On another occasion, some two dudes at an opposite table were brought two bowls, with water and lemons ...usually used to dip the hands into or something. They looked at the bowls puzzled, perhaps wondering the mode of water delivery. One took the lead, touched the bowl to his lips and drank. The other promptly followed. They even fished out the lemon slices and ate them. I had a hard time trying not to laugh out very loudly.
good one.Try also to
avoid spoon for main meals.Just fork and knife good enough.Spoons bigger one for soup and smaller for deserts.
@keke2, For the main meal, it's rice, how do you eat that with fork and knife?
I have seen guys eat hamburger with fork n knife,saw it at nakumatt lifestyle [books first] then at that steers on kaunda street or standard, i'm not sure.
Now those who are saying you should practice using chopsticks before meeting a Jap, where will you get the chopsticks to practice? If you don't know how to use the chopsticks, ask for fork or spoon. Why torture yourself?
I've always believed that eating should be fun and one of the most enjoyable things.
If and when it turns into torture count me out.
Its for that reason i hate fancy exotic restaurants. You will clear your plates [if you are that lucky], still wondering what the hell went wrong with the cooking.
Eating all the while trying to place taste of the food ain't fun for me.
Exotic my foot. That squirmy taste of small snails still lingers in the name of exotic. KNT!
