Don't forget to spit on the sink as many times as you possibly can. Anything outside this is considered lack of etiquette. Add; .......sneeze loud, blow hard with bare fingers then clear the throat hard and then spit again on the sink!!!  "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."

Me thinks this mzungu eating is too complicated for nothing. Unakula kuku na haumalizi. Tunyama twingne tume baki huko katikati na unatuacha ati juu ya etiquette!...hakuna haaaja! Nikikula mchele dondo sikuwangi na napkin na sijichafui. Nikila Kizungu nalazimishwa kuvaa kama kitoto kwa sababu ya ile stress ya kukula na vijichuma! Halafu si mzungu ni mchafu? Sasa yuakula zile thigoji znakuliwa na supu na haoshi mkono!

The worst thing is,the very muzungu we are trying to ape will ask what the food served contains. Mkenya na maringo would rather eat a shell than ask if it's edible. Has anybody ever seen the way some people hold forks? na right hand kwanza then knife on the left? U hold a fork like a forked jembe ni kama ur about to plough land. And since you are right handed and the knife is on the left u end up using it to push food all over the plate. Some in their so called sophistication attempt to cut meat off bone sending the knife or the piece of chicken to fly over to other people's tables or hit the floor. Rip off that chicken with hands.That's why u washed hands.An it's the reason we have napkins. The rest use fork an knife.

This obsession with foreign cultures is another testimony of the extent to how further we are ready to bend over to abandon our own. When you think about it, what is wrong with everybody eating their style so long as the basic manners are observed?

When you think about it, what is wrong with everybody eating their style so long as the basic manners are observed? I could give u so many reasons. Nbo city is a metropolitan trying to accomodate all.Trying to force your village style of eating down everybody's throat in a city is criminal. Enter an italian restuarant in the city and eat like them. If that is difficult,please take a walk down Burma and enjoy ur meal.

Nway,tukaenda for chinese lunch where they have this lunch with a show> sarakasi ya moto,creating volcanoes,hitting pans and knives at times the chef looks like he's about to cut your neck off.smh.all part of the show.Na imelipiwa. Great food till chopsticks came.Argh.Everybody's eyes were on me!cz they knew siwesmake. I tried eating rice na sticks wapi!They had to bring me baby chopsticks. Sijui kama unazijua,they are smaller,shorter and tied together with rubberband at the end. That was easier.Everybody was on the next course while I was struggling with baby sticks. Eventually I gave up! I took my fork and went on. Hakuna shame.It was hilarious. They gave me the mob chopsticks to carry back home. Bado ziko. am laughing with you
