Philippine Style

We can see many restaurants here in Philippines that peoples are eating using their bare hands. Usually restaurants that serves either roasted or grilled foods with rice of course. Eating foods like this with the hands is far easier than eating with cutlery no matter how habituated one may be to using forks, spoons, or knives. In defense of the practice of eating with the fingers it may be said that this leads to a certain minimum level of hygiene. It forces people to wash their hands before and after meals. And it says its more enjoyable eating with your fingers. Try it so you will know.
