Should work well for rice & curry mix and while it will raise some eyebrows in Western cultures, it is not appalling. Almost all of them eat their sliced bread with fingers. | |

| Oct 26, 2016 at 6:19 | comment | added | I'm with Monica | @FighterJet Neither fried chicken nor BBQ ribs are "dry" foods. I usually get my hands very messy when eating them. Doing so without utensils is considered perfectly ok in almost every setting here in Germany, though. - Eating burgers with fork and knife is a different matter: Its often the only viable method to not spill them everywhere and having to pick up the pieces with a fork, anyway... ;) | |

The difference with fries and hamburgers over "utensil-foods" such as rice is that these are dry finger foods and don't soil your hands. (Also, if you go to Finland, you might just find that some people there eat hamburgers with a fork and knife.) | |
