It's not great etiquette to use the fingers but not disgusting either, and unless you go to expensive restaurants you'll see plenty of French people eating their frites with their fingers. | |

| Oct 26, 2016 at 7:30 | comment | added | walen | when it comes to western culture (...) Eating rice with hands will be seen (mostly) as strange, not disgusting. Uhhh I'm pretty sure that eating rice with your hands will be seen as disgusting by most people from e.g. Spain. You can explain that you're from India etc. and they'll let you do your thing, but that doesn't mean it's not disgusting. EDIT: as seen in the comments to this answer for a very related question. | |
| Oct 26, 2016 at 0:48 | comment | added | psubsee2003 | I love this answer. Frankly, anyone disgusted by the OP eating rice with his/her fingers needs to have kids. I've watched my 3 year old dip jellied cranberry sauce in ranch dressing and like it. In the end, any disgust is cultural, so maybe the disgusted people need to realize that their way isn't the only "right" way | |
| Oct 25, 2016 at 14:26 | comment | added | Fattie | An excellent answer. I would reiterate though that, I believe the word "disgusting" was simply misused. (The OP is writing in a second language, for goodness sake.) I believe the OP just meant "socially jarring, unacceptable" not literally "disgusting". | |
