I've been to a fairly decent number if Indian joints, even in other countries, and they've all given utensils.

Now, the Ethopian places I've been to, there wasn't a fork or knife even available in the facility.

The indian places I have been to (like in Bangalore) serve their food on metal plates with metal bowls for the chutneys and yogurts. as well as metal utensils.

The chinese and japanese have it right with teh chopsticks, though. or ethiopean, using injera as the "utensil"

PBR blows regardless.

PBR is FANTASTIC for deglazing pans and making reduction sauces

Indian food is supposed to be eaten with your hands, not utensils.

Indian food is supposed to be eaten with your right hand, not utensils.

Fixed for more accuracy

 

[JAXvillain]

The food goes in with the right hand and out with the left.

You stick your hands in spicy and scalding curry and see if the locals eat with their hands.

It's scooped up with naan. Have you eaten Indian authentically before?

Dave, let's go eat Indian food this weekend. I'm now craving it... thanks a lot!

We've gone a few times with friends who have been to India as well as with Indian friends. Never have I heard of everything being scooped up only with naan

That's how every Indian I've eaten with eats. Maybe it's a Southern vs. Northern Indian thing?

Dunno, maybe my peeps are americanized. They used forks and stuff. Besides, scooping rice onto your bread is a little weird.

I always use the naan for most of my utensil but a fork or something comes in handy on occasion.

 

[eileenbunny]

Yeah, I can't imagine eating Indian without utensils, nor can I imagine wanting to. Now I want it too.

I think it's more a haves vs have nots kind of thing.

We have an Indian friend who showed us the way.

 

[APRIL]

... And he's northern Indian.

It's surprising how different N vs. S are... The South are looked down upon by the north.

I guess kinda like here.

I was in fucking Bangalore. Not all dishes are served automatically with naan, nor is it even required to eat. Yes a majority is eaten with hands, but since I am lighter skinned, I was expected to eat with utensils.

Same here actually.

The Indians I've eaten with most made 6 figures without even blinking. I doubt it was a have not. (One owned an IT consulting company, the other had tenure at Princeton)

 

[eileenbunny]

Well, the Indians I've eaten with used forks and knives. They also use toilet paper. It's not that I don't like sopping up extra sauce with my naan, I'm just not gonna dig into a bowl of korma without at least a spoon.
