Stoopid post !. Is it not fufu or eba that they're eating. What else were they supposed to use. However packing rice with one's hands is gross. I've seen people do that.
Chicken on the other hand MUST be eaten with hand. especially drumsticks.

Whether in the public or in the private one should eat the way one is comfortable with otherwise don't order for foods that will cause you discomfort in the manner you should eat. I don't see anything wrong here hence its what they like to take. They are only expressing their culture.

There's no need crying unnecessarily, please!

It's a very simple question - 4 people dipping their ball of eba into the same plate of ogbono soup, is it gross or cool[b]?[/b]

Food is supposed to be eaten at ones comfort. OP, If u think this is gross, mine is the 'grossest' cos when i go to fast food joint to eat rice and chicken, i always ask them to do away wit their fork and give me Shovel{spoon}. Come beat me now. Lol

stagger: I have always eaten African swallow with my fingers, whether in public or private. What the hell is wrong with that?
I am appalled at all these attempts to Westernize Africans, meanwhile a typical Westerner treat Africans like dirt. What in the world is supposed to be wrong with eating swallow with the fingers?
I think, as usual, lots of nairalanders are being overly sentimental over nothing.
The question wasn't posed in regard to eating without cutlery, but with regard to 4 people sharing one plate of ogbono soup.
We know how messy that thing can be . . .before the 2 people at the extreme ends get their ball of eba into their mouth, the ogbono must have dripped everywhere. tongue

To clear the air : The OP didn't pose the question, I did . . .I included it to give you all something to agree and disagree on. smiley
Even though I'm getting the desired result, I'll like to remind y'all that it's necessary to keep the comments civil. wink

food is food, whether you eat it with hands or cutlery. I see nothing wrong here.

ultimatetboy: A
man had only one
daughter.
When
the daughter was
of marriage age,
the father sent
news around town
that all d eligible young men
should come to compete
in a test which
would determine who was fit to
marry his daughter. On dat set
day,
all d able-bodied young men
came
out. Some came with paper and
biro and others with cutlasses
and
swords.
The rich man took them to his
swimming pool
and addressed the men: â
€œAny
of
you
who can swim from one end of
this swimming pool to the other
would marry my daughter. In
addition, I‘ll give him 15
million
dollars, a car and a house so
they
can start life well. I shall b
waiting
to meet my son-in-law at d other
side. Good luck!�
As d young men, all very excited
at
the prospect of winning, started
taking off their shirts, a
helicopter
came over the pool
and dropped
snakes and crocodiles into the
pool. Immediately, all d men
turned
back and started wearing their
shirts again.Disappointed, some
of
them said,
''Thats crazy,.lets who can marry
that girl ,no one will'.
All of a sudden,
they heard a splash in the pool.
Everybody watched in
amazement
as one gentleman struggled his
way
across, avoiding the snakes and
crocodiles. Finally, he made it to
the
other side. The rich
man could not believe it. He
asked
d young man to name anything
he
wanted but the
man was still panting
uncontrollably.
Finally, he got himself and made
a
request saying, ''SHOW ME THE
PERSON WHO
PUSHED ME INSIDE THIS POOL!''
Moral: You don’t know what
you
are
capable of doing, until you are
PUSHED!!. You can still make the
most
out of the rest of the YEAR.
Sometimes it takes going
through
the
bad moments to bring out d
BEST
in us. Trials are raw materials for
Triumphant Testimonies... The
push might take different
dimensions:
some people needed to be
sacked
before realizing their
potentials and reaching their
goals
in life.
I PRAY SOMEONE OR SOMETHING
WILL
PUSH U INTO A GREATER HEIGHT
TODAY..

lol another st[i]u[/i]pid post from people with too much time on their hands. grin
Why is the OP trying to pretend as if she and her family members have not eaten with their hands before? that is their culture, if you find it gross then move on and use a fork to eat your fufu.

Swallow is an african food and not western. The only reasonable way to eat it is using your fingers. It is an abuse when you try using cuttlery. Anybody who does that should be laughed at and not the other way round.

Please, is it a crime if you don't speak your local dialect? Saying they should be shot is too harsh and inhumane. Must we always turn violent if we don't like someone's personal view or comment.
Everyone is entitled to speak whatever language pleases them.

But him putting down someone that is speaking their local dialect is idi.otic. And i didn't say "they" I said him, not the people that don't speak their language. And its the internet, its not like im gonna go shoot him directly in his house(I dont even know the guy sef). Dangg nigerians have to be so serious about everything *Rolls eyes*
