand-grabbed rice sauce is generally mushy, so it is much easier to mix it with rice or cake.
Indians grab food with their right hands.
Indians also have rules for eating. Both adults and children should eat with their right hands, pass food and tableware to others, and even use their right hands. This is because people think that their right hand is clean and their left hand is dirty. This is related to another habit of Indians.
Indians, like toilets, do not use toilet paper to wipe them, but flush them with water. When flushing, they use their left hand instead of their right hand. When eating in restaurants and Indian homes, when the meal is almost finished, the host often brings you a small bowl of warm water with a lemon floating on it. This water must not be drunk. It is used to wash hands. After dinner, a plate of green wheat fragrance will be served for everyone to chew and eliminate oral odor.
