My mother-in-law put it succinctly when I asked her why we eat with our hands. According to her, it engenders a deeper connection with food. As soon as you take that first bite, an inextricable link is formed between your hand, mouth, and food. Spoons and forks interfere with this connection., the holistic science of healing which stems from the Vedas, ancient India’s religious scriptures.
...it engenders a deeper connection with food. As soon as you take that first bite, an inextricable link is formed between your hand, mouth, and food. Spoons and forks interfere with this connection. India is not the only country that eats with their hands. Many countries in Africa and the Middle East also use their hands for eating. But unlike in India, table culture in Ethiopia and Eritrea involves sharing from a single communal plate . The Arabian states of the Middle East also believe in eating from a common plate and scooping food with the right hand.
With the growing popularity of immigrant cuisines in the United States, the stigma surrounding eating with one’s hands seems to be reducing. But I doubt if I would be able to do what my father-in-law did more than 25 years ago.
, “The secret of pleasurable eating is not to feel constrained by rules, especially those invented by ‘polite society,’ whatever its ethnicity.”
This was lovely, and I could not agree more, chutneylover. Eating with your hands is so intimate and primal, and I do it often. There is no norm—the ‘norm’ is fluid and ever-changing. 'If you're going to be weird, be confident about it.'

Zwilling Fresh & Save Food Vacuum Sealer SetHeads up! Additional promotions do not apply to this item. Extra bags and additional accessories will be available in April. Check back then to expand your Fresh & Save collection! See ya, loud and bulky vacuum sealers—there’s a new lineup in town. This food storage system makes it a snap to store your produce and leftovers, then have ‘em last up to 5 times longer (no more wilty greens!). The sealer has a teensy footprint for no-fuss storage, and it’ll charge up again and again with the included USB cable. It’s bringing along a few friends while it’s at it: two stackable glass containers and four reusable plastic bags (which, tip, are total pros at sous-vide). They’re all microwave-safe, and they’ll send freezer burn packing, too. Oh, and bonus: The containers are dishwasher-friendly...and you could even slide that glass right into the oven. Ready to get storing? Simply set the sealer on the valve, press the button, and let it handle the rest...it’ll even stop on its own. Then, go ahead and marvel at how long your foods stay fresh-as-can-be.
